Is family more important than money? Stop laughing. Why are you laughing?
There's a woman named Barb Reddick who lives in Margaree Forks, Nova Scotia, Canada, and her town runs a local lottery that works like a raffle with a huge prize and then a bunch of smaller prizes.
Well . . . on Wednesday, she won the jackpot with her nephew, Tyrone MacInnis. Both of their names were on the ticket, so they split the prize of $930,000.
They each got checks for half, they took smiling pictures, and that should've been their happy family moment. BUT . . . yesterday, Barb made a hell of a left turn.
She said she told her nephew they could split the consolation prizes from the lottery . . . but not the grand prize. So she's going to SUE HIM to get his half of the money.
She says she doesn't think he deserves the money, and she only put his name on the ticket, quote, "For good luck. Because he's like a son to me . . . he was."

(Here's a picture of them holding the check. It's Canadian dollars, which is why it says $1.2 million, not $930,000.)
