![]() After winning the lottery my father was treated like a sage. ![]() Having money didn’t change him, but I noticed it certainly changed those around him. It’s a testament to my father’s Norwegian heritage that he persevered. Not just as his daughter, but as the daughter of a lottery winner. From that moment on my identity became permanently entwined with my father’s. Representatives of charities and churches descended like a plague of locusts. Acquaintances cornered us and shared their financial woes. His saying that caused expectations to rise and relatives oozed out of the woodwork. He mentioned in passing that he was probably going to share it with family. I wish my father had said, “None of your business.” I wish my father had said, “No comment.” I wish he’d had the option of staying anonymous. ![]()
