Based on the situation of this couple, regardless of them being split soon after the winning, I think the best thing to do here is to cut the prize into half so that tensions between the two parties will de-escalate and avoid any confrontation or emotional turmoil and stress that sometimes end up so badly on both of them. Ego clash won't bear good results that is why we need to keep ourselves calm and fair with others especially in a situation like this.

Have you ever tried something like this situation before?
So what is your thoughts on this, 50/50 good for you or nah?
Will you insist to have an ego battle if you are on the same situation?
If your answer is yes then Why?
And if no then why not?
What are the things you would do to resolve the issue?
How do you think you can handle this kind of situation?

No evidence that the man is telling the truth. No evidence also that the woman is telling the truth.  But that woman has the legal right to the money won.

If truly the man, Michael Cartlidge sent the money to Charlotte Cox (his girlfriend) that was used to win the huge amount of money. The man will feel cheated and will prefer lawsuit. That is the right thing to do.

-No
-You would understand if legally married but if its still dating or in relationship then i dont see for having that 50-50.
-Depends, because if love would prevail then for sure you would really be having that kind of giving way or having that understanding towards her.  :'(
-Money is money, greed is always been top priority
-You do love her of course and doesnt like on making more arguments about money
-50-50 to stop it completely i should say, no hurt feeling
-If ever won up some jackpot then it would be better on this way.

Funny enough where they together because they dont have money. Now they have won a jackpot they now see each other flaws and tend to go find a better partner for themselves. IMO, they are meant for each other they should just see it that way, that if they are together they will win more jackpot with their luck.

Also when splitting the money i support you that it should be done equally. There shouldn't be no hierarchy there. So that peace will remain and everyone  will leave happily. I believe it is a very big sum of money that would be enough for them

Yep, it's somewhat humorous that they came together when they had no money, and now that they are rich, they begin to see each other's shortcomings and want to find a better partner.

I agree that it should be divided equally between both of them. An equal division will help maintain peace and ensure that both have the opportunity to enjoy their new lives to the fullest. With such a large amount of money, they can comfortably carry out their plans and enjoy a prosperous life. Indeed, this is one of the situations that I have not been exposed too much but can understand conflicts in romantic relationships (there are too many complications inside) and even if it is not related to money, but still affter all, these are different shades of life and perhaps they also have a peaceful resolution.

actually for me they are not couple but just a dating , 3 months dating is not considered
as couple (at least for me) so there are not to be called splitting , maybe they have realized that
they will not be for each other just because they cannot go along with Money.

Who made the bet? I mean who is the owner of the money ? because for sure this
owned by one and not them both as they are only in dating.


50/50 is depend on what they will be agreeing but for me better to have equally and go on their way.

I think this is a very bad decision if they split because they won the desktop while if they already had problems before as a couple it is a right decision.Now if they really split because of the jackpot win they have made a really bad choice as with that amount they could have opted to start a new business like a small coffee shop,some sort of flowers shop or any other such business while the other remaining amount to have split equally in their bank accounts.

I can relate to this, the kind of situation where money is the main topic, and you know that you won't agree. It can add strain to a relationship, the idea of splitting the prize money evenly seems fair and practical. It could help diffuse tensions and avoid unnecessary conflicts, a fair and amicable resolution is needed to prevent a messy fallout. In a situation like this, it's essential to prioritize communication and fairness. If I were in such a position, I would strive for an open and honest conversation with my partner to understand her perspective and concerns. Finding a compromise and working towards a solution that benefits both parties is the key to resolving the issue peacefully.

Thats the main issue and this do really shows off that money could change everything. There are people who doesnt cherish out someones importance rather than on focusing into the current money that you do have in front but well people do really changed and its rare that someone who would really be sticking with you in the end of time or would really be lasting longer. Usually these kind of splits do really pertain about
argumentation when it comes to the allocation or partition on that winning on which we know that the ones who do have the right is the one who had make use of their money to make up such bets.
If it been that you are the one who had been tasked out to make up some bets then i dont see or having the confidence on taking up some demand on getting some huge share even if it means that you
are in relationship to each other.

From the article, everything was going fine until perhaps someone talk to the girlfriend and everything changed. I'm not a lawyer to ascertain what is the best thing to do about this situation but from the angle of morality, I think the lady is being too greedy because the man suggested they buy the ticket, would have paid for it but he didn't go with his card, then he opted to transfer the funds to the partner which network denied them. The only input of the lady was using her card to pay of which she was to be refunded. Without the external interference, they would have proceeded with their initial plan of buying a house and a car for the lady. 50/50 is a fair deal for her only if the greed in her will allow it. I guess this is a good lesson for gamblers on the need to maintain privacy and confidentiality. I believe that gambling is an individual thing, and should be done independently to avoid situations like this.

It's two parties we are talking about here,and a tendency that they have come this far to achieve such win is a privilege to say they both deserve the big win and have worked inmensely for it but then,they splitting after that is something to have a deep thoughts about.
Probably they both have an inner secret and they feel splitting apart in cause of the win will make them achieve that aim, it's not about having greed or any of that or maybe they both agreed on this,that after the big win they split.

Moreso if then you say they are married,and splitting after this,yes most couple's can still quit being together for one reason or the other but if they have something like this that they have both worked for it's not advice one collect more than the other but I'll rather sit them down and ask the bone of contention for making them take such decisions,I'll hear from both parties tho.and when I do so I'll look for a way to advise both cause with them together they can attain more big wins and achievement.

If I were in the situation, I would have agreed to a 50/50 split because you both won the money, and then for us to be fair before we completely separate or lose communication with each other, settle the half payments to both parties. Depending on the behavior and ego of the couple, there are few who will fight for sure to get the full amount for some reason, but some partners know how to let go but then again, like I've said, it depends to a person, since money is involve, Everyone is going to fight for their rights. The couple has been dating for three months now, so it's probably not that deep in the relationship, so it's okay to split 50-50 in money.

Whether the man transferred money to her to pay for the ticket is immaterial. The company will only recognize the person who paid for the ticket and has the ticket and how the money was generated is not the concern of the company. It is left for his girlfriend to share the money with her boyfriend because first he initiated the idea that they should buy a lottery ticket and secondly he also transferred the money to her for the purchase. With this effort, it will be unfair if his girlfriend takes possession of everything. The man has no legal right to the money because he is not recognized by the contract entered between his girlfriend and the lottery company and so any claim to get a part of the money will fail. However, his girlfriend should consider sharing the money with his boyfriend on the grounds of good conscience, reasoning and justice.

But why should money bring division instead of strengthening the relationship? The woman`s sudden change of attitude shows that she was living at the mercy of the man`s funds. Suddenly she hit the lottery and pushed for separation. Love didn’t bind her but what the man had been offering. To her, the man has nothing to offer anymore because has has money to cater for herself now.

Damn, what a story. This is my first time hearing something like this, not to mention both accounts contradict each other. I think a legal battle will be difficult for the man if the name on the winning card is the woman, so it will be a lost cause if he fights for it. Maybe a legal expert can shed on this. I think this is why he said he should get some from a moral standpoint. I dunno, sounds like he will get nothing from this other than trying to ruin her reputation, which is probably a fair deal for her if it makes her own more than $1 million.

There are many couples today that get married after two months of dating, so even if they are just dating and not married yet it changes nothing, let's just pretend that they are married, what happened will still happen between them, many homes are broken because of money, when you don't relax very well before jumping into a marriage anything is bound to happen.

I have seen more marriages collapsed because they don't get to know each other every well before the get married, few even lead to murder cases, I am not saying that those who have been dating for more than two years don't end up breaking up too, it happens, even those who have dated for over 5 years still break up, but the majority that happened here are those who dated for very short period of time and get married.

Some people are so good at hiding, you will never know the true them until several years later, you don't know what a fellow being can turn into once money is involved, you just can't predict how they will react, only God knows what truly happened between these two, and now the woman have the right to some percentage of the money, if they are legally married I believe, correct me if I am wrong.

I believe that who gave the money isn't the winner here, because the partner might have decide to spent the money on drinks and waste the money away, the winner is the person who bought the ticket, it's like borrowing some money from you and I immediately went into a casino and I won the jackpot, will you claim that since because the money I use to placed the bet was yours makes you the winner? No way,  I took the risk, I only owe you want I lend from you, but people will always be people, that feeling of entitlement, sigh!

No. This is money. It is not about reputation or whatever you call it. If the man sent the money to the woman and if true the money is from the man, the man would feel pains if the woman do not want to give him part of the money. I guess the woman wants to take all the money and do not want the man to take any. We know life, humans are humans and they can do something stupid and they can lie.

The woman will definitely be given the money. The man is stupid is what I think but it may be true that he did not take his card along to gamble which can happy to anyone and trust his girlfriend. This teaches people a lesson. It can not happen to me because in my mind I will know that my girlfriend is the owner of the money if won.

Greed and lack of love, is what has led to them having a big win and chose to separate, without both of them benefiting from the win. €1M is a big amount of money that the lady can give her ex-boyfriend some share. If he claims 50-50,i will not agree with that because his name was not what was on the ticket, and someone somewhere has turned her mind against him.

However, if it was true that the guy was the one that told her to buy the scratch tickets, and she paid for it, then she should also give him a percentage of the money because without him insisting, she might not have bought those tickets. It is painful that money can make your best friend become your enemy. 60-40, or 70-30 will be nice.

It depends on what had actually caused them to split in first place. Before they had won, they were both couple so don't you think it's obvious that the jackpot could have been a reason for the split. If the couple both have different opinions on what should be done with the funds then it probably might ignite a disagreement between them. I can't say for sure if that's the cause but in when it comes to situations like this, there's a chance that it's what had caused the split.
Well from my opinion, if both couple had worked towards the jackpot them it should be split equally so as to avoid unnecessary attentions like it is now. But if the man or the woman individually made the win with little assistance from either then it should be a fair share.

Makes sense. I think the couple have their reasons. Money talks can be tricky in a relationship. Splitting the prize evenly seems like a fair move to avoid unnecessary drama but communication is important too. If I were in that spot, I'd just have an honest chat with my partner, hear them out and try to find a compromise that works for both of us. The goal is to dodge unnecessary conflicts and keep the relationship on a positive track, if it didnt then it didnt

Money might really be the root of all evil. It even can split apart a couple. But to be fair, we really do not know their personal home situation. Maybe they were already on bad terms and this extremely large win just served as the "last straw". Who knows? And to be honest, 3 months? Thats basically still being strangers. From my perspective that is too soon to be called a couple and obviously strangers will argue over money.

In this particular case, I would not say that its her money just because she bought the ticket for him. The ticket was a gift, therefore it was in his ownership, not hers. But almost 2 million is enough to share. 50/50 is the most moral thing to do.

If I get it right - guy has bought a lottery ticket with his chicks money and won? And it was her initiative to split after? Lol, throw 50 pounds into that greedy toad face and leave. If her only argument is that lottery ticket was bought with her money, then I suggest that guy to count money he has spend on her and take that million as a compensation for missed opportunity.

"they took a trip to the seaside to celebrate with fish and chips" <- that is so nice :D
I am gonna help 0t3p0t and to get more attention to this topic and story, I am gonna post this:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Fish_and_chips_blackpool.jpg/800px-Fish_and_chips_blackpool.jpg

If they are married then nothing to discuss here since unless they sign a prenup before the wedding. All the money they earn including gambling is already under conjugal property which means they need to split the all properties and money evenly for both parties.

