Woman Wins $600K From Lottery Ticket, Stands Her Ground When Boyfriend and Estranged Family Believe They're Entitled to Her Winnings

Everyone dreams of winning the lottery. A large sum of money can be life-changing for folks who didn't come from a lot of money or are going through a financially tough time in their lives. If I won the lottery, the two things I'd do first is buy a house and then get the most expensive haircut and dye job of my life. Ladies know that a trip to the salon costs an arm and a leg these days! Coming into a large sum of money isn't all rainbows and unicorns, though. People will start coming out of the woodwork showing their true, greyscale colors once they realize they're not going to benefit from your winnings.

The woman in this story won a $600k cash prize from a lottery ticket and was obviously ecstatic. She told her boyfriend about the new wealth she'd just come into, but he quickly began deciding what she should do with her money for her. You can guess that it was mostly things he wanted, like a luxurious car, and investments in "risky ventures". The icing on the cake: he wanted to quit his job. The woman immediately backtracks and states she wants to meet with a financial advisor so she can understand what the best course of action is with her cash winnings. The boyfriend starts showing his true colors, and then the woman's estranged family starts coming out of the woodwork with the same entitled sentiments. 

She's planning a trip to Japan as we speak. Scroll below to get the entire story, and additionally, comments from Redditors who are cheering her on in this next phase of her life.
