A United Kingdom lottery winner just took to the subreddit r/AITA to talk about some major family conflict. As he shared, he just won a £4 million prize (around $5.4 million), and noted in his post, “I’m 19M, my parents are 49M and 47F. Without going into too much detail and making this longer than necessary, I only waited around a week before I told my parents.
“They were excited and so was I, it was all going fine until they started talking about the money as if it was theirs.” The parents immediately started making plans for retirement, boats, holidays, and world travel, all under the assumption that they were entitled to a massive portion of the winnings. When the winner asked for an exact figure, he was shocked by their response: “Stone cold face, they say half.”