It’s sad that their relationship ended this way while they were supposed to be happy than before because they are already rich. They are dumb if they will bring this to court battle while they knew what will happened. It’s just a waste of money and time to argue on money that was destined to split equally due to the law.

Normally the approach of a man to financial issues as this is definitely far different from the way a woman may want to handle it because they always will want to bring in their feminine advantage rather than leaving it at a rational levels where they can both resolve the issues by having either equal share or by percentage based on the contribution both parties brought to making such happen. If the man was the sole initiator of the game and he stakes his money aswell and she was there and is benefiting just as his pattern then I think the man is at liberty to give to her as he wishes because if he had lost he would have bore it all alone.

If the woman funded him to play the game they they should come to an agreement and share in percentages and everyone will be fine rather than trying to getting all the funds to a single person and undermining the efforts of the other.

Money sometimes does these "shenanigans" lol

If she hadn't hit the lottery, they would certainly still be together, this is more of a moral issue, she didn't have enough feelings to want to have an honest relationship with him, now the question remains, if he had won, would he share it with she?

It's a he said, she said argument here, we really don't know who is telling the truth here. We only heard one side of the story, but yeah, I guess it's like a curse for the two as they are in love when they don't have the money. Now, they are separated when they have $1 million and they can go have their own home and have a bright future as husband and wife. But it's totally ruined now and maybe the magistrate is the one who will decide if it's going to be 50/50 split or if the man will get nothing of the jackpot. It will be a double whammy for him though, he lost the girl and then he didn't get half of the money.

I think the biggest misconception about breaking up is that if we were together life would have dawned happily ever after. Just as money does good too much money does bad. If they could not have won a large amount in the lottery, then it would not have been the reason for the separation in their married life. These two may think that they have a lot of money and can do anything with money now. The lottery that brought curses to their lives.

The man is in a harsh situation to claim part of the prize, because the tickets were paid through the woman's banking account. Moreover they weren't married, rather just a couple of boyfriend and girlfriend, what makes even harder for him to get part of the prize.

And even though it's morally wrong to not split the prize in two, besides the man having deposited tickets' money to the woman's banking account right after, I fear it won't mean too much towards the court, anyway.

That is a very sad story which revealed the wicked nature of the woman. People aren't only extremely individualistic and treating their pairs as disposable, but also being egoistical and dishonered. It's the woman's right to not desire keeping the relationship, but it would be reasonable and fair to give the man 50% of the prize. A decent human being would act like that.

All lotteries around the world have ruling in case there is a dispute on the ticket , it is clearly stated that

So whatever agreement they have about the winning it should be on paper and the holder of the tickets gets to decide whom she will share his prize on this case it looks like they do not have a very strong relationship that when an issue like this comes up they have a disagreement the man has a case because the money that was used to purchase the ticket comes from his pocket but she can claim that the money was a loan for her to buy the ticket.

I don't think it will stand in any court where the lender of the money that was used to purchase for the winning ticket has the right to the winning ticket.
if the court will rule in his favor then any employer will ask his employee that won millions in a lottery to share his winning because the money comes from his
pocket, the rule is who bought the ticket whose name is written in the back deserves the prize regardless of where the money comes from.

There was similar scenario that made headline where a man give his friend a set of numbers to bet and it happens that the winning set of number hit the jackpot, and the giver is asking a 50% share, the court denied his claim because, the winner is the one who decided to bought the ticket, his name was behind the back of the ticket, regardless if there 's someone who gave the winning numbers.

Wow! That's a long read. :D

Money. Damn it! It can really make people change. The sudden decision of the woman to kick the guy out is a signal that greed is coming. The guy expected it to happen and it did. Well, he was wise enough to bring the scratch card with him but that is where it all started to become a problem for those who will give the prize money.

There is only one solution here and it's written at the finale of the story.
The woman will claim the prize money as I doubt he will let the man put his name on the back of the scratchcard but before that happens if the woman is willing to share a part of it, an agreement should be made in front of an attorney so that it will be legal and on paper. That way the man can be assured that he will get the share and if ever the woman won't comply then legal actions will be made and that paper will be a strong proof for her denial to share it.
After the amount is given another paper should be legalized that she already gave the money.

From a good relationship to a broken one. This is a damn mess. Love versus money.

There are many couples like them, it's like not having money is what keeps them together, like this was how things was supposed to be, but when money comes it will divide them for different reasons, greed, jealousy, etc.

I don't like coming between a couple, don't even try to find who is faulty because you will never know, it can be the man himself or the woman, lack of evidence have buried many cases like this in the past.

Kudos to those getting married today, it's risky, even if you believe that you know them very well, trust me, you don't, be prayerful and hope for the best, the youngsters of nowadays are smarter, many of them choose not to get married, and the reasons are valid points, you need lots of luck to meet the right person for you.

Money can change everything and its not a new thing anymore on this world. People do get blinded with greed without minding about other peoples importance and the love and bond that they had made
on, on the time that they dont have money and now that they have won something big,then they have decided to split out?  Money over feelings/love. This isnt shocking into this society nowadays.
Just like on what said above that this wont really be an issue if they are married since its a conjugal then it would be a 50% split out but since they arent still legally married then they could really
be able to make those kind of claims that they should really be getting more. This would really be resulting into that huge and long argument specially if we do speak about money.

They are not married, the woman bought the ticket her name was on the ticket so she has the right to the winning prize and the lottery is correct in giving him the money, morally the man should have a share of the ticket, but since she exposed herself as a greedy woman the man should dump her, her greediness was expose saving the man from misery if ever she married that woman.
People change when they suddenly get hold of a large amount it is called sudden wealth syndrome and create a topic about this subject here

Sudden Wealth Syndrome (SWS) In Gambling (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462717.msg62672517#msg62672517)

The winnings are large enough, that it is enough for both, even if they split it in half, each would receive almost a million dollars. It seems to me that everything is very simple here, if it was a husband and wife, then they will divide all the property in half, if it was a guy with girl and they were not married, it is obvious the person who purchased the winning ticket can take the money. If they played together, then it would also be fair to share everything to be damaged, but everything will depend on them and on the situation, all people are different.

with the kind of youth we have now, three months of dating is not enough for most people to manage issues like this and if care is not taken, most persons will be up in a similar situation as this if they find themselves in this condition.

Would I part ways with my current partner if I win such amount of money?  It certainly depends on her reaction to the money we've won and if she start making extravagant oland that will make us spend all the money out in no time, I will definitely cut off from her cause it's a sure sign that if we have greater wins in the future, she wouldn't be able to manage it.

I know 3 months isn't long enough to fully trust someone even if it's your partner, or know whether you two will be together till the end. But it's just funny how a person can easily change because of money. Out of nowhere, you want to leave the person just because u won a huge amount of money in your name. Legally, she has the right to the prize since it's her name but if the guy is saying the truth that would definitely be unfair, and the girl is pure selfish.
I would understand if she's alone when she bought the ticket and the guy has no engagement during the buying of the ticket. But since they were together when they bought it, it's unfair especially that since you got the jackpot prize, you'll leave the other person alone... If both parties will continue being greedy and selfish, it could lead to a more problem. Their names and picture are being publicized so it can endanger them. Also, it could bring grudge to each other especially it involves huge money, you wouldn't expect what a person can do for money.

You really never know the person until you marry him/her and you live under one roof, if they love each other there's no issue at all they will share the money because they will eventually marry, but it seems the woman loves for the money is stronger than her love to the man.

Since the woman's name is on the ticket and the lottery honored her as the winner, based on their terms the man can't do anything but if the woman is righteous he should give a share of the winning, it may not be half of the money.
It's going to be a long court battle if they want to settle this on the court it's better that one who they both respect do an intervention and settle it between themselves.

True, it should have been a happy situation for the couple to hit the big jackpot and not the other way around, and as you said it would make sense if behind the scenes they had personal problems outside of the jackpot winnings, I mean maybe they had personal problems that required them to separate and maybe this situation coincided with the time they hit the big jackpot so that people assume that their separation happened because both of them were greedy people who did not want to share the proceeds of their winnings.

But if what people predicted is true, or that means they split up just because of the money problem from the jackpot winnings then of course the separation is a decision that they should not take, if indeed the problem is like this then I am sure that the money at stake is the money of one of them which in the end when it turns out that the results win one of the couples does not want to share the results of his victory with his partner so that maybe there is a fight where one of them does not want to share his winnings and one of them claims that with the existence of a dating relationship then it means that the victory is shared. On the other hand, they should be more mature in their thinking, because of course it should be a happy situation where they can build a small business as you said or maybe hold an event like an engagement to make their relationship more serious.

I was wondering if they are truly in love with each other because if they do, money can not separate both of them just like that. This is why it is advised you marry who you Love so that nothing can come in between you and your partner no matter what happens, there would always be a peaceful resolve amongst both partners as long as they love each other.

This victory should be a thing worth the celebration for the couple's as far as it is concerned with victory. This should be a thing of joy for both of them as the money involved is worth it. In my country, that amount of money is so much big that you can live a luxurious life with investment scattered throughout while you relax and make your money as an your investment does the work for you. This should have been a merry moment for this coup but it has gone south for them.

Possibly, what must have caused this issue is as a result of one's input being bigger than the other which they might likely be having misunderstanding in the sharing formula and as such resulted to their splitting but that aside, there are possibly some issues which they must have been going through and have failed to address it properly before the win. Sometimes things just happens this way and both of them should accept it in fate and move on as they are likely not meant for each other.

Never been is such situation but I wish LOL

From the article, we don't really know who is telling the truth. So I think a 50/50 reward portion for each would totally depend on what actually happened -- if it was mutually agreed the ticket is shared and all the other nuances on their relationship that the article don't cover -- ngl, 3 months is pretty short. I wouldn't wanna point fingers without actually knowing these.

In any case, it def appears the woman is likely to win the case legally and it is safe to say 1.9 million dollars is an amount most people would fight for in a heatbeat.

If that is happen to me and we must separate, we will split the jackpot into two parts. One for me and the other is for her. 50/50 sounds good for us so we can continue our lives and not complain about the jackpot because each of us have the same amounts of the money that we won. I don't have to have an ego battle because that is not worth as both of us wants to separate and split the jackpot so we can enjoy the jackpot and maybe find the others and gets married. Nothing to resolve if both of us really want separate after we won the jackpot and I guess some couple will do the same if they don't have any problem out of this case.

It depends on both of us because if we really want to separate after we have the money from the jackpot, we can do that without thinking anything as that will be our final decision. We ended our relationships on good term because we don't want one of us hurt or we no longer have compatibility in our relationship and we must ended that. After all, three months together is enough for us to know and learn each other and if we don't find something that can't take us to the wedding, we don't have to continue our relationships.

Depends really in the case, we might not know the whole story.
However, if perhaps only one of them insidted the bet, and that same person is the one to do the 'whole' thing, then definitely he earned that jackpot and it depends on him whether to share it with his partner. And if the only thing that associates the 'split' is them being a couple then that won't be fair especially if they aren't married yet.

Another side is both of them engaging the bet, sharing the mount they bet, and being "whole" to make that bet, then they should be splitting the amount.

Last angle is with whom the bet is named after, tit will be the only one acknowledged by the laws and regulations.

