There was a Reddit comment about never mentioning winning the lottery because people will look for handouts.
I thought it shouldn't be a big deal because, well, people have wealthy friends and I didn't really think people ask them for money in the West.
Someone said "They abso-fucking-lutely do this lol… literally ask any even mildly wealthy person on the planet and they will tell you how many "friends" they've had who turned out to just be sycophants orbiting them for free shit."
