Sonny boy is an ungrateful little sh*t who should have his ass kicked hard. I thought Asian cultures taught respect for your parents and elders.Looks like the boy got Americanized quick when the dollars started floating around....

Sonny boy is an ungrateful little sh*t who should have his ass kicked hard. I thought Asian cultures taught respect for your parents and elders.> It was my scratch ticket, he said. I don't know what's wrong with him. Maybe the fact that dad bought the ticket, signed it, and not only lost the money but lost it to his worthless son who he made the mistake of trusting after all the time, work and money spent raising him is what made him upset. That's just a guess.The sad thing is they will find... [ More ]

I'm not seeing the big deal. He said he doesn't understand English as well as his son and his son is more buisness savy than he is. Him signing it over seems like a better idea than him cashing it and losing it all out of stupidity. Granted the father SHOULD have written something that said that his son was managing the money but it is HIS money!Cashing it out....and investing the money the way you see fit is the better option. The father probably didn't understand that. It's sad to see a family... [ More ]

I don't understand your comment. I mean, although I agree it is better to take the cash option most of the time, what's wrong with winning $50,000 a year? I guess you are saying he should have spent his money on another game, but he won didn't he? That's what counts!!In response to those who say not to trust your family, I think it's a personal matter. It's silly to waste mental energy on this, but I've often wondered what I'd do since I'd like to help my sisters, but I'd also be afraid they'd... [ More ]

I would still tell my mother and sisters. I know that they would never rip me off. Everyone has different families and knows who they can and cannot trust.

Apparently even the son knows lump sum is better. If only he had convinced his father not to buy that ticket.

If you have a winning lottery ticket, you should not tell anyone prior to claiming the prize (maybe except for your financial advisory team).... but definitely NOT anyone else.

Just curious- does anyone know how much Northeastern Capital Funding would pay in a lump sum ie: how much do they keep ?This story is not all that surprising- when it comes to money- trust no one, not even family.

Two months ago, a Vietnamese immigrant named Thien Minh Luu said he experienced a stroke of extraordinary good fortune: He bought a $5 lottery scratch ticket at a convenience store in Worcester and won $1 million.But what first appeared to be the quintessential modern American fairy tale has turned into the archetypal American family feud. The 45-year-old manicurist filed a lawsuit, saying his 21-year-old son tricked him into turning over the ticket and then tried to steal the winnings.Luu and h... [ More ]