I hope they won't be in conflict because of this. Money is indeed important but relationship should matter more 'coz even without the jackpot they were together already. Any amount could be earned and that is why we should not let greed take over us.

I never really know the whole story, and for all we know he could be telling lies, or she could be avoiding the truth. Anyhow, knowing they don't have conjugal responsibilities to each other, they should have went for the 50/50 split before actually leaving each other. Imagine winning that kind of amount, only to pay taxes and legal fees afterwards just because one is greedy enough to take it all instead of splitting the bill evenly. That's a clean $950k for each of them if they just went for the split, no lawsuits or publicity of their names involved!

Accoriding to the article shared by OP.


They are not married, so there's no conjugal properly. And they are just dating for 3 months, so that's a short period of time to create a bond in the relationship. I think the guy trying to force his right to get the half of the winning, he said "morally",but if it's the law that will be followed, whoever paid fo for the winning ticket should have the right of the winning, and it was the woman.

I'm not an expert on law by any means. The CCTV footage is already there and can be backed up by the staff that accepted the payment. They can also verify the payment on the app. His lawyer's main job is to argue that she wouldn't have bought the winning lottery ticket without his money. If they can establish that then I think there's a good chance that he'll get compensated too.

It is difficult to think what could have happened to people with money and both the woman and the man can have many things to do and do according to their needs, it could be that there has been a misunderstanding between the two and for that reason it is They separated, and well that's not good, maybe the woman wanted one thing and the other, maybe that's what happened or that some of them felt that they had to have more money than the other for some reason, those types of problems causes separations.

And since right now in this world no one cares about anything from anyone, it was better to appreciate who on their side with money and so each one does their project, they will see if they spend it, if they invest it, but that is delicate, the money can be capable of uniting and separating people, that is what has currently been experienced, people already look for each other for love, people sometimes look for each other only for interest, it is unfortunate but when there is no money involved, things are like that.

When it comes to money then there is no emotional connection should be made, whoever who the amount should keep the money for themselves but if they bought the ticket together then only 50/50 is the right choice.

Legally even if mentioned has won then he is supposed to split the half to his partner but it's only applicable when they are married and seeking divorce.

Sometimes you wouldn't have known the extent to how far you can go in making decision except money is involved, that alone will tell more about your hidden personalities, these guys you mentioned are just friends to me, since they are only dating for three months and not for years, they aren't married, i believe three month is too small for us to get used to each other, but this occurrence could just serve as an eye open er for them both that you can't trust people with money.

If wining big will cause a seperation amongst the both party, then am afraid both are just into relationship and not yet married. Because I don't see a tangible reason while the wining will bring such arguments of even leading to separation. It is obvious that both are not married because it is a relationship where there is no love that partners will think of seperation if the money is no Sheard 50/50. In any relationship love should be the top most priority and not the other way round.

In conclusion to this I can not seperate from my spouse due to financial misunderstanding because it is a sign of immaturity. But if my partner insist on it I will be with her and shear it 50/50 but there will be a boundary to an extent of financial issues.

Both of them have the right of that money but they use their anger and greed and that's the reason why they separate after that win. Anyways that's a bad thing cause they are couple why not they treat it as a gift and start a good begining such as build a business that can roll Their Money.  But for me I think there's a big reason why they got separated maybe they don't have a good vibes ij a past few months or even years maybe they have misunderstanding or else they have a plan already neither they will win or not they will broke up.

It's not that surprising, 3 months isn't a lot of time to know someone after all, they both didn't know that they wouldn't be able to stand each other if they've got so much money or they just finally thought that they've got more option more than ever because they've got more money. Relationship is like building Rome, it's not built in a day so it takes patience and understanding and consideration to build an everlasting one, it seems that they both don't have that so they end up splitting or they might've been other reasons why they've split up and it just coincided with the win.

I'm always very careful when I place my bets because I don't talk to anyone and I don't place bets around people, this is because a person's casino account is something private that should not be shared with anyone and the casino rules are very clear about That is, they pay that account when it earns and they are assuming that the owner of that account provided true data and is using the account himself and not anyone else and anyone who buys that account may have problems in the future, I have seen people trying to buy VIP casino accounts and I told them that it was very wrong, unethical and that they could harm themselves by doing so. By this I mean that in the case of this couple, the woman is right and any judge will find her right.

Even in my country the rules for lottery tickets are very clear, the person who buys it, enters their name and address and all other data such as ID number becomes the owner of the ticket and only the owner of the winning ticket can claim it when they want to redeem it. the money. people agree with these rules and even if this guy went to court, he would lose, I don't know why they would have to split 50/50 of the amount won, it doesn't make any sense, they are not married in community property, she is the one who paid the ticket, she put her details on the ticket, so legally the ticket and the prize belong to her. now it would be up to her to give something to him, but as they are not even married, they are just boyfriends, I think it is unnecessary for her to do that

Best things you are going to do.

Receive the money anonymously and live as usual, It a girlfriend, not a marriage. You will don't have 50/50 split, just work as usual and use money as wise you can perhaps maybe you can invested to some mortgage or something like that.

Even you are not a people who don't know how to invest, just deposit your money and get interest from the bank. At least you can get one year income money without needed to work at all.

If that is true, I can only say one thing: money really does something different; it really changes the behavior of people or gamblers. The winning amount is quite large; in fact, it is not a small amount. It's easy to tell stories now as if I didn't see any evidence.

I'm not sure if my understanding of what I read in that article is correct. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. But anyway, so that there's no trouble, it's just a split so that there's nothing else to talk about, because if someone calms down, the greediness will actually come out.

50-50 should be fair, but someone must be influence the girl/Charlotte to take everything due to the legality who bought the ticket.


The new owner probably doing that to prevent any lawsuit from the girl side, which is understandable.
I feel bad for Michael, Im afraid he wont get anything from it and even if he win and get the half of the money = he must spend most of it for the lawyers.

This wouldn't have been an issue if there was love and mutual understanding devoid of greed between the couple. Legally, the money belongs to the woman because she made the payment, her name appears on the scratchcard and the lottery company recognises her as the sole beneficiary of the lottery, especially considering the fact that they are not married yet. It is only morally right for her to split the money between her and her partner who initiated the idea of purchasing scratchcards. A 50/50 split is a fair deal, would she have claimed sole ownership of the money if the man's bank network actually allowed him make payments himself? If the man can get good lawyers, he has a chance of getting a share of the money.

---

These are some of the reasons most people prefer to be solo gamblers, they gamble alone and enjoy the benefit alone without any money sharing issue. Those who were initially not interested in the gamble will suddenly become entitled once it turns out that the outcome of the gamble is a win.

Problem is not knowing the whole story. It could be unfair to the winner especially if they aren't married, and if the partner doesn't even know how the other one won. This includes if he/she contributed something  to get the win or even with the process of placing the bet. Let us all be fair because not all people would do the same thing to us, if you were with the winner's shoes. For sure there could be a tension between them and that saddens the situation. Imagine ruining the relationship because of money. Not to be a hypocrite; money is almost everything but you cannot buy a genuine relationship no matter how much you have. However, would it still be genuine if for the same reason the partner's attitude will change? Like with many people here, I also wish that they could talk it out

But if I were the winner and my partner just happened to know I won and didn't help me from the start, I'd just give her a portion of it. If she has better plans and we're happened to be married, I'd be fine allowing her to hold every amount of the prize. Given that she's my partner for sure I would know her more than anyone else and I won't come to a point of giving her the rights over my money if she won't properly make use of every bit of it.

I've never tried sharing a bet with someone before, and I wouldn't let it happen. Splitting the jackpot would be the best case for both sides, but it's understandable why it only went to one person.

I'd let it go instead of having a confrontation where it won't change the situation, knowing she owns the ticket. My way of fixing the issue is to give the guy a smaller chunk of the jackpot and call it a day since splitting the money is already out of the picture.

This are not couples, but boyfriend and girlfriend. This has just justify that some ladies aren't in relationship because they want to or they are dear because of love, they are their to find a man that can help them offset bills, you can see that everything change immediately as soon as she won the money, she is no longer interested in the guy or the relationship again, this is to tell you that ladies are only loyal to their feelings and not any man sacrifices. If it was the guy that is in her position, he might want to give her some share but she is not ready to give anything, very selfish set of human.


I have never been in this kind of situation but even if am, it's very logic to say that to share together. If you aren't ready for this kind of situation, it's better you do it independently like your phone to avoid this embracement. If I am the guy, I might as well as free her and let her go instead of been a sensational headline for media to spread around my picture about my girlfriend and I running to share money. ;D

wow $1.9 million is of course quite a fantastic value for a win, I think they are lucky enough to be able to win such a big prize but unfortunately they are not lucky in romantic relationships, we don't know what the reason is for them but I think the relationship is just new ( 3 months), of course it's not a relationship worth regretting even if they separate, so far both parties claim the money is completely theirs and I think if both of them continue to insist then maybe the court will be the solution but from the news I read, both parties also have strong evidence to be able to bring each other down, I quite agree with what the admin said, because it's better for both of them to be able to share the prize fairly so  that way neither party feels bad and of course even though they part later of course they will still be friends, BTW, with the excitement of the news about their victory, wouldn't that also be able to trigger other people to act evilly towards them?, because with that much money it would of course be able to provoke criminals to blackmail them or rob them.

Well, it shows that money is something which can break the relations (i guess the reason for this break of relation was the split of money between them).
How often we see this is that people want to grab hold of money, which should have been split between the two parties. Here we can see that one party is claiming to the real owner of this winning amount only because she had used her bank account to purchase the tickets  ???




Well, the answer to this question is not simple. If the both partners have a mutual understanding between them and they favour each other, they will never fight for money in the first place. They will agree to settle the money between them. But if one of the partners wants to get hold of the money, then I am afraid they will reach to a dead end and eventually their relationship will end. Also if there is no agreement between the two, such cases may be settled by the court of law.

If you are married and win a load of money and 1 decides they want to split, then that person didn't really love the other IMO. Regardless of the why, if you are married then its 50/50 period. If you are not married is when it becomes complicated.

Marriage is basically a contract between 2 people. Without a prenuptial agreement it should be simple. There are greedy folks out there though and they could decide to make it ugly and go through a long court process.

I mean if they bought the ticket evenly, then they certainly should be splitting the prize amount.  Thankfully for him they aren't married as at least here in the United States divorce tends to be VERY costly for the men. 

I use to do work lotto tickets where anywhere from 10-20 people would throw in for tickets to give ourselves a better chance.  I use to sit and daydream how great it would be if we won, but the splitting the money aspect is a bit rough!

When you have officially become husband and wife, it is clear that this means that there have been promises in marriage that has been carried out and become small family, so why separate just because you have won big jackpot.
In household, when you win the jackpot, it means getting the opportunity to make life much better in terms of finances and background, being able to build decent house and develop business.
This will be supporting factor in the household being able to become more organized in more secure manner for life in the long term and there should be no separation just because of ego that appears.

I have never experienced or had experience in situation like this, when I win, I will be able to use it to enjoy things together, such as going on holiday or for additional business capital if it is large amount.

That not feasible because as much as possible we still have to maintain the integrity of the household even though we can say that we are new couple and don't have children, but if the division is for the common good and the integrity of household then I won't mind doing it.
Most important thing is that the family I built is not destroyed and that no separation occurs.
Moreover, I man who has the responsibility to look after and always provide harmony to the family that I have built.
I never thought that something like this would happen out there and it shame that it all happened because of each other egos.

