Lord knows what kind of goofball relatives would come out of the woods if I won the lottery. Some of the ones I am aware of are bad enough.
Yep! You'd have family you never knew you had... people are such parasites LOL
Standard advice for new lottery winners is to change your phone number and move into a hotel room temporarily (or even better, leave town if you can) before you even turn in the ticket. You should also hire an assistant to handle all your incoming mail and calls for at least a year or so. Why? Because once your name is published, not only will all your little-known relatives start coming out of the woodwork, so will thousands of people you've never met before and have no relationship to you at all ... and every single one of them will be begging for money.
