Everyone was happy to hear the news, until we found out that no one was even getting a dime. If his other family members would have won all of that money, he would have damn sure gotten a nice little chunk, to pay off some bills, or take a real nice vacation, or do whatever he wanted to do with it.

All it is, is GREED!! I hope that they continue to be happy, because things do turn around with people like that!

We don't even call him Robert anymore, his new name is:

" THE LORD OF LUXURY"

That's funny. My friend knew someone with the similar situation. His sister won a few million and acted like the rest of her family didn't exist.

This was after they had all agreed to take care of each other, if one of them had won that kind of money.

To this day, they never speak, and it's a shame what money does to you.

Hopefully, someone else in your family wins millions, and gets to rub it in.

Good luck and Take care.

I think it couldn't have happened to two better people. They were always taking care of their family before theirselves. Where was everyone when they were going thru tough times. They have been more than generous especially with their time. They haven't changed, we can still call them anytime. Everyone should just let them sort through things and give them a chance to share their happiness. This is a life changing event for them and I am glad they are taking their time to do the right thing. They are far from greedy and have shared their wealth of thoughtful gifts just ask their GREAT and GREAT GREAT nephews. Yea, who is Robert LOL!!!

First of all #1, anyone that wants to be anonymous is just a coward to me. Whoever you are, I'd like to tell you that you have no idea what goes on in "BOB's" family. They may have discussed giving family members something. But, if not, it's their money and their business. I'm one of "BOB's" brothers, and he's never denied me, if I've ever asked him for anything, which I've done for him in return. So, I just want to tell you that it's not GREED, it's just whoever you are being JEALOUS!

I have no hard feelings with my brother Bob. I talk to him on the phone about 2-3 times a week and he seems to be the same brother I had before the winnings. I do laugh sometimes when he's checking on buying something and looks for a deal. He took up a hobby (Model trains) and we discuss them and exchange ideas (Most of which I have no idea about)I help him with his computer problems, which he is most grateful for. I trust his judgement and believe me he was never one to deny helping his family in any way he could.
I don't feel that I or anyone should be posting things on here anonymously.

Frankly, with your attitude, you shouldn't receive a darn dime. Maybe Bob and his wife will spend it all on themselves. Maybe they will share some of their newfound wealth with family members and friends who unconditionally love them. Maybe they will donate it to abused, abandoned or unwanted unconditionally loving animals. Maybe they will donate it to their church. Maybe they will donate it to homeless or poverty stricken humans worldwide. Any one of those options or many other worthy causes would be much better than giving a dime to you and family members and friends of your ilk. We know who the winners are, and it is clear who the losers are.

I don't know Bob and his wife, but I am very happy for them. It is your winnings and you should do what you want with it.

Who do people think they are to assume you should give them something. It is sad they just can't be happy for you.

I'll take their share, just kidding, have a ball, enjoy and be happy.

There are two sides to Bob's family, not just one. Just wanted to make that clear.

I am Bob's neice from the other side of the family! You are right you dont know who wrote it and we will probably never figure it out. No sense of getting into that bc as u can see everyone else is very happy for them except that one "Anonymous" jealous person who would love to see this turn into a family battle.