Concerning money matters, of course everyone will be very changeable and there are even some people who forget the kindness of those closest to them when they win the bets they play for various reasons and we never know what the reasons are for those who want to part ways after getting that big win. and if one of them wants to know the real problem, of course the person holding the winning money is very unlikely to be able to get it because they have already taken the money they won.

It is said time and time again that money brings out the best or the worst in all of us. And with this article detailing this story, it’s once again proven to be true.
After reading the article, I’m inclined to side with decision of the new owners. The woman bought the winning ticket with her money and is entitled solely to the win. It’s now left to the woman to decide on how and what to do with the money.
Apparently, she decided to do away with the man for her own reasons. While I don’t think it’s that cool or nice to dump one after suddenly being rich, it’s her choice and decision to do so.

The man has very little to go on to be able to make a case for the money to be split.

50/50 split is a good choice if they can't be in a relationship anymore. I've been into this situation but not with a friend.

Whenever it is about money, someone is really trying to outsmart you and that's why if you're kind enough you'll be taken advantaged by that person.

So, for each of their welfare to have a fair share, that's all they need to agree with. And after taxes, they take each of them 50% as a share and they're good to go.

it sounds funny, getting the jackpot is of course shared and this actually damages the brand's household, I agree with 50/50, that way both get and enjoy it so who can argue unless one side wants to control everything, very immoral

Money will never lie, money will only show you who you really are. From my reasoning, the two people are no longer compatible in their domestic relationship. It's just that they haven't been able to decide or make an agreement to separate, because both of them are still dependent on each other. And now the two couples have won a very large amount, so they think this is the best time to separate, because with this victory, and by having a fairly large amount of money, the two people can let go of their dependence.

In a relationship, if there is no longer compatibility, there is no longer one understanding and one goal, separating is the best choice. Because if it continues it will no longer be any good and will only burden us more. Meanwhile, regarding the results of the bet, I think it would be better if we shared it evenly, rather than continuing to indulge our ego which will only complicate matters further.

They don't say for nothing that some big wins change lives, literally. There are shows about lotto winners and their stories. One of the craziest ones I remember was when a man lost his wife and children after winning the lottery. His wife left him for a younger man, his son died in a car accident (fast cars, fast life), and his daughter became addicted to drugs which led her to her death.


There is no answer to this question, at least any answer would be pure fiction, at least in the vast majority of cases. There is an old saying "If you want to see what kind of person someone is, give them a lot of money"! So we can imagine this and that now, but when we get into a given situation and when the parameters change, our actions change as well.

A huge win is like a big wave... once it hits us it's hard to keep our feet firmly on the ground.

Yes, when both are still couples or having no legal process or speaking about being partners or being married then splitting up would really be a long process and argumentation on which it could really possibly go into
legal action relating kind of situation on which it is really just that too much for those someone who do love to each other but well just like been said by others that money could changed up everything. You
would really be finding yourself that being hang in in the air on which you didnt even know that your partner was about to break you out just because of having those split of winnings. lol

Sounds really a disaster for someone who do really loves that person whether the male or a female on which trying out to split a million wouldnt really be that needing
to reach up courts if both have that make some aggreements and also, it doesnt really need up for you two to break up. For what actually?

It looks like a story dealing with distrust in relationship and this buttress the point of not to throw in all in a mere relationship. Relationship is different from marriage and Charlotte couldn't have done that to Michael with all the impetus that looks like she is going free from it.

What could have caused Charlotte to decide sending her boyfriend away because she won a jackpot , this unfortunate but such action is not peculiar to any the female because the male also does that so long it is a mere relationship. Anyway, lets see if Michael will succeed in his 50/50 bid or if he is going to get lesser or nothing from his lawsuit if he can prove that his transfer would have been used for the bet if there was no network hitches.

Sharing the fund 50/50 is the best decision and that would prevent any bad ideas from friends to create problems between the couple maybe in the future. Gambling is something that when two or more people put there head together, there might be a better result and that is what we have seen about the huge jackpot of this very couples.

There decisions was the best by sharing the money into two equal parts so each of them can always do whatever they want with the funds. We can always see through their decisions and learn from the two couples because that was the best decision ever and that would help them be a better couple in the future without any problems.

We don't know how deep their relationship was before the win. Probably not everything was going well with them all the time and they were going to break up, no one will tell us such details. Therefore, it is very difficult to talk about this topic. Of course, this win could be the last step for this, although it certainly looks good at first glance. It is also no secret that many couples are forced to live together because it is very convenient and more profitable, provided that both partners are calm and do not fool each other. Although on the other hand, due to force, they will also not be able to live under the same roof.

Generally speaking, there is nothing surprising in this story; I even recently watched a humorous scene with the same situation. It was absolutely the same thing, only in a comic form. I think many people recognized themselves in this and probably would have done the same thing and separated in order to enjoy life. This is not at all surprising to me in our material and selfish world.

winnings must be distributed fairly 50/50 is the best choice because it will not burden just one party, from incidents like this we can see that money can make us happy and can also destroy us, acting fairly and putting aside ego will be the solution

Does it mean because the purchased fund was from her bank account that they have to deny the guy from his right?
I have come across similar cases were the guy purchased the stuff and won the lottery and they shared it amongst them immediately as they separated. So, why denying a guy during this time that a girl paid for the purchase?
Where is the human rights?
The guy doesn't have to be intimidated. Let him have his share of the money as usually been by the law demands.

I'm surprised, from building a home and buying a car like living as couples just changed within few seconds because of money, there's nothing much to debate here cause it seems like the Charlotte lacks understanding and Mike at the other hand will do all means to take his share. The money should be shared 50/50, she never wanted to spend her money buying scratchcards but he forced her to do so, on a normal day if mike never followed her she would not even think about buying a scratchcard, secondly sharing the money 50/50 sounds peaceful and fair even if this desicion will hurt her that's what she signed for and with this attitude she just needed the money not the relationship.

This isn't a question of what we would do on that situation, because we don't know anything about them as a "couple", but just the surface. We don't know if Michael turned out to be a horrible man for example, as he most likely is painting himself in a good light.

First of all they were a dating, not married and not even engaged, but they dated for 3 months. That's barely enough time to even know if you are suitable for each other, not to mention to assume that you are going to get half of nearly everything what your date owns. People split up, that's not surprising. Especially if you take someone to celebrate, and he starts babbling how you two should buy house together. So i see a real possibility that michael turned out to be obsessive and maybe showed his true colors by demanding what they do next. They obviously weren't friends soon after the celebration, so why would anyone want to share anything in that case.

And it's not like he bought it, they were at the shop together, buying it with her money. She even scratched it.

legally the winning would be rightfully hers since it is her name that is placed on the lottery ticket.

if it was proven that the guy provided the money to buy the lottery ticket and they had an agreement to split the money then it sounds like the woman got greedy and decided she wanted all the money for herself since she knows that there is a high chance she'll get the money because of the legalities.

I gat one question to ask in this SAGA?
If the money was to be acclaimed to the guy alone, I believe the legal team will immediately draw up a suit requesting the guy to split his fortune with his partner as they're going their separate ways, right?.

Now its the lady with more claims to the money and they're mixing things up to ensure the guy goes empty handed, or why is the new representative looking for patterns to favor only the lady?.

 And from the information, the lady is the one getting rid of the guy and not vice versa, its obvious its an intentional act to possess the funds alone. I think the best thing is to split the money in half, so they go their  sperate ways with equal achievements.

Money and not love was the foundation of the relationship from the onset. And it is sad that this is true for so many relationships out there. Some persons would in a heartbeat, change friends, partners and associates once they make as little as $500,000

No, I haven't

I do not need to split the money. What I would do with my partner is to use some portion of the money to solve our needs. Save another portion and invest the rest. We would do it together. But this is going to be with my wife and not a girlfriend.

No. Ego will only cause more pain and hurt for both parties.


It is better to prevent it from the onset than allow it happen. You must discuss money matters with your partners from the start of the relationship.
The best way to solve this is dialogue fails, will be through the court of law.

It’s pretty common for money to bring a split among couples. Lots of people are together because they don’t see a viable way out of a situation. You even see the divorce rate dip during times of economic hardship like recessions. Covid was another time when the difficulty of leaving one’s spouse caused the divorce rate to dip…

I did make out some research about how much does it cost out of curiosity and i do found this.

The median cost of a divorce in the U.S. is $7,000, while the average is between $15,000 and $20,000. But this is not a one-size-fits-all price tag. More complicated “contested” divorces can be significantly more expensive, while uncontested divorces can be significantly cheaper.
Source: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/divorce/how-much-does-divorce-cost/

This do talks about on US cost, we dont know on other countries but to assume out that it would really be just near with those numbers
then we can really say that it wont really be something cheap and your point is actually that valid.

They were never meant for each, and the money just showed it. With the money they will have between themselves, they should both be able to use it to get a better life, put themselves in a better position so that they can meet better people or remain on their own forever.


when you are in a relationship with someone who is greedy, and you know likes money, always know that money can bring up an issue between you both.

The lady whose bank account is used to buy the lottery may be the legal claimant since the money used in buying the card is from her account, although under all fairness,  the winnings are supposed to be shared among them both and the 50/50 that the man project is fair enough for both parties and since both of them bought the ticket it will be unwise for them to fight over it even though they are already separated,  for God sake, this is gambling and it winning is always unexpected so there is no need to hold on to it or being greedy, the total amount in winning is enough for both parties to have a fair share.


If the man should take legal action, it will amount to him losing out on everything since the woman has the legal right to deny him, so long the card was bought from her account.

To resolve the issue, we need to identify the person who actually paid for the winning ticket, which is the girl. This person is considered the rightful owner of the ticket. If the ticket was purchased jointly by both of them who agreed to split the winnings after the fact, then that does not make all of them owners. However, in this particular situation, the man may be trying to keep half of the winnings for himself, despite that the woman is the one who purchases the ticket. This matter will need to be resolved in a court of law.

There are many cases similar to this that have happened in the past, gaining vast amounts of money can really change people or it might just wake them up to the fact that they would otherwise not be together now they've got options available. It's somewhat like the jealously and bitter feelings that can build up towards lottery winners, coming from family and "friends" after they've been told about big wins and sometimes try to leach off the winners. It can often be wise to keep these large lottery wins secret in that scenario. However for this couple, they were probably never meant to make it long term if this moment of ecstatic happiness caused them to break up and did not bring them much closer together instead.

If the love is strong, money will bind them and make them stronger unfortunately one wants to get all of it the other wants to get a share, for a couple who wants to have a strong relationship, they should have a positive outlook about money and they should have the same concept about money since the relationship is new and they are not yet married I don't think this couple will become a husband and wife in the future, there's already deceit and lying involve in the relationship.
The worst that can happen it will land in court and it's going to be a long and bitter battle in court and its heartbreaking for the family of both couples.

Windfalls of money, whether through gambling wins or lottery jackpots, can dramatically alter relationships and individual dynamics. While financial windfalls can bring moments of euphoria, they can also reveal underlying tensions or disparities in values and priorities within relationships. Your analogy to the jealousy and bitterness sometimes directed at lottery winners from family and acquaintances implies the complexities surrounding sudden wealth.

