HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Canada (CTV/CNN) - A family feud over a sizable lottery prize looks to be heading to court.
The dispute concerns an alleged agreement the two winners before the draw of the Chase the Ace fundraiser.
Both of their names were on the winning ticket that turned out to be worth more than $1.2 million. Neither were present at the time of the drawing.
"I'm taking him to court, and I'm getting my lawyer tomorrow," Barb Reddick said of her nephew, Tyrone MacInnis.
More than 24 hours after the family feud, Reddick was cashing her check of more than $600,000 and still adamant about taking legal action against her family.
"All three of them, they're dead to me. What they did to me, and I was so good to Tyrone since he was born," Reddick said.
Days earlier, Reddick says she email-transferred MacInnis money and told him to put his name on the lottery ticket for luck. "But it's not Tyrone. He's lying," she said.
Reddick claimed there was never an agreement between the two to split the money if the jackpot was won.
The MacInnis family did not want to comment, only saying they, too, are getting a lawyer.
The Chase the Ace fundraiser is wildly popular. Non-profit groups have raised in some cases more than $1 million for charity.
Meanwhile, Reddick has been a target on social media, with many people calling her greedy, but she says it's not about the money.
"It doesn't matter if the judge gives me the money back or not. He's going to look at the judge and he's going to crumble and the truth is going to come out," Reddick said.
