So, if the ticket was a loser, would he owe her half the cost of the ticket?

£500? Jeez, if he’s smart he’ll split it with her. From that gesture, he’ll be more than paid back.

If this is the only thing that is dividing western society, somehow I think we will be ok.

Same reason I don't give coupons to the "Mustang Ranch" as gifts.

I had a friend who took his girlfriend on a date to a casino. His slot machine won him $15,000. Kn the drive home she said she didn’t know what she was going to do with her half of the money.

He dumped her.

Sometimes it’s just a friend thing. A buddy and I take a road trip every year and we usually hit a casino on the way. If I lose and he wins he shares half of his winnings with me, and vice versa. It’s always just seemed like the right thing to do.

The posted comments say a lot about the warped values of those individuals posting them.

Agree. End the relationship.

Cheap lesson to find out who he really is. She shouldn’t even need to ask. Says a lot about her too.

Imagine the divorce battle down the road that is being avoided.

#8. Did the guy stop the car when he “dumped her” or was it a “Chicago exit”?

Lol. I think it was a day or two later. He said she went apeshit over it.

I agree with all you say - it’s amazing how selfish and ungrateful people can be. If I was in his shoes, my first reaction to winning would have been to offer her half. If I was in her shoes, it never would have entered my mind that I deserved half because I bought the ticket as a gift for him.

Guess he threw her out of the car at the local zoo and she landed in apeshit. Good aim!! Good riddance!

An inexpensive lottery ticket as a gift gives some insight to the gift giver’s character.