In the case of the couple you mentioned, it's unfortunate that their windfall did not serve to strengthen their relationship but instead led to a breakup. This outcome shows the importance of compatibility and shared values in relationships, as well as the potential for unexpected consequences when significant changes occur. While money can certainly provide opportunities, it's the strength of relationships and the bonds between individuals that ultimately determine their long-term success and happiness.

Money brings out the inner color of some people. If she wanted the guy from beginning and was serious about it, she would have cashout the money and tell the guy they should start something together, maybe a business that will sustain them and then that's going to be the beginning of their journey but clearly, she doesn't give any shit about the relationship, she was just looking for a way to milk the guy and now that she has found a a jackpot, she now want to discard the man, typical greedy lady that can sell someone out because of money.

If the guy knows that he is going to win the case, he should proceed and if he knows that he is going to lose, he should let go, perhaps God use this money to test their relationship and she failed. If she doesn't have proper management, she will might buy a house with the money and use the rest for feeding, give her max of 2 years she will squander all of that money and have nothing again. The man should try his own luck next time, who knows if his going to win. :D

For me it should be split in half as it mention that both of them couldn't won it if wasn't for each other.
One of them made the suggestion to gamble while the other was the sponsor for the ticket.
If neither of them agreed on it then they wouldn't even won that jackpot.

Even if the guy is telling the truth, he made the mistake that every man does where they make decisions emotionally instead of being practical. If he hadn't had her name written on the back of the card, this rule of the owner being the person having their name written on the back of the card wouldn't bother him, but he didn't think of it this way, and they didn't know that they are going to win such a big prize when buying the tickets.

It's unfortunate for him if he tried to pay for the tickets but the transaction didn't go through and now she is using this point against him that she paid for the tickets and she is the legal owner of the tickets which is a valid point even if it's unethical and she shouldn't be doing this if they were in a relationship.

It's their choice, but if the whole story is true, she is not doing the right thing.

It's better to split the prize money evenly to avoid stress and fights. Ego battles will just make things worse. If ever I would be in that situation, I would rather talk it out and find a fair solution. It's all about being calm, and mature and understanding each other's feelings to resolve things peacefully.

a very sad experience and I'm sure the relationship is not because of mutual love but because maybe the man can provide finances that can meet the woman's needs but after getting a big win from the lottery, the woman will kick the man as if she doesn't need the man anymore.
I said that the efforts made the woman were very bad and lasted for 3 months but everything changed when she got $1 million and what the woman did made the man hurt which could have a negative impact.
I'm sure everyone here has read the article and we definitely have the same thought that the power of luck is because the two of them are in a relationship so they are destined to get a big jackpot from the lottery and they should share it fairly or just a few percent is enough.

what worries me is that $1 million is not small money, but it is very large, whereas someone who usually doesn't have a big company suddenly gets a large amount of money which can trigger a crime, robbery, etc.
on the one hand, the woman has hurt the man's heart, which could mean that if the man is depressed, he could do something reckless to the woman.
well, that's what I'm worried about.


I have never experienced an incident like this and to be more precise, gambling is something that is risky and when I gamble I prefer to be alone and use my own budget because losing or making a profit is the only one who bears it rather than gambling with my partner or gambling with friends with a pooled budget. of course, when you get a big win it will have the impact of a fight because it's all about money which can make people greedy in a short time.

Oof, after reading the article, it seems that it's greediness that takes over. Imagine, you are the guy and you didn't expect this but you want a part of it but you didn't do anything to be accountable. He should've been responsible and transferred the amount of the ticket. So technically, it's the girls, right to claim it. There's nothing he can do about it IMO. If he could've been responsible, it's possible that they could split it, but he didn't.

That's what happens when you two aren't married yet. It's easy to do that to your partner lol.

Totally saddening that the result was greed and not something outside of that lottery that have lead to them splitting up, it's really crazy what money can do to a relationship, now you're high on love and the next thing you know, you've won the lottery and now there's a crack and you're supposedly strong relationship. The way that things have happened, this is probably the saddest break up that I've ever heard, read or seen in awhile because it's such a pathetic thing that this is their end.
They've been dating for about 3 months so I don't think that they're strong as we think they are, some married couple might even be having this kind of problem too, it's entirely dependent on individual when they come across so much money.

I think the girlfriend is only dumping him out of greed, she knows she can get half of the lottery amount that they won if they split. They're not married therefore that dude is lucky as this type of girl isn't someone he should be building a family with. She isn't a wife material unless she isn't the one at wrong and the guy have done something to upset her that she can't bare it anymore and asking for them to split. If both of them didn't play the lottery together, I don't think they should split it equally.

It'll be unfair to give someone 50% only because he was your girlfriend therefore more investigation should be done and if the winning of the lottery wasn't as a combination of their both efforts then the distribution shouldn't be done 50/50 but when the girl had a hand in the success of their lottery then she deserves to get her share of the prize. This is another reason why it's always good to gamble alone.

You know the saying "Money changes everything." ;D
I don't know who is lying and who is telling the truth, so maybe the 50/50 split is the best solution here.
If I had won the lottery, I would never split the jackpot with my significant other, but that's just me.
If you suddenly have lots of money, just end your relationship/marriage with your average looking wife/girlfriend and find a better looking girl. This might sound ruthless, but that's just how men are. You can't escape the human nature.
Those two were dating for three months. Are they really a couple? They don't have a marriage, so the woman can't insist on getting 50% of the man's property.
Anyway, this topic isn't about gambling. Why are you posting in the gambling discussion forum?

It will likely come down to a legal decision. From my moral standpoint, I understand the guy’s feelings that he deserves a share of the winnings since they were dating at the time, and he was planning to transfer her the money for the ticket. It's a shame that their relationship ended so badly, and it's even more unfortunate that the lottery winnings are now causing even more conflict. Hopefully, they can find a way to resolve this issue amicably, but it seems like they are headed to court.

The love of money is the root evil, you don't know the real character of a person until you see him/her handle money, I don't think this couple's relationship will last because they cannot resolve their conflict when it comes to money, money is one of the causes of the rift of relationships if they cannot pay the bills, and there is no food in the table the love for each other cannot last they should have a good and stable job to sustain their relationship, unfortunately, these two couples have not talked about how to address money in their relationship, so when an issue as bug as this comes out they do not know how to resolve, its better for the couple to either resolve it if they still love each other or let the court decide.

The article later mentions that the transaction did go through but was delayed due to a bad signal. The cashier in the shop also confirmed it. Therefore, although she appears to be the legal owner of the ticket, it's actually him who paid for the tickets, and something like this can also be proved. In my opinion, since the ticket was bought by the two of them, the money should be split 50/50. It seems to me that she got greedy, and knowing that they weren't married and that the ticket was in her name, she could run away with the money and dump him. What a shallow human being.

In any case, this man dodged a bullet by breaking up with this woman.

True, there is no one that can resist money, but this article or situation proves that their relationship is not solid or that they can replace someone they love just for the sake of money. Maybe this couple started to have problems when they won a lot of money from gambling. Just the years of relationship are a waste just because you two get into arguments and result in their breakup. 

Well, so far, I haven't experienced this kind of scenario. I'd rather not win a lot of money through gambling if this might happen to me and my girlfriend. I prefer to have my own money through my hard work. I want to be successful undergoing the hardships or going through the successful path together with my girlfriend. In short, we are more likely to become successful while supporting each other, and if gambling is the cause of our breakup, I prefer not to gamble anymore because relationships are the most important to me.

This is a sick story.

The lady never loved that man, this makes it all clear

 Charlotte asked him via a friend to leave.

👆🏻 she asked the man to leave, via a friend, she can't even said it to his face directly, after they have celebrated the winning together and also have plans for the money, this is very cruel of the lady, I think the man is lucky, someone else could think about taking his life via poison or assassination.

Before reading the whole story, something in me already thought that the lady ruined it all, and I was right, this is the time she will see something wrong with the man, something that wasn't there before they won the ticket, if justice is to be served here, they must split the money into two, but I will like to ask the woman why now? Why is she letting go after money is involved?

Woman are crazy creatures, most of them are this deadly and you may never even notice it, until it get to the point.

Or that chick has dodges a bullet, because what we know about that man from the story: the guy lived at her place, the guy asked her money for a lottery ticked, I am more than sure that it was his offer to go to celebrate with fish and chips (the chick would have chosen more fancy place). What if he was a looser and she dumped him? :D

Anyway, it will be fair to split or at least to share the prize. Because it was a joint decision to go and to buy that lottery ticket. Without each other actions and decisions, they would not have won that million.


Not protecting anyone, but a man who is dumped can go rage and cause physical harm :D A straight right or a heavy slap could be a minimum what she would get. Of course it is more safe to use a mediator in negotiations ;D

Issues been raised after winning? You are definitely right about women. They are decievers, manipulators, pretenders and totally crazy once that greed of money kicks in, right?
Im not really that generalizing but i could do such thing because i have a worst experience with women in the past on which i could say that they arent something to be trusted.
This is the sole reason on why i do make myself that not mindful about settling down or having that marriage thing, because i do really tend to search up the girl that would be something that not just only
good when you do have the money and could really be with you on those hardest times.

Sad stories because of this kind of sudden decisions because of the involvement of money. Love could be replaced and could be broken instantly if we do speak about huge amounts.
plans would be mold out into their minds and doesnt care on the current relationship that they are with. Theyre fucki'n selfish.

Well, not all women are after mens money LoL. It's not because you've experienced something like that that you will imprint in your mind that they all have the same actions and intentions. You will surely find the right woman for you, the one who will help you in everything, support you and most of all, will not leave you or change you for money.

You can’t blame him for having trust issue because experienced it personally. It’s easy to say that you will find the right woman but it’s really hard in reality to trust someone if you knew that it can turns out the same. It’s same as gambling that you will need to risk in able to gain. You knew that you can lose on your bet which is trust issue come to confused your next decision.

I don’t any experience with this kind of relationship but it’s important to establish first deep connection through friendship before entering to marriage so that you can analyze first what kind of woman you are marrying. On this story, the couple will not split up if they both didn’t become greedy. The husband is also at fault because he wants to solo the winning amount leaving his partner behind.

Since there are legal cases involved now, then I hope we can get an update on what will happen here.

I will put the situation in this way;

.. if they truly loved each other, money would not be split but rather shared.
.. if they did not love each other, then let the court or authorities do the solving depending on whatever agreement they can be settled with.

For me, it's a blessing in disguise that such a problem happened since at least their true colors are revealed before they can get married.

You are right, maybe she doesn't know a safer place to break the relationship but that's not even a problem, my curiosity is tingling like a spider sense, asking why now of all those times they have been together, it's scary what women can come up with when money is involved, they are sometimes scary.

Women tend to break up not in an instant, it must have been in the mind before they win the lottery, I suspect that she was just using the guy all along to get by everyday, surviving, sigh!

I hope they split the money in the end, it doesn't matter who bought the ticket and who originally have the money, if relationships are meant to be broken the moment we net high amount of money, then most hope won't be together today, money hungry people shouldn't be confused as a soul mate or life partner, be careful when choosing who to date or marry.

This means that there is a question mark in this matter, what I mean is that there seems to be another problem outside of the jackpot issue that made them decide to separate in the end, because if it is true that this couple loves each other it means that winning the jackpot should be a happy situation for both of them because of course it is money that they can use to create a business together or even plan to allocate the money for their wedding expenses, but what happened was the opposite where this couple decided to separate. On the other hand, I think that one of the couple was greedy enough in life that he probably claimed that it was his jackpot and the purpose of the separation was so that they could enjoy the winnings to the fullest. Another thing is that I have to agree with your idea that this is a situation that indirectly makes you realize that it turns out that it is not a suitable partner for you to keep, at least with this incident they can get wisdom that it turns out that the person they love is not the right person to take in a more serious direction.

