I am a child of Cuban Exiles. I grew up in Miami. I know for a fact that no one in my family has ever sent money/goods back to Cuba until my dad started sending medicines to his cousin a few months ago. They all considered it traitorous to send dollars to Cuba. This type of thinking is prevelant within the Exile community.

I know that there are many Exiles who would never even consider sending a penny back to Cuba. I would venture to say 80%+ of Exiles would never consider sending a cent back, until Castro is gone.

I didn't realize this was the case with the exiles, but it makes sense. I wonder, though, if it holds true for the winners of this lottery. Have you ever heard of this lottery?

You don't know what you're talking about.

According to official statistic of the U.S. government and of the Cuban National Bank, over $800 million dollars and sent to their relatives in Cuba by the Cuban exiled community living just in the U.S. That figure do not take into consideration the millions taken undeclared by those who travel to visit their relatives in Cuba.
