  I often read the posts when most people retort: "all your family, friends, and everybody else will come out of the woodwork wanting to be your friend!" In the case of your family -- remember: you can choose your friends, but you can't choose your relatives.  Unless, they're minors, you're not entitled to help them because they're adults.  Now, if they're disabled, that's something different. 

  Reading the posts, I often wondered....why do the potential winners want to take care of the entire family: aunts, uncles, nieces, first and second cousins, and cousins -- twice removed?  It's your money!  Forgive me, if your family members took care of you when you were down and out, by all means, please take care of them!

  Finally, when you come across the 'give-me-types-because-I-deserve-it' -- tell them: "all you need is a $1.00 and a dream!"

  well i can understand help family . especially if you are in a position that you can help . like take the latest mega millions winner . they could put 2 million in a money market account and help their family with the interest the account makes each month . the interest will be i $20,000  (rate at 1%) and more if interest rate is higher . only help in good cause like education, hospital, e.t.c 

  i am not saying to support family members  bad habits now.... only positive