As i have said that im not generalizing all women to be on this way but due to my own experience in the past or when im still on teenage to college days on being on a relationship then i could say that you should really be that careful on choosing with your partner for the rest of your life. You should have that standard of course and if something that make you feel that being choked then better skip and look for another one as simple as that. Somehow you shouldnt really be expecting for those to be perfect on your checklist since we know that there's no such thing about being perfect on which there would really be those flaws of course as so are you. The important thing on here is that you do both love each other and you would really stick up and love one another neither you do have money or not.

We cannot make our judgment here since it was a personal relationship, and they are the only ones who know what's happening within the relationship and whatever problem they are dealing with causing the split-up. The money won was really huge. If we look at the legal parlance, it was the woman who owns the ticket since she was the one who bought it, so legally she isn't required to split the winnings. But the man is claiming they should split since they were in a relationship; that could happen but with the approval of the woman. Without such approval, he can't force claiming he has the right.

In cases like this, we can only give comments based on the law of the land, and that's my stance regarding the issue.

all i can say is that that woman is also not so naive in life. when a person has money like that, they find independence and will not need the man in her life for a time being. but the same with the man, having such an amount of money, he can buy a sexier woman in his life.

they didn't say what is the reason for the break up or i missed reading it. but pretty much the money has something to do with it. the woman also has a kid which i think she thinks she wants the kid to benefit more off this money so i can understand the pursuit to take it all.

That's the power of money for you, it amplifies the characters of humans and that is exactly what happened with the two pairs and I could bet that if the money or lottery hadn't been won I doubt both parties will fail to see their flaws but now that there is money involved everyone wants to claim the higher portion and also the right of possessing it all. Sharing the money equally would have been the fairest thing to do but at the state of pressure covering the amount of money won, I doubt if any of the both parties ever taught of that.

Thats some greedy check you have there.. As far as i read up that they arent still married. So how she have a kid? hmmm.

In regarding on what you have said on not needing your partner when you do have the money. Lets talk about on the women side on which i could say that this is partly true, Why?
Based up on real experience on which on the time that my wife do make some huge income which is way more than on what im earning then you could really sense the change of authority
on which respect and control and being manipulative is already there.Whereas these things didnt exist on the time that she still getting your salary but on the time that they are
also earning big then this is where things do change up which it do really sucks.

For husbands then i dont see for it to be that something could happen since from the start, it is really that our main responsibility on raising up our own family.
There's no sense of being that too boastful because you are the provider.

Seriously, I just think the two couples don’t love each other, because if they really love each other, then money shouldn’t separate them. I don’t just know the kind of love they have for each other. After gambling and hitting a jackpot, they should just come to an agreement on how they are going to share the money among themselves, it shouldn’t get to the level of separating. They can just divide the money equally, and they are going to continue with their relationship. Both of them are entitled to the win, so they just have to share the money equally.

I haven’t been in a situation like this before, and I don’t think I will be in one because my partner doesn’t really like the idea of gambling, she just can’t stop me from gambling because she knows that’s what I do to have fun and am not addicted to gambling. But If she is having any way which she will stop me from gambling, am sure she will do that.

If a situation like this happens, then I will just have to bargain with my partner, if she really wants to spill the money, and I will ask her how we are to divide the money. If the percentage she is requesting is lower than my own, then I am fine, but if the percentage she is requesting is higher than mine, then we will have to share it equally.

I think something, we or well most men when we earn money and have our partner our family, at least I think about them everything to give them what they need, for my wife of course yes, I give her everything I can. my reach, but that's what some of us think, I don't know about the woman, the woman with that who now feels very empowered and all those things that are happening currently, they evaluate, some, but I could say that the vast Majority start from what They need a man, they can live alone without men, but if it is a couple where the woman has more Money than the man , she has to like him a lot, but the woman can usually leave him if she sees that financially she is superior, in fact a friend says that , that as a man he works for his family and for his wife , he shares his money for them, if there are no children for his wife , but in the case of the woman who has money she Leaves the man.

This is very relative, it could be like that, maybe not, what happened is that he is much older than me and he is one of those people who tells them that they are "old foxes" and they almost know that. all of them, because of their experience and Everything they have been through, and if they have been quite terrible people with one woman and another, changing women and having no wife and with other women, well that is only what many can think, having a woman freedom finciaera and being self-sufficient can make the decision to leave and leave the man alone, then that is something that can happen and in fact happens, at least in my Country things already look like that, I don't know, it may be that the culture in other countries So change.

I have noticed that many blame chick for making a decision to split and she wants to keep whole prize. I am sure there were reasons to do that. If their relationships were healthy, she or he would not make moves in the past and right now to split. Maybe that guy was a troublesome. Maybe there were no more magic between them. I dont know their whole background, but I cant blame for leaving that man. I can only blame her for decision not to split the prize.

That's what the friend said, that the guy ain't good to the woman (her friend). But that could also be biased because she just won a scratch ticket, there's a chance the winner asked the friend to say that in exchange for payment or something else.
This is a story where both parties should be heard but I think they will both lie on their teeth and create more stories just to look good on the judge.
I mean, that's a lot of money and I bet they are both ready to make things up just so they will have a part of it, especially the guy who I think has a low chance to receive a part of that money.

Considering his stance, he will have a hard time getting a split. I bet there will be a new deal but I doubt it will be half of the winning. I am guessing 20-30 percent of the money only but it will never be 50 percent. Plus, the dad of the woman seems to be helping too and who knows if all those decisions came from him which is why the woman cannot face his boyfriend when she split up. Through a friend only and it's possible someone else made the command.

The woman is not the only one who is at fault here so she is the only one to blame, They both became greedy for money and both are invincible because of their own pride. It's easy to solve that kind of problem, both should just agree on a 50/50 split especially since they haven't been dating for that long, they haven't been married yet so it seems like it would be difficult if you go through legal ways, too much of trouble and hassle on both sides.

It is not surprising, actually. Just think about it: there has been people who were doing okey, going through their life working hard and saving some money, until they win the lottery and in a few months or a year they somehow manage to get back to a situation of poverty; perhaps even worse than their initial state when they decided to play lottery.
If those results are to be expected when someone wins the lottery by their own, then when the lottery or jackpot is to be divided between two or more people it becomes very much likely things could go wrong with the distribution and the money and the inter-personal problems between those who are supposed to share it all.
At least, this is a story which had a relatively happy or neutral ending, there have been cases about people who had been decades together, married and then one of the people in the relationship decided to poison or murder-for-hire their partner, for the sake of money.
Besides, let us be honest, we are just talking about three months, not enough time for them to fully know each other, at that stage of a relationship people are just beginning to open to each other.  :P

They both alive the there is still money, so all it is good.

They had already split anyway, so there's no more trouble. The woman already claimed the money, she was the one claiming it because she was the one who purchase it, while the man is only after if he could have the 50% since  they were together. That's how sad the reality of the world is, money can reveal a person's true identity,  and in this case, it was the woman who has the right, so whatever the man will do, he can't change the reality.

Not that surprising because they arent married, much as people think its old fashioned it does help legally when any dispute like this comes up.   The Lottery wont change their minds and help him split it as all indicators are she paid for the ticket simple as that, the owner always has the rights in a dispute.    
 
Same reason to be cautious of syndicates also, ideally there  is some standard form to fill out by all players so that nothing can be disputed later.  I knew someone who ran a syndicate, on a big win (sub million) he just said well it was my own ticket so its all mine.  They hadnt recorded exact numbers apparently etc.  details matter.

when couples reach a point where they can sense what might their partner think or do whenever they achieve financial success, there is already a barrier between them. even if they love each other, behind their minds is something else. learning to trust each other will be needed. and not ignore the other like deciding something while the other isn't aware of it might cause commotion.

in their case, someone could be behind that causes this like a brother/sister or a friend who whispers their ears putting an idea regarding who has more share.

One of the most toughest situation is that whenever they do have those kind of denials and trying to own everything just because you cant be able to provide something that you had made out some agreement. This is why when it comes to money then you cant really be able to trust up someone and this is something that do really sucks when someone do put you up on such hard situation or
even getting blamed or ended up having nothing just because they do own the ticket or using up their own money or something which it could really make your blood boiled up.
Well, just like on what most people been saying here which is true that money could changed up anyone on point and dont mind about the relation that they do have with other person.

That was only the most important detail to determine who the rightful owner is. Whoever paid for the ticket owns it. If she will share her winnings, that would be nice to hear, but in this case, she kept the whole winning, and they split. That's just how it goes when someone is not important to you. Legally, there wasn't any obligation, so the woman should not be criticized here. Instead, the man should be since he's trying to earn rights to money he didn't own.

I am a married man already, and I see no way I and my wife are ever gonna split because of money, our relationship have growth past this stage a long time ago, but for the sake of this thread and discussion, let me assume that I am still dating my wife and somehow, we won such an amount of money, I do not see any reason that will cause us to split as long as we love each, except on the grounds that she started misbehaving and all efforts to bring her to order proved abortive, then she her self will have to decided that she wants out of the relationship, when and if she declares her intention to leave, for the sake peace, I would mind sharing that money with her 50/50, on the grounds that we won it together.

But then, if I was the one that actually won that money, maybe she's doest even know I was a gambler, or she knows but hasn't been supportive of me gambling, but only started showing support after I won this amount, and now, she wants to go her separate way, it did be clear enough to me that she is nothing but a gold digger, I will only offer her 15 to 20 percent of the total money won, if she doesn't accept it, then that's her cup of tea.

In the nutshell, relationships should be based on money, it's completely immoral.

Since the two couple have been in the gambling for some years, it will be easy for the money to separate the marriage because they married each other because of money not because of love, because assuming there is a truly love among them the woman will allow the man to keep the money so that they will use the money to create a good business that will be bringing profits to them to gamble anytime.

 If such thing happen to me, I don't think I will separate from my wife because I will make her feel the real love from me that will impact upcoming couple to always display their love to their husbands because, they are the head of the family.

Maybe the woman gas been the one providing for the man, because it was stated that the man stays in house, which might have made the woman to see herself as the one that has been losing since, and if she continues the relationship, she will be the one to take care of all the responsibilities. This might make the woman decide to dump him, and not to share part of the money with him, since she was the one that still paid for the ticket. If I were the man, I will walk away, and forget about the money, and the woman. Instead of going to court because it will be a waste of time, and he will not win the case, since it is one ticket to one player.

I agree with you who said "Whoever paid for the ticket, is the owner. If he wants to share the winnings, that would be nice to hear". because it is true that the person doing the gambling is yourself, but if you pay for the ticket using joint money, where the ticket was purchased with money that was actually the result of the joint venture then the winnings should be shared, if the person who bought the ticket is one party then according to I have nothing wrong with him keeping all his winnings for himself and not sharing them.

but I don't agree with "the man should have done it because he was trying to get the right to money that wasn't his own", I mean it's not good to try to get the right to money that wasn't his own,  and if there was an element of coercion perhaps it would have included robbery or the like. but what is clear is that a big win at gambling can cause problems such as increasing individual selfishness unless the winner wants to share his winnings then that's not a problem.

