A woman writing on Reddit about a personal dilemma involving a lottery win and a financially desperate brother was deemed "not in the wrong" by the majority of other users on the social media platform who sided with her pragmatic and thoughtful view of the matter.

The post has received 3,600 reactions and some 1,500 comments in less than a day.  

Describing herself as 28 years old, the woman, calling herself "Vedoric," wrote that she "recently won a significant amount of money in the lottery. It wasn’t a jackpot, but it was enough to make a big difference in my life — around $500,000 (pretax)."

She said she's always "been pretty careful with money, and I plan to use it to pay off my student loans, put a down payment on a house and maybe start a small business I've always dreamed of."

Then a family member found out about her winnings — and things got complicated, apparently.

"My brother … found out about my winnings through our parents," she wrote about her 32-year-old brother. 

"He’s been struggling financially for years due to poor money management and some bad luck, and he has a lot of debt."

The brother called her, she went on, "and congratulated me — then immediately asked if I could help him out by giving him $30,000 to pay off his debts and get back on his feet."

The sister wrote that she "sympathized," but "I feel like giving him such a large amount of money won’t really solve his problems in the long term."

She said she's "seen him blow through money before, and I worry that this would just be another cycle."

So she told him, she wrote in her post, that she'd be "willing to help him create a budget plan and even give him a smaller amount, like $5,000, to help with immediate needs, but he got really upset."

She said that "he accused me of being selfish and not caring about family."

The woman added that her parents "are split on the issue. My mom thinks I should help him out because ‘family helps family,’ but my dad agrees that my brother needs to learn to manage his own finances."

She wrote on the platform, "I feel conflicted because I do care about my brother, but I also believe in being responsible with my money and making sure it lasts."

So, she asked others, was she wrong for "not giving my brother a larger portion of my lottery winnings despite his financial struggles?"

Fox News Digital reached out to a psychologist for thoughts on the matter.

A Reddit user, in the top "upvoted" comment on the post, wrote, "It is your money to do with as you wish. After taxes, it will seem to be a lot of money. But do the math [about] your own expenses in your life, and you will realize it won’t last nearly as long as it might seem."

The same writer added, "It’s a good buffer to give [yourself] some room to feel more comfortable taking some risks and pursuing your own life goals. Take advantage of that, protect it, and ignore the noise from others."

Said someone else more bluntly, "Most lottery winners end up bankrupt because they feel like they have to give money to every rat that crawls out of the woodwork."

This same person deemed the original poster not in the wrong for her decisions.

"He [the brother] will blow through any money you give him and be back for more. If you want to help out, buy him a grocery store gift card so he can buy food or gas."

Someone else offered a much more direct piece of advice for this lottery winner and any others in the future.

"Never mention a sudden windfall to anyone."

Riots have broken out across the U.K. in recent days over false rumors spread online that an asylum seeker was responsible for a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event that left three girls dead and others wounded. 

The suspect has been identified as 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, who was born in Wales to Rwandan parents.

Suspects under 18 are typically not named in the U.K., but the judge in the case ordered the suspect to be identified to stop the spread of misinformation. The teen has been charged with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder.

In the days since the stabbing spree, rioters have torched a library, attacked a mosque and thrown flares at a statue of wartime leader Winston Churchill as agitators tap into broader concerns about the scale of immigration in the U.K.

Hundreds of people have been arrested in connection with the disorder and many more are likely as police scour CCTV, social media and body-worn camera footage. However, police have also warned that with widespread security measures in place, with thousands of officers deployed, other crimes may not be investigated fully.

On Sunday, the violence was particularly acute in the north of England town of Rotherham where police struggled to hold back hundreds of rioters who sought to break into a Holiday Inn Express hotel being used as accommodation for asylum seekers. 

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed Sunday afternoon that the authorities will "do whatever it takes to bring these thugs to justice."

"I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves," he said. "This is not a protest. It is organized, violent thuggery, and it has no place on our streets or online."

Starmer deemed anyone targeting people for the color of their skin or their faith to be "far-right."

"People in this country have a right to be safe, and yet we've seen Muslim communities targeted, attacks on mosques, other minority communities singled out, Nazi salutes in the street, attacks on the police, wanton violence alongside racist rhetoric, so no, I won't shy away from calling it what it is: far-right thuggery," he said.

Before bringing the riot under some sort of control, police officers with shields faced a barrage of missiles, including bits of wood, chairs and fire extinguishers. A large bin close to a window of the hotel was also set alight. The small fire was extinguished.

South Yorkshire police, which is responsible for Rotherham, said at least 10 officers have been injured, including one who was left unconscious.

"The behavior we witnessed has been nothing short of disgusting. While it was a smaller number of those in attendance who chose to commit violence and destruction, those who simply stood on and watched remain absolutely complicit in this," said Assistant Chief Constable Lindsey Butterfield. "We have officers working hard, reviewing the considerable online imagery and footage of those involved, and they should expect us to be at their doors very soon."

Tensions were also running high Sunday in the northeastern town of Middlesbrough, where some protesters broke free of a police guard. One group walked through a residential area, smashing the windows of houses and cars.

Hundreds of others clashed with police at the town's cenotaph, throwing bricks, cans and pots at officers.

Many of the demonstrations over the past week were organized online by groups that mobilized support with phrases like "enough is enough," "save our kids" and "stop the boats."

Rallying cries have come from a diffuse group of social media accounts, but a key player in amplifying them is Tommy Robinson, leader of the English Defense League (EDL). The Merseyside police has linked the EDL to the violent protest in Southport on Tuesday, near the scene of the stabbing attack.
