[...]but will you go to the extent of doing a stake out in the lottery office and wait for three months to get the price, have you not think of the risks.
Nothing wrong with their approach. Three months is probably too long to observe but what he did is less risky compared to just going in there without knowing the surroundings.

just because you've won a lot of money in lottery doesn't mean that you're obligated to help out the people that are asking for some of the wins and to share to them your winnings,
You're not obliged but you never really know how people thinks when money is involved. They will hold grudges if you don't give something and who knows what they could be planning to get a piece or maybe the whole pie.
