Read previewA 92-year-old Australian man unsuccessfully attempted to sue his daughter, alleging in a lawsuit that she bullied him into transferring nearly a third of his lottery winnings to her.
This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers.
A few months later he paid roughly $195,051 in US currency to his daughter Suzanne Vourlides, a little less than a third of his total winnings.
Legal representation for Bampton and Vourlides did not immediately respond to Business Insider's requests for comments, which were sent outside of business hours.
A Wells Fargo lottery advisor told Business Insider last year that winners frequently struggle to know how to say "no" to family members.
