Dn2002 appeared to have some questions regarding the wife's role in this case.
I think the implication is that the wife and uncle were already together, having an affair before the lottery win and when the uncle found out about the lottery win, a plan involving her crept into his head involving her.
My guess for the second point is that once she found out about it, if she didn't tell, she would become an accessory to the crime, if she didn't report it immediately, before the murder. She would go to jail and probably lose the money.
The interesting thing about this story is that everything is driven by greed. The victim would have still ended up with 15 million dollars or so which is a lot of money, but he wanted the lot. And that ultimately sealed his fate.
