Robert Lucas won a million dollars and a Nobel Prize this month for his
economic theory.

settlement.
It stated: should her husband ever win the Nobel Prize she would get 50
percent of the money.

And she was lucky in another way: the settlement stipulated that if Lucas
won the prize after October 31st, 1995, the clause was void.
In other words, if he had won it one month later, his ex-wife would not
have gained a penny.
As for Robert Lucas, he says a deal is a deal--adding it's hard to be
unpleasant after winning a prize like that.
