My sister scooped £61m EuroMillions jackpot but won’t give me a single penny – I found out about her win in the paper
A MAN has revealed his sister scooped £61million in EuroMillions jackpot but has not given him a single penny.
In a turn of fortune, winner Debbie Nuttall has been embroiled in a long-standing family dispute with her estranged brother Glen.
Glen claimed the once-close siblings have not spoken in over two decades following the bitter clash.
Debbie and her husband became millionaires after taking home the life-changing sum on January 30.
The 53-year-old revealed how he found out about her staggering winnings through a newspaper article.
He told The Mirror: “My son messaged me and said, ‘Dad, I know you don’t want to know, but look at this’ and he sent me a snippet from the paper.
“I didn’t know anything about it. I said, ‘Is it a joke?’”
Glen is currently living in a temporary accommodation with his autistic son while on benefits, he claimed.
But he doesn’t expect a penny from his older sister’s huge windfall.
He fumed: “Hang out a begging bowl? Absolutely no way.”
The dad confessed the pair shared a close bond during their childhood.
Glen recalled cherished memories growing up together – including sharing the same bedroom.
He also explained that she cared for him when he faced mental health challenges in his late teens.
However, their relationship soured after a heated argument in their early thirties.
The row led to the siblings to cut all communication between them.
Glen claimed how he spotted his sister at Asda once – but she met him with cold indifference.
He said: “She has totally walked past my little boy and never said a word.”
“Sometimes I think about it and it makes me sad.
“But then I think, ‘I’ve tried with you but you’ve made no effort whatsoever’.”
After Debbie’s split from her first husband, Glen moved back with his dad and drifted apart from his sister.
Despite the family rift, the little brother said he has no ill towards his sister’s staggering wealth.
He said: “I’ve no animosity towards her. I was not jealous or anything like that. I might come across as bitter but I’m really not.”
Debbie’s husband Richard previously revealed they originally thought they had won £2.60, but then received another email telling the pair to check their account.
The couple were enjoying a holiday in Fuerteventura, celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, when they discovered the big win.
The pair claimed they intended to donate a large chunk of their winnings to charity.
They are ambassadors for BK’S HEROES, set up in memory of Debbie’s cousin Ben King after he died of a rare condition, Tubular Interstitial Nephritis and Uveitis, at age 27.
Debbie’s dad John said: “She has a brother but she does not see him.”
Debbie and Richard declined to comment to The Mirror.
It comes as the Debbie’s former husband Paul Ridge, 76, was forced to watch from the sidelines as his ex-wife Debbie Nuttall, 54, claimed the latest EuroMillions jackpot.
Paul, who hasn’t seen his former wife for 30 years, told how he’s been forced to beg for a donation.
The Sun could not immediately find a contact for their representative.