Maybe to be more precise, they are not husband and wife, but partners. The distribution is of course based on each person's ego, usually women will ask for more shares for whatever reason.
And most men will accept it without daring to argue for it. Yes, fortunately they now have money, at least that can be used as a guide for both of them to live their lives.

Let me just tell you the thing that is in more important in relationship in relationship I know quite well that money is involved and the money is the pillar of every household or any relationship so without money then I don't think that the relationship will work out very well how you are saying is that you should know what you are doing and you should also know when to spend your money and how to do about your money in aspect of gambling you have to also minimize your way on for expenses when you know that you have family or you are into a relationship so gambling is something that you have to have the statistics of it

You make a fair point.  Money should not define a relationship and  however, finances do play a role that couples cannot ignore.  The reality is, each relationship handles money differently.  The best policy is open communication about finances, especially during major life changes like a financial windfall.  Money itself may not buy happiness but honest talks cement bonds between partners, whatever their bank balance.

I think the man saved himself from hell. He should be glad to have seen her true colors before marriage. But I think he just has to let go of that money, it's not him anyway as he isn't the one who bought the ticket. I think the money is better to belong to the woman since she has a kid to take care of. She has a kid out of marriage. The man has a job and can take care of himself. I would be running away from that woman if I were him.


They break up and are fighting who gets the money or whether they will share because the woman isn't sharing.

This is actually cruel i should say that after all the things they've been through she just simply dumped him on the time that she had the money? This do really proves out that
a certain person would really be just easily be dumping their loved ones and dont mind about those things that they've been through on which on the time that they do have that money
then they do just simply make out those kind of actions on which it is really just that sad if we do end up on that mans position. Even myself would definitely be leaving that house
and just simply move on and make myself realize that there are people in our lives which doesnt known our worth. Well thats life and we dont have no choice.

At least to me the situation is incredibly clear, she paid for the ticket, scratched it, the ticket has her name and legally there can only be one winner, so it is completely up to her whether she wants to share the prize with her now former boyfriend, now if they were married then legal actions could be taken in the case of a divorce to get the half he would be owed, but since this is not the case I do not think he has any legal recourse to get half of that money.

I am blown away how people think that that guy is even telling the truth. Why do you think it was the woman who showed her true colors? There's a reason they split up, the reason that the man wouldn't  share here for obvious reasons, if it was because of him. She got her kid to protect as well, so she is sensitive for spotting red flags as she should in that situation. And what kind of man goes to talk to press and tries to defame her instantly?

"It just came out of the blue" is something i hear pretty much from every broken relationship where communication didn't work, and usually it is because other one wasn't listening.

And since you brought up that you would have been running away, she literally ran away already, so something tells me it wasn't the man who was trying to dodge the bullet here.

I think that she's the b***h here. The bought it together, it was his idea, but she paid for it because his app wasn't connecting. She won, wanted to buy a house with him, but some friend or family member told her that she can have any man she wants with that money. She can buy a better car, get better clothes, act like she's upper class and get an upper class guy, so she dumped him.

She couldn't even say it in his face, but asked his friend to tell him that she wants him gone. She knew it was his idea and decided to cheat him and claim it was all her... That's so cruel. I hope life kicks her in the ass one day.

If we talk about it technically, the woman is the one who won that money and who is the rightful owner of the prize as they said there is only one winner and it's logically the one with the name written behind that card. If we follow the laws, the woman has all the right to take the prize alone.
But in a situation like this, the whole process of getting a scratchcard and trying luck was the couple's idea together, they both decided to do it together. The right thing to do is to split the money so both of them can move on in his life and get rid of such burden. 
The man has all the right to hold onto this case as he sees himself rightful for 50% of that prize, we are speaking a big sum of money, I think that it is not that easy to let go such amount.
But I personally don't think I would insist on my half of the prize, I think I have too much ego to just stand there begging to have my share, especially that the couple isn't married, it will look so pitiful.

There are reasons why they split and for sure the winning money makes them capable to so that decisions and as long as they both agree with the terms, I don’t see any problem for this. Now that they have the money, I’m sure they can be more happy living their own lives, if they are not married I believe the 50/50 sharing should be their terms. 

Well some persons will argue that taught of yours but from a legal and reasonable sense, I think you are actually correct but all the same this just shows how powerful money can be, the thirst of money have done so much to humans even the ones that are morally obligated to each other then talk more this particular case that the two are just in the process of friendship.

Well, if I'm the guy, I'd try to fix the relationship so that it's going to be still big amount after taxes. But if there's no solution with that and it's just all money, that's fair to be on a 50/50 split.

I've watched similar stories that are happening there about couple's breaking up after winning the lottery, winning some jackpot or after getting some insurance money. It's just all about the money and that's sad that their relationship's foundation is about money. Because if they do really love each other, they're going to choose love and relationship other than money. Give person the money that she's got it for the first time and everything will change. They have a different priority and that's hard to change when they're already in the process of splitting or breaking up but at least, they have a good memory that with their break up, they have the money to sustain their needs and they're free to spend it to anything that they wish to.

I think there is an unequal distribution (maybe) because after winning the Jackpot they want to get more of course there is an ego behind it but if this couple is more concerned with the family of course it can be done without having to separate because basically the right to money will be the wife but if they want to separate of course there is a 50/50 division.

That has been a joint decision by dividing the results maybe with this money they can live more independently or look for other pleasures maybe? But I just heard this news where there is a jackpot winning married couple who ended up separating.

Poor guy, but maybe it's for the better and he dodged a bullet? Imagine what would happen if she was the way she is, because you don't change character all of a sudden, and the guy married her, had a child with her and then she stole all his money, took the child with her and sued him for beating her, or filed a complaint that he abused their child. The guys whole life would go down the drain and now it's just money he won. Easy come, easy go. Anyway, I still feel sad for him. She knew what she was doing there and played him like a fiddle.
Of course the right thing to do if she did not love him and wanted to split up was to share the money, but she's too greedy to do it.

In my opinion, dividing the winnings equally is the best solution for this couple. 900 thousand dollars for an average person is a very large sum, which with a competent approach will allow you to live your whole life without denying yourself anything and without doing work that you do not like.

If I were one of them, I would definitely agree to such conditions without even thinking about it.

She surely dug the right hole to get all the gold for herself, cruel world indeed and a  why most relationships don't last till date.
Everyone looking for who to take advantage of, instead of how to lift their neighbor up.
Perhaps the couple just casually hooked up and went on a fun date and such happened, but if they were married and such happened, I think she had no right to claim all the winnings to herself.

I wonder how the man's reaction would have been after such incident, would he still try to play again next time and keep hoping to win or just quit cold hard turkey?
It is up to him to move ahead and I believe karma would hunt the lady soonest for being such a b***h really.

In fact, it's quite common for people winning lotteries, jackpots etc to break up after they receive the winnings. Why? I suspect that's because many people are showing their true face after they become rich. Some understand they've been living with a wrong person for all these years together.   

This is why she had decided to break up with him and planning to solo all of the money and since they arent legally joined or married then it would really be that there are people who are really
that taking advantage into other people and since they are just new then she wont really be that getting hurt if she decide to break up with him and have those millions. It is really indeed a
cruel world on which people do take up advantage into someone as much as they could be able to do. For those who dont have the rights then they are really that getting
left behind hanging in the air.

Certainly the best thing to do is to split the money, but I will give you both answers:

It's better to divide: When half of 1.9 million is more than enough for you to pay all your debts, make a good investment that provides you with passive income and even buy something you've always needed like a house or car. It's not worth creating more problems in your life because of a fight like that.

It is better to fight to get all the money: When you are really in debt and half of that amount is not enough. This can happen to those who, for example, have a company that went through a difficult sales year and accumulated a lot of debt with suppliers, employees and banking institutions.

The woman is a having a greedy thought, why bring up such attitude on a situation like this . After telling him she doesn't have money to spend on scratchcards but based on his bad signal connection she did it and because they were into a relationship and she new he was  going to pay her back. On a norm it was the guy that won that lottery but because her name was on it the card the lottery company will pay to who ever that his/her name is there but she should do the needful by splitting the money 50/50 because had it been his transfer went through actually it would have been his own. The man claims and chances of getting his share of the money Lye's between his Halifax App bad signal but later went through in 40 Minutes time, the woman at the shop who backed up his claim and the CCTV footage of him showing them both of bad signal he got from the Halifax App while trying to send the money. I think she has gotten wrong adviced which is trying to make act greedy because they were jubilating together, having plans of acquiring property together and planning together so it should remain so or they split the money so everyone can go there way.

If a life partner is not friendly then that life partner is never around. Here two couples hit the jackpot and break up after hitting the jackpot. Of course I can do a 50-50 trial analysis for these two couples. I'll split 50% 50% for this couple so they don't get upset in any way. I'll never judge them for giving the entire jackpot to one person. But in the journey of life one should never participate in gambling with one's spouse whenever the spouse is my contemporary and earns more than me then there will definitely be a separation in that world because if a man earns money he can live happily with his partner all his life but if a woman earns. That woman cannot live happily and peacefully with her husband. That is why I want to say that girls should always be kept at home and never allowed to be contemporaries of men.

Wasn't this the story where the guy didn't get any of t he money and went to court, but was denied by the judge? I just recently read a story of a scratch team winnings between a couple. The guy didn't have any money with him and his girlfriend bought him the ticket. He even transfered her money online while still being in the store and the clerk noticed it. In the end the woman won the money, dumbed her man and kept all the money for herself. Apparently it's only the person that buys the ticket that will win the money. After reading more of those stories, I would be very cautious to let other people buy lottery tickets for me. In my opinion a 50/50 split would be fair for a couple, even if only one person bought the ticket. As long as the couple is together and both want to play the lottery and decided to buy the tickets together. I can understand that after winning a lot of money your life changes completely, and you might not be happy with the partner that you had before. The judge should rule in favor of a fair split, which is going to make everybody happy. This is still a lot of money and emotions should be left out of the decisions. Just because they broke up doesn't mean that the woman is entitled to more money. 

There is more to relationships than love and companionship,  and if the relationship was based on anything outside the two factors that I mentioned,  it is then justifiable to say that the woman may be in her right to say she wants to walk away after winning the money,  let say, for example,  where the relationship is based on contract and agreement to must be together for a while and achieving a goal like travel together or have a baby in this situation the woman may be in for the money and now that luck smiled at her,  to have won this money,  she be like I don't give dem anymore and decides to walk away with the jackpot.

The worst for the guy is that the money used to buy the lottery ticket comes from the woman's account,  so she has the legal right to claim the money if the case goes to court unless she offers to split the money with the guy in 50:50 ratio which to the guy is a good offer for him not to be in total lose.

I don't know the real story if they had an agreement of sharing money won from the game and I don't know if they contributed money together to play the game. If their were agreement of sharing money I think the needful needs to be done. But if their was no agreement and no contribution of money that was used in playing the game I don't think the other partner have for a share from the game that was placed and they are not even married,  so no need for the other person to expect a share from the game that was won.

I think the right thing needs to be done about this matter,  if their was not agreement no need to take this far. Entitlement is bad , being in a relationship doesn't mean they have equal right to money.

if they are officially married then in my opinion the winnings should be divided equally as the OP said 50/50 which is fair in my opinion, but if only one party gets the winnings and they are not officially married then there is nothing wrong with them taking all the winnings just one party, but it all comes down to whether he wants to share it or not, as long as he is willing to share his winnings, there's nothing wrong with that, it's a good thing.

