Answer:

$140,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of lottery = $1,500,000

Man's ratio = 41

Wife's ratio = 34

Total ratio = 41 + 34 = 75

Man's share = Man's ratio / Total ratio * Value of lottery

= 41/75 * $1,500,000

= 0.5466666666666 * $1,500,000

= $820,000

Wife's share = wife's ratio / total ratio * Value of lottery

= 34/75 * $1,500,000

= 0.4533333333333 * $1,500,000

= $680,000

Difference between the man's share and his wife's share

= Man's share - wife's share

= $820,000 - $680,000

= $140,000
