Boyfriend Loses It When Girlfriend Decides To Keep Her Lottery Winnings ‘Under A Lock’ Until She Gets Professional Financial Advice (2024)

Nov 30, 2022

Money, or more specifically mind-bogglingly large sums of money, can have a weird effect on your friends and partner. If you ever win the lottery, you’ll probably realize incredibly quickly who you can trust, who’s greedier than you expected, and how you’re suddenly the star of the show. Or, rather, your freshly-fattened wallet is.

One redditor shared just how much drama came into her life after she won one of the top lottery prizes. She was hoping to invest the money, as well as to use it to set her family members up with proper places to live. Her boyfriend of 7 months, however, had other plans. You see, he wanted a new car. A Tesla, in fact. And he began pressuring his girlfriend and spilling the beans about her winnings to everyone in their social circle.

The situation escalated to the point that the woman began doubting that she was right to refuse her boyfriend’s request. So she turned to the AITA online community to hear their advice on the situation. Check out the full story below, and let us know what you would’ve done in the OP’s shoes, dear Pandas.
