The lottery winning should go to him,let him pay back what he owes to the bank,and everyone else he owes,including attorneys.Since he was that lucky let him have it.It was a blessing for him ,it is my feeling it should not be taken away,perhaps it will make him a better person as a result.maybe it is time to change some laws on the book.
