lottery winner
I am 42,male, my brother is 50 married with one son.
My brother recently(9 months ago) won £4.5 million UK pounds on the lottery. My Question is this, he sent me a copy of him receiving the cheque and that is it, I considered us to be pretty close prior to his win, but all i feel now is bitterness, not jealousy, which i can imagine people would say i am. just bitter, i always said and still maintain that i would help my family out if such a windfall should fall on me, am i wrong to feel this emotion or should i be angry, I am really struggling with this so constructive answers would, i hope help me to come to terms with this,

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
he sent you a copy of the check..no offense..but that was a real cruddy thing to do.
I would be angry too..but do not expect anything from him
Any family member that SMALL in thinking is going to keep every pound for himself.
Good news..most lottery winners spend themsleves into debt in a year...
Get your anger out...be a better person and realized your sibling is not.

Its normal to feel bad when other people don't act the way that you would. You have to remember that he is different from you, although you were brought up under the same roof.
Try not to let the money come between you and your brother. Maybe if you didn't distance your self, you would feel better about what is going on. Money doesn't necessarily make you happy or keep you company. Feel good in the fact that you won't have to take care of your brother for a long while.
Do you really need to be "helped out?" I wouldn't be so quick to beg for a favor until you really needed it. Living simply is not necessarily a bad thing.

I can understand where that emotion is coming from enitirely. It's hard when you get the short end of the stick. And, as I am definetly not the lucky one, I can relate big time. I think though that you should try your best to be happy for your brother. It is hard, but everyone gets that moment once. He got lucky. You will too someday, maybe not in the same sense, but just think about it. You know that there have been times when you got better then your brother, and there still will be. WOuld you like it if you brother thought of you as you do of him now.
Lots of Luck, (literally)

Yes. But he is your brother not your wife so just remember that its not yours too its his and if he wants to share it he can. Just be happy for him and his win.
