Alternative interpretation: Many women tolerate abusive relationships because they do not have the means to financially support themselves and their kids. Winning the lottery is a way out.

Probably a factor.
Another is that some men are uncomfortable with a wealthier partner. I know a few like this who say it plainly, but it showed up recently in "Crazy Rich Asians" with the tech CEO husband.

I think research actually show this is the other way around - very little women are ok with marrying less wealthy me, while for men it is common (e.g. male doctor might marry a female nurse but it will rarely happen the other way around).
