Auntie put nephew's name on a $1.2M lottery ticket "for good luck."
Ticket hits. They both get ~$611K checks.
At the PUBLIC ceremony, holding the giant novelty check, she literally turns to the cameras and says: "I'm taking him to court. It was my ticket."
She claimed his name was just for luck, not to split winnings.
He said they had a deal.
Judge froze his half. They settled:
• Auntie: $872K
• Nephew: $350K
She smiled for the cameras then nuked him on live TV.
This is why you don't put family on your multisig.
Trust minimized > trust "good luck."
