Aunt to Sue Nephew After $1.2M Lotto Win
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-s...orks-1.4745803
What a shame. She put her nephew's name on the ticket, but says she never intended to split the grand prize...only the 50/50 prize. Sigh. Small-minded people are tiring. YOU put the kids name on the ticket, just accept that YOU might have screwed up if you didn't want to split the prize with him. She says she put his name on it for good luck. Now, the family will be lucky to not have a major rift in it. Lawyers will be the only winners here. (sorry LawMan, no disrespect intended! lol)

Re: Aunt to Sue Nephew After $1.2M Lotto Win
What a ****ing idiot. You put the name on the ticket. Accept that you ****ed up, take your half, and shut up.
It's not that surprising though - there are endless stories of brain-dead lottery winners. I'm sure it has something to do with the types of people that generally buy lottery tickets...

...and a lot of them blow it all in the first year, even the bigger ones. I'd like to say I could handle it but who the hell knows?
When I was in my 20's I probably would have ended up dead with that kind of windfall

Being in NS, this is all over the news down this way. It's comical to be honest. Who says money isn't everything when it comes to someone you considered to be "like a son" to you.

Re: Aunt to Sue Nephew After $1.2M Lotto Win
I read a stat that said that 40 percent of Canadians who win lotteries of over 5 million dollars, end up declaring bankruptcy at some point later in their lives. Not sure if it's true or not, but it ties into this type of mindset from PD.Originally Posted by PrairieDog

Re: Aunt to Sue Nephew After $1.2M Lotto Win
I'm sure it is true. I've seen a program on TV about winners that blew it all. One guy in the USA was working at McDonalds when he won about $3 million. He said he was miserable the whole time he had the money and within 4 years I believe, it was gone and was back working at McDonalds. He said he was happy again.
That kind of money just isn't for everyone. Your life changes more ways than one.

Re: Aunt to Sue Nephew After $1.2M Lotto Win
Who gets the feeling the kid will come out of this with a damaged relationship with his parents, no more aunt, but gets a house, gets a vehicle and lives a good life. But the aunt ends up with $0, and no family now, and lives super bitter.

Re: Aunt to Sue Nephew After $1.2M Lotto Win
This isn't even about stupidity, it simply just comes down to greed. You put his name on it for good luck, and got lucky. Be content that you won more than a free ticket and split half with a family member. I'd rather have 50% of 1.2M than 100% of nothing.

The love of money is the root of all evil (and stupidity in this case)
Re: Aunt to Sue Nephew After $1.2M Lotto Win
Truly though, the kid should take the $200,000 his aunt offered him and STFU. She obviously purchased the ticket and like she said, he will probably inherit the rest of whats left eventually anyways.
Re: Aunt to Sue Nephew After $1.2M Lotto Win
If I got the story right, the kid purchased the ticket for the aunt and told him to put his name on the ticket for luck. Unless the aunt told him that she wasn't going to split the grand prize with him, and it's really what SHE can prove, then she should accept the fact she screwed up. I get that if she did have that agreement with the kid, then she feels betrayed, which would explain why she comes across as very angry.

Re: Aunt to Sue Nephew After $1.2M Lotto Win
According to your link, she said that she always puts Tyrone's name on her tickets for good luck.
Hey, Tyrone MacInnis is her address. She just forgot to write down her number.
EDIT Also, the aunt emailed her nephew the $100 to buy the ticket.
