The full strip is available on INDUCKS, and you should be able to read it if you zoom in (the quality is not the best, but it works!) Aunt Sarah's message reads "Sending you something you had as a boy. We're tired paying storage charges on it! Happy birthday! Sentimentally, aunt Sarah". I'd argue Sarah could still be the McDuck-hating O'Drake sister. The reason she sends the piggy bank to Scrooge is because she doesn't want to pay for the thing anymore.
I agree that there shouldn't be too many people around that are older than Scrooge. I guess you could have characters in their 90s, but not too many. (I very much dislike that Blackheart Beagle has to be around 110 to be alive in "the present" for example.) But there was a theory about Rumpus' mother being much younger than Fergus, so I guess that makes sense. I also agree about Grandma.
I am not aware of any non-McDuck cousins of Scrooge. There aren't any on the Gilles Maurice tree either (except for Rumpus of course).
In Zio Paperone e l'ottuagenaria a pedale (I TL 442-A) it's cited cousin Zenone Anatrone that appear in I CWD 34-A, Anatrone is the italian translation of drake so we can assume that his name can be translated as Zeno O'Drake.
Super interesting stuff. He even looks convincingly like an O'Drake. But wait, in which of the two stories does he appear?
I found this Donald Duck Family Tree illustration. It seems to have been created for and installed at Il Paperino (an ice cream shop) at Shanghai Disneyland. Some of you can figure out if the couple before Grandma Duck is Clinton Coot and wife

No McDuck family tree can be complete without Pokerface McDuck, of course. Donald and Gladstone are both his heirs, you know.
Confused about how ol' Pokerface is related to everyone else? Not to worry! Donald makes it crystal clear with this highly detailed, well-constructed version of the family tree.

Based solely on this hilarious tree, it seems that Pokerface is related to Donald in the same way that Scrooge, Gladstone, Grandma, and Daisy are. I reckon that'd make him Donald's cousin, uncle, grandma, and girlfriend.

Pokerface McDuck really frustrates me. I simply can't find a good place for him on the family tree. Since they're finding heirs to him in the story, he would have died recently, meaning that he's probably from the same generation as Grandma Duck or possibly one older. But there's no logical way for him to be related to both Donald and Gladstone and still have the last name McDuck... Unless he's even older, or super-distantly related...

Eh, I wouldn't sweat it too much if I were you. I say he's just a relative of Scrooge. Gladstone is an heir to him through the same unknown quirk of Duckburg inheritance law that makes him a potential heir for Scrooge, and is no more related to him than Scrooge.

And yet, Scrooge himself is not an heir of Pokerface's!

I guess you could make it work if you believe that Gladstone was adopted by Matilda after his parents died. If you believed that, then you could just make him a brother of Fergus who got to meet his adoptive great-nephew before his death and wrote him into his will. Then again, I've never read the story, so I have no clue if what I said is possible in its context. I'm just saying that there is a way to sort of graft Gladstone into the McDuck family tree.
That said, I think I've read before that in one story there was a McTavish McDuck who was an ancestor of both Scrooge and Gladstone. This would make Scrooge and Gladstone distant cousins, and would mean that one could make Pokerface an individual from the McDuck branch of McTavish's descendants who is, perhaps, more closely related to Gladstone than Scrooge.
