Mother suing daughter over lottery win

When Linza Ford won $1 million dollars from a scratchcard in November 2012 she decided to share the winnings with her mother, who said she would use the money to pay off her bills and look after Linza's little sister.

However, in 2014 she found out her mother planned on using the money for a facelift, tummy tuck and breast reduction surgery.

The mother and daughter started fighting over the use of the money, so Ford closed the account and moved out.

Linza's mother, Barbara Quiles, says that the lottery winnings were initially hers but she made arrangements for her daughter to claim the money because she was ill.

Now, according to a lawsuit filed in May at the Brooklyn Supreme Court, Quiles is suing her own child over the family's financial disagreement.

If this is all true then lawyers say Quiles could be charged with attempting to cheat the system and not repay the government for ten years of food stamps and disability benefits that she has received.

Quiles already has a prior conviction for welfare fraud from 1989, where she was sentenced to five years probation in order to pay $7,500 in restitution.

According to the New York Post, Quiles said: "I felt like she stabbed me not in the back but right in the heart and twisted the knife,"

Adding: "I'm the one who went out to buy the ticket with my money, I have a lot of witnesses."

The mother and daughter pair will return to court on 22 October to find out what will happen.
