Lottery Winner's Dilemma: Family Demands Share of Modest Winnings!

Our lottery winner thought their £70,000 prize would be a ticket to a better life, but their family had other ideas! Parents and brother demanded a cut, even though the money barely covered a house deposit outside of London. Talk about great expectations! The winner's decision to invest in their future didn't sit well with the fam, who accused them of being selfish. But with a brother who's allergic to work and parents who refuse to leave the big city, was sharing an option? 🤔 The internet has some thoughts on this family feud! Let's dive into the juiciest reactions and see what the verdict is!

Living within means and good decisions: 👍 for NTA.
