Wow
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
male cousin from new york
female cousin from houston
A New York man won $1 million on a scratch-off lottery ticket and asked his cousin to cash it in for him — but prosecutors say she lied to him, gave him bogus paperwork and pocketed the money herself instead.
Iris Amador Argueta, 32, of Houston, was arrested Monday and arraigned Tuesday on felony charges of grand larceny and possession of forged documents.
It all began a year ago, the Nassau County DA's office says, when Argueta's unnamed cousin bought a $5 "Hold 'Em Poker" ticket at a convenience store in Glen Cove. The ticket was a winner: the $1 million jackpot.
The winner wanted to remain anonymous, so he asked his cousin Argueta to cash the ticket in for him in exchange for $50,000. She agreed, and mailed in the lucky scratcher.
But a few weeks later, she appeared at her cousin's home with allegedly forged paperwork from the New York Lottery, "showing" that he had only won $20,000. She gave him a little over $13,000 in cash and said the state took the rest in taxes.
There was one problem with the scheme, the DA's office said — the state lottery issued a press release saying Argueta had claimed the prize, which had a lump-sum payout after taxes of $537,440.
When the victim found out and contacted Argueta, she denied having the money and threatened her cousin with legal consequences if he kept contacting her.
$1 Million NY Scratch-Off ‘Winner' Stole Ticket From Her Cousin, DA Says
Police and prosecutors say they have recovered almost $318,000 of the money from Argueta's bank account.

I'm pretty sure there's ways to remain anonymous and accept the money, like accepting it in a trust
. Dude was just dumb as shyt.
. Dude was just dumb as shyt.The thought of having her taken out would cross my mind.
My guess is that he has an ex wife waiting in the cut. None of that matters. He trusted her enough not to pull some foul shyt like that.
Some of my cousins are like brothers and sisters to me. I would honestly be hurt if they pulled some shyt like that as if they actually needed the money, e.g. for surgery, I wouldn't hesitate to give them the entire sum.

500k wasn’t worth the hassle of trying to remain anonymous lol.
Im NY, they don’t let you anonymously claim period. I would’ve just moved after my name was posted, and lived a low key, quiet life in the country somewhere.
