How often do these letters come. I won in June and my daughter was 18 at the time she got around 7,000 backpay. She gave most of it to us as she was going to college this past fall and knew we needed that money for her books .etc. I now have a 16 year old daughter and a 10 year old that get $500 each per month. My attorney(ALLSUP) told me and my wife that we can take this money out and spend it as we seen fit for bills, and everything else that came up. Do we have to keep track of every penny?
