A lottery winner in the US who won $1 million handed over the ticket to a cousin for collection, only to be told she won $20,000, resulting in the cousin keeping the rest. The winner discovered the truth, confronted the cousin, and took legal action, leading to the cousin facing up to 4 years in prison. Despite initially agreeing on a $50,000 reward, the cousin only handed over $13,436, leading to a legal battle and the eventual return of the embezzled money.
