COVINGTON — Lawyers for Mack Wayne Metcalf, Northern Kentucky's $65.4 million Powerball winner, told a Kenton County judge Tuesday that Mr. Metcalf wants to set up a $1 million trust fund for his teen-age daughter.

        The trust fund would settle a back child support case that was brought against Mr. Metcalf when it was learned that the Florence man owed an estimated $31,000 in support.

        Before Tuesday's hearing, a judge had already ordered that Mr. Metcalf put more than $800,000 in an escrow in lieu of future child support payments.

        He and his ex-wife, Marilyn Collins of London, Ky., have a 15-year-old daughter, Amanda. The couple divorced in 1986.

        Mr. Metcalf's attorneys are in negotiations with the Kenton County Attorney's office to work out the final details, said Rita Ferguson, Kenton County's director of child support prosecution.

        Judge Patricia Summe recommended Ms. Collins, who didn't appear in court, get a lawyer to represent her interests. The judge also appointed attorney Michael Sketch to represent the daughter's interests. Mr. Sketch has been the trustee of the $800,000, pending a settlement.

        If Mr. Metcalf adheres to Judge Summe's orders in the child support proceedings in Kenton County, a criminal charge of flagrant non-support filed by Mr. Metcalf's ex-wife in Boone County court could be dismissed. A hearing on that case is scheduled for Nov. 14 in Burlington.
