Eccentric uncle Fred lives with you and your family, his winning lottery ticket qualifies him for $6 million prize but he refuses to cash in

.. because his plans call for a minimum $22 million cash prize. How would you deal with eccentric uncle Fred?

    Good idea to try but so long as he has not signed it yet.

      Uncle Fred? Lottery ticket? Why, I don’t know what you’re talking about, Detective. I don’t even have an uncle named Fred, and I bought that lottery ticket myself. Look at my signature on it. Now if there’s nothing else, I’d like to be allowed to leave this little interrogation room and go about my business. Harrumpf!

    I would try to purchase the ticket from him.  Since he does not want it.

    No thanks. 

    How about FREE rent for the rest of your life, Uncle Fred? Just give me the ticket.

    Eccentric uncle Fred: "HOW am I supposed to pay $20,000 a month rent?"

    "Cash in your lottery ticket!"

    Eccentric uncle Fred: "me gawd I never thought of that!"

    ' Finish your soup, Uncle Fred. I made it special for you. I don't think it tastes funny at all.'

    Fred, here’s an ultimatum: You either claim that ticket and start paying rent, or say hello to your new home.


    You can tell your new roommates how $6000000 wasn’t good enough for you.  I’m sure they want to hear all about it!
