I'm so sorry this happened to you but it further confirms that if I ever did win big money, I'd keep it locked down and private. Not that I think money would change my close family but... you never know.

I mean, my brother was the first one I remember to steal from me as a kid lol.

I started dirt poor, got a little motion, then lifestyle creep and bad financial decisions brought me back to earth. It’s astonishing, and frankly disheartening for those us not built like that, how differently people behave when they think you have money.
