Oh gosh, leave them in the dirt. If you won that much money, you don't need your parent's house anymore. Tell them to grow up.

AS hard as it may be, family is family. My recommendation to you is that you give each sibling a small and equal amount. Your brother has no right to kick you out of the house that your parents left to all of you and his childish remarks show that he has a false sense of entitlement to what is not his.
Money splits up many a family - especially when one has significantly more than the others. Your best bet is to get your money into CD's, a Roth IRA or other savings institution as soon as possible so that you can secure your own future. Then there will be no further arguing since the money will only be accessible by you in the future.
Worst case scenario is that you consider moving out from under the shadow of your overbearing family and using the money to help kick start your own life away from them.
Good luck!

It's your money. It's up to you what you want to do with it. I would suggest giving each of your siblings a small, equal amount. Then taking the rest for yourself! Invest it, put it into a CD, or put it into a Roth IRA. Your brother can't legally kick you out of that house, but with all that money, you can up and leave anyway!! Give them a little, take off and don't tell them where you are going!!! They sound VERY ungrateful!! Start a whole new life for yourself. Then you can decide what you can do with the rest. But at least they can't say you didn't give them anything, and you'll have a secure future!!! Hope this helped.
CONGRATULATIONS!!

KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!! Think of it as pay back for all your famly not giving a rats @ss about you Fine then leave your parents house he cant black mail you like that. Dont give into the pressure. I say get the heck out why you can. What you do is book a flight ASAP and go somewhere far away. Go to Mexico or Anguilla and vacation for a while until you can settle somewhere. Loose all contact with family members because they will find you.

Tell them how you feel. When your parents passed on and left their house to all the children, did they put that in a will? If so, and your name is in it saying that you also own the house, they can't legally kick you out. If you don't owe your family money and don't believe they deserve it, don't give it to them. Use it wisely though. Sorry I wasn't much help. Good luck.

If your parents left you all the house, it could be sold and the money divided among them. I take it that those who don't live there probably would like the house sold so they can get their share now. I definitely wouldn't give them anything since they sound so selfish they wouldn't appreciate it unless they got most of it. Your brother can't put you out of your house legally. If it's a ton of money I would leave and get my own place just to get away
from them. Be strong!

I would tell them that the money is invested and can not be touched for sometime. I suggest if money is that important to them they sell the house your parents left. I was wondering if the money you received was because from the lottery or you got hurt and it is compensation for your pain? If it lottery tell them to start playing and maybe they can get lucky or if it was for pain and suffering then I would tell them that money is for the future care you may need. If all else falls I would move away so they wont hound you.

Move out of the house and away from your bullying siblings. It is your money, and they do not have the right to tell you what to do with it. If you have enough, buy your own house and wisely invest whatever is left over to provide you with an income.

I don't even have a lot of money and my family feels that way. It's your money, you owe them nothing based on being related or winning. If you have debt pay it off and move on with your life. Don't give in to the harrassment or guilt.

Help the greedy out and make a few house payments or what bills need paid so they have their own money to spend and get the hell out.
