Yes, Psykomo! I agree. Breaks my heart too reading about the woes of the wealthy! I hear them all the time around here. Working in cust serv for a Maid company really opened up my eyes. Some people would have fits because they found dust under the bed or on top of the refrigerator. I also realized I must be the biggest slob in the universe.

This is why:

1. You keep your mouth shut.

2. You don't play in groups.

3. You leave town immediately after claiming the prize.

seems to me that the sister got ripped off at the original time of the win. she should have fought that in court str8 away. getting 600k for a house later it could be seen by her as recompense, with the half mill she initially got.

as they say a verbal contract is as good as the paper its written on.

It is amazing the amount of greed people can have over the fact that they have money and want more of it. It is too bad that they lost the relationship between each other over the property.-weshar75

Just keep the money, your secrets and your silence. Anything else is a problem.

Some lottery winners can't resist shouting their good fortune from the rooftops with a champagne-spraying celebration. Others prefer to keep their new-found wealth secret, fearful of begging letters and never-ending jealousy from friends and extended family.

Clyde Baxter had no doubt which route he preferred in the wake of a staggering 6.75 million Lottery win seven years ago. While he felt obliged to tell his parents and two of his siblings, he refused to tell two other brothers, presumabl... [ More ]
