I normally browse through this sub once in a while for a dopamine hit but every-time I come across a post I can’t forget my dad’s story.

My dad was obsessed with lottery games when I was younger to the point he had a small book of previous winning numbers. He couldn’t make it to the store to buy the ticket so he gave my uncle the numbers to buy for him. Surprisingly my dad won 4 out of 5 of the numbers, he called my uncle to bring the ticket, well my uncle stalled and ended up cashing it in himself! He quietly left the country and blew the money!

Based on what my mom says my dad didn’t eat for an entire week. She’s also convinced that this situation changed him as he’s not the same since. When I ask my dad about my uncle he calls him a crook or just brushes it off.

I was talking to a friend the other day and they said rightfully the money was for my uncle since he bought the ticket. I really do disagree but you really can’t trust family no matter what. I know y’all are smarter than my dad but this was in the 90’s soooo.
