Okay so everyone has a different situation speaking. I have read many comments about this woman yet I don't know really anything about her, her finances, her facebook, etc.
She claimed the money less than 24 hours however technically speaking she won't get the money just yet. I am sure it does take time process so we all don't know all the major details except for what the media mentioned and the lottery headquarters mentioned. It is basically no ones business on her finances and we don't know much on her even though technically our biggest and my competitor Google is out there so who knows. I would be worried for her kids too.
Everyone yes congratulated her. However she is plastered all over facebook. That is not good at all and not a good reputation. think about how many people are going to claim to being a distant relative, friends who she grew up with, people are going to beg her.
A month or more ago before my uncle passed away from kidney failure a woman called and claimed to be a long lost sister and talked to my uncle my dads younger brother. That shocked my mom, me, my sister and my remaining uncles. Weird that my dad has been gone and when my gparents have been gone over 15 yrs. No mention.
First thing I would have done was get the lawyer, finances together, strategy, look possibly at buying amazon stock and any iras. I would then help my mom out with certain finances, my sister I actually would even though I don't trust my sister and she has dissed me (I am the older out of 3 by 7 years). I love my sister however don't be dissing your elder. I have a handicapped brother too and I would make sure he is taken care of. We are 19 months apart and he is a cool kid.
I predict that the woman needs to get a lawyer asap and everyone and peter paul and mary will be coming for her. Not out of the boat yet the non profits and the scam charities will be calling her who knows who else.
Solution: Delete facebook immediately, delete twitter and anything else. Look out for the coworker does she trust that person. She doesn't seem to know what to do. I smell something funny and wrong with this whole picture.
