Two brothers were so angry their dad didn't share his £3.1million EuroMillions jackpot win with them they smashed up his brand new cars with a hammer.
Alex Robertson was part of a 12-strong syndicate of bus drivers who shared £38million in 2012.
But the "life-changing" win soon turned into a nightmare for the dad from Glasgow, with two of his sons claiming he refused to share any of his winnings with them.
The Daily Record reported at the time that William and brother Alex Jnr were given just 200 cigarettes after the huge EuroMillions win.
William and Alex Jnr were so angry they took matters into their own hands.
Speaking to The Sun, Alex Jnr, 45, said: "We ended up taking hammers to his two new 4x4 Shoguns.
"We walked up his driveway at 11 o'clock at night and put two claw hammers through the windows of the car.
"We then reported ourselves to the police.”
He told the newspaper at the time: “This lottery win was the worst thing that ever happened to us — it ripped our families apart."
After winning £3.1million, Alex said the sum of money would be "life-changing" and insisted he would be taking his 78-year-old mother to see her twin in Australia.
But he fell out with two of his sons and accused William of harassment and sending threatening texts.
William was charged with harassment and was due to stand trial at Northampton Magistrates’ Court, but the case was dropped in 2013 after Alex Snr, 77, decided against flying from Spain to give evidence in the trial.
Of course it's not the first time and won't be the last a lottery win causes problems among family members.
Earlier this week Kirk Stevens, who won the jackpot worth £3.6million in the National Lottery’s Set For Life draw in March, said he felt "hard done by" after claiming he lost out on a five-bedroom house when his girlfriend dumped him.
And in 2009 Jim Hogg, from Drongnan, Ayrshire fumed when the rest of his syndicate refused to give his wife Nan a chunk of the £100,000 prize, despite picking the lucky numbers.
