I do bank deposits for my job dailey. I was in the bank yesterday and when the teller waited on me, she told me the customer that was ahead of me deposited $6,000 worth of winnings she won on a scratch off ticket. It was really $10,000 before taxes. Anyway, it was given to her for a birthday present from her best friend. When her best friend found out she won all that money, she wanted a cut. The birthday lady denied her, and the friend was mad that they aren't speaking to one another. Wow! The lady isn't entitled to give her anything because that was a gift. I guess she expected her to win a buck or something. Me personally, I would have gave the friend a few hundred because if she didn't buy me the scratch off, I wouldn't have won anything. What would you all have done?

I would have given her $1,000. I tend to be overly generous though.

This is a cautionary tale of what money can do to relationships. I never, ever give lottery tickets as gifts. I couldn't handle it if I made someone else rich.

A few years ago, my friend and her husband went to a holiday party. It had something to do with their kids sports, so they weren't personal friends with the other guests. Every couple had to bring a $10 dollar gift for a present swap. One couple brought a $10 scratch ticket. The couple who got this gift hit for a million dollars.

I'd be in a rubber room if I gave someone a winning ticket for a million dollars.

i'd tell the bitch off, she doesnt deserve anything

That was deep, Georgia! Ha Ha!

I would have given her a little something. Technically she wasn't entitled to anything because it was a gift but I wouldn't want to lose a friendship over a few thousand bucks and if she could have rerally used the money I would have been happy to share it with her.

Well said. I would have given her some money.

i know, i dont know how i do it.

I wouldn't give her jack***. She gave it as a gift, if she didn't want her to win any money she shouldn't have given her a lottery ticket in the first place. What, if she would have bought her a new dress would she say, "here's your present, but can I wear it on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays?"! There used to be a name for people like that... Indian giver... is what they would call her.

:nod:

I would have given her something without her asking that's what a good friend would have done.

This post has just reaffirmed why i do not give scratchies to friends for their birthday ;) If i had won the money though,I'd give my friend about $1,000.Its only fair,I reckon.

Well sure, I would have given her something if she hadn't demanded a cut of it. But she's not much of a friend if she drops you because you won't give her some money.

If I were the winner, I'd probably give a couple hundred to the person who gave it to me. If I were on the other side of it, there's no way in hell I'd ask for a cut of the winnings.

Yeah, I'd be happy for them if they won...but I'd be just sick to my stomach thinking all that dough could have been mine.

i'd tell the bitch off, she doesnt deserve anythingI dunbo what I would do...... Its hard for me to be mean to people..... I would probably give her $2000 :)
