Officials said there were celebration Wednesday at the nursing home and a representative for Rechnitz announced the nurse's win to the media.
However, the joy was short-lived.
"It's a joke. It's a prank...by my brother," the nurse's daughter, Jennifer, told the New York Daily News. "It's embarrassing. This is too much for us."
Rechnitz's representative told KABC-TV he wants to ease the nurse's disappointment from the "despicable" prank by sending her on an all-expenses-paid vacation to the destination of her choice.