When it comes to caring for a child, it depends on custody because it could be that the custody is on the man's side, even though the man can work alone to earn money to meet his needs, that doesn't rule out the possibility that the man has custody of the child. If they don't have a problem but they win big at gambling, it doesn't matter if the woman persists. What is clear is that gambling can have a bad impact on a relationship, try to keep the relationship good.

Possibly, we won't ever know the exact two sides of the story. Although it's mentioned in the article that he transferred the money to her because he didn't have his card with him, he even showed the clerk, who confirmed it was how it happened. Anyway, since they're not actually married, legally he's not entitled to anything. Morally, since they've bought the ticket together, it'd be nice if they split profits 50/50. Personally, it sounds sketchy that she broke up with him immediately after and didn't even have the guts to tell it to his face.
Unfortunately, it is not. A large number of people are just messing around, not in serious terms of relationships. After such an incident, they quickly proceed to shoo the other person because they never actually deemed them as a potential partner for life, or at least for the long term.

This is the reason on why it is very important that if you would gamble, only use your own funds to purchase the ticket.

It is going to be very difficult if you borrowed money and they purchased the ticket for the lottery. Since the ticket came from them, then they have a case that cannot be disputed against them. They will own the rights of the ticket which will put you on a difficult position to fight for.

This is exactly what happened to this guy- he purchased the ticket using the bank account of his alleged "girlfriend" and he won the lottery. Since they are actually not married, it is considered that no conjugal partnership exists between the couples. Under the spirit of the law, the man is not legally entitled to reimburse more than the price of the lottery ticket to his friend. But on the other hand, on the spirit of morality and fairness, then the woman has at least equal rights to 1/2 portion of the winnings that the man won.

What makes you think/feel it's the woman's fault?
The story says, the couples split, we all know that the media sensationalizes these type of stories and they make you see the side they want you to see and sometimes  what you're seeing isn't even the right story.
It's possible that it's even the man that requested for them to split up so he can have the liberty to do whatever he likes with that kind of money, because one thing we know is that, sometimes loyalty comes with the ultimate price, sometimes, poverty also prompts loyalty, and when the money comes, loyalty disappears.

Theres are a lot of questions right here, like who made the bet only the guy?, the girl?, or both of them, also is which money they use, can be argued with this kind of scenario. Still, it depends on the winner because they are just dating there's no responsibility for each other unless they are married, to be quite fair I guess that split is the best decision but imagine they keep dating normally. They won money split the money and got separated.

The couple won the jackpot but split soon after!  I mean If is the best for both of them I also take this rather than you married and something bad happens.

Besides that 1 Million money is a lot I can build something with that and buid a passive income and enjoy life for a bit Right?

Yes, you are right. With that huge money after cut the prize into half, we can live separately and have a new lives. We can do something with that money, even we can builds a passive income that can produce more money to us while we can enjoy our life better. We can't continue our relationships if it's not good for both of us and it's better we separate and end our relationship. Many people do this when they think they can't continue the relationship and if they insist to continue, maybe their lives will not be good. Instead of having a bad lives with our spouses, it's better we discuss deeply each other before we decide to end our relationships.

But what the OP shows is that they are a couple, which basically what one of them has belongs to both of them, the term is already embedded by itself if you have a partner, whichever money is used to make a bet then the result must be the choice of both, but this becomes complicated when it comes to money and feelings and also rights, sometimes the claims on each partner are different even though they have a bond in a dating relationship, however the basis is mutual sharing, that's what might be debated.
It's ridiculous when it comes to relationships and when it comes to money they split up, isn't that illogical? I say why don't they enjoy it together?

I agree even if they are dating there is a long relationship between them and the relationship is not built in a day. Even if they wanted to they could subdivide everything together. Separation for money is really bad. It is not always right to build relationships with money people prosper through good relationships. The amount of money they have won will end one day. If they were together the relationship would have been better and luckily they would have had a chance to win more.

that's easier said than done because human nature is greedy and it is normal for them to be blinded by money and fight over it. if they think that each of them has full rights to the prize, then the best way to resolve this issue is to take the matter to court and let the court determine who is most entitled to the winnings. that's the only way to determine who has the most rights.

no


the right choice

no


no, because that would be an unfair choice, which would burden only one party

solve and speak carefully so that we act fairly and do not cause unilateral harm

must be fair and tolerant, there is no point in arguing

That is exactly what it is going to happen, because right now the one that has the full rights to that prize money is the girlfriend, and even if I agree that morally half of the prize is his, since it was his idea to buy the tickets and he had the intention to pay for it but his bank app failed, when it comes to the law I do not think he has a leg to stand on, since legally she has the right to get all of the prize money and if she does not want to share it that is her choice, so I think he will lose the lawsuit.

This is the King Midas effect in play, careful what you wish for because you might just get it then you have to handle it.   Somehow not all lottery winners can handle the success at their hands and personally can suffer for it.   It is about as ironic as things can get.

My first take if I was suddenly blessed with wealth is secure my long term liabilities.   I know this might sound boring but if we pay attention to the history of all winners its apparently well worth doing for the sake of staying happy long term not just on the win.

Secure long term health is a big one, long term health care is expensive but can be taken of to end of life not just a renewal of policy which can be pragmatic in bad health should it occur.   Secure earnings long term, minimum income to end of life can be done via a policy cover.   Pension and housing all of these are super obvious but expensive to buy, well worth it and then you have less burdens to squabble over day to day.
   This couple staying together was never a given but I think every winner has the stress of finance planning and it can be destructive.

People do really changed in a snap on the time that we do speak about huge money specially if we do speak about millions on which it isnt really that shocking that these kind of actions could really happen.
People do changed up instantly and doesnt matter about their relation into other people. Basing up into the situation then that guy wont really be having the rights considering that the funds been used owned by the girl then she does have the full rights in regarding on this one even if this case would be bring up into the legal aspect. The only sad thing on here is that why both come up on splitting up?
Due to greed and this is why they do really end up on having those arguments on whose the full rights with those amounts. 50.50 should be fine i guess but it seems that they dont
really like to have some split up with those money. lol

..

your plan is good in fairness, you thought better to settle all your liabilities so that whatever is left, you will use that as savings. It's not boring if you think about it, but it's a very practical thing that you first settle everything that needs to be paid before you spend on other things. One of the things I noticed when people win a large amount, they don't value the money they earned and they become one time big time spenders so all their winnings are used up quickly. there is nothing wrong if you use the money you got but we will always think that we do not win every day and are given the opportunity to win.

Money could changed up everything even if it means that you would be leaving your loved ones if you both didnt agree with the terms. Just like you have said that relation could be replaced
but money making opportunity isnt something that you could hit on everyday and once that opportunity hits then that someone wouldnt really be caring about relationship whether on your bf
or would be even inside the family as long we are talking about money. Just like on what most people been saying that it is really just that sad that people do really ends up on this option
on which why they cant make out some settlement or having those in depth discussion about the certain condition.

If ever there would really be some arguments about money or prize split up and this one would go to legal matters then the ones who do make out
such use of his/her money would really be having the full rights of the said amount no matter what methods that has been used on buying those tickets.

This story is unique and a little complicated after I read the link you shared, in the contents of this thread post. in fact, I am not in the capacity to give an assessment of these two couples, especially regarding the prize for the lottery winnings they won. I don't dare to speculate and give an opinion based on the story in the link you shared, because I don't know these two people. moreover, things related to the background of the relationship between these two people. so, I will just try to answer the question you asked.

First of all, I have never experienced this situation. because, my partner doesn't like betting, whether it's lottery or games that are usually available on a casino platform. second point, this is actually very confusing for me. especially, if I have to assume a 50/50 split to be fair.  third point, for me, this is a matter of trust. I don't know who actually has the right to win this lottery, especially if I win it. This winning money is our shared money, it doesn't need to be shared to be fair. because if I win as described in this post, automatically everything will be for mutual needs and includes things related to desires. the point is, am I someone who can be trusted, and vice versa. the problem of who keeps this winning money, depends on both of them. if it were me, I would fully discuss it first with my partner. what do we plan to do in the future, and how do we ensure that this money doesn't go to waste. If my wife asked him to save it as a joint savings, I would fully give it because we have mutual trust in each other. Well, I have answered your question. from the first point, to the third point.

Anyway, for me this is a matter of distrust. I don't know for sure how the behavior of the two couples is described in this thread. and that's why, I don't dare assume that it's not my portion. Plus, I've never experienced a problem like this.
On the other hand, my partner is always a living alarm when I start to go overboard regarding my gambling.

Many people cannot control the greed of money due to sudden get huge money. Sometimes even good relationships lose for the money. I think that's what happened in that couple. When they didn't have the money to win, they were close to each other, but as money won, the rift grew between them. Here I am sure that the matter of greed stirred greatly among them. Maybe it is because of the sharing of money that such a rift has been created between them. Greed also works between students and teachers in the present day with money and the relationship between them is destroyed. If I were in such a situation, I would definitely divide the money there equally. What I considered was the luck that helped me win that money. I did not own that money before. And if I didn't get that money I would have nothing to do. Considering these factors, I would definitely share my winnings.

I'm guessing it's all fine and dandy as long as they have separated amicably, although honestly speaking, the guy's one perfect example of why you should sign up for a pre-nuptial agreement. Cause at the end of the day when you die before her, she's gonna get the money you have, and if she really loves you before the cash, then she'd be more than willing to marry you and face the prospect of not getting a single dime out of you should you guys file for divorce later down the line. I've seen quite a lot of males in here get fucked sideways when the divorce settlements come in, not only losing literal halves of their net worth to someone who would bad mouth them against their friends and possibly your kids if you decided to have any, and fuck someone you barely know while you're out there trying to pick up the pieces of your broken marriage and life. It sucks but it all stems from the fact that we trust people too hard until we sit and realize that the person we loved all these years isn't the same person we're sitting across the courtroom anymore. Oh well, hope the guy in OP's post is doing fine, hope he realizes that this is not the end of the world for him.

A lot of people value money more than humanity. It is pitiable that this generation just believes that money is everything. Some people believe that since they have money, they don’t need to stay in a relationship. But then, the world can only be a beautiful place to live if we practice love for each other. As you have noted, greed can drive people to prioritize personal gain over relationships, leading to rifts. However, prioritizing fairness and equitable distribution of wealth can help preserve relationships and prevent resentment from building.

Sudden wealth can indeed strain relationships, as it may alter dynamics and introduce new tensions, especially if there are disagreements over how to handle the money. People should understand that it's important to consider the long-term implications of financial decisions and prioritize the well-being of relationships over short-term gains. Building and nurturing strong relationships can bring greater fulfilment and happiness than wealth alone.

Basically money never lies, and when someone has a certain amount of money then their true nature will be seen. and most of them will be selfish, just like this couple. They think that money can solve everything and think that money is everything.

Building a good relationship is not easy and at least takes a long time, but a good relationship can be destroyed in an instant, for example just because of money issues. which means that when talking about money, not only does the person become a little selfish, they also become more sensitive. and starting from this, it is quite important that in building a relationship, apart from being able to respect each other, we also have to be able to equalize our perceptions, so that we aim at the same goal.


"Greed can sometimes make someone lose their mind a little." And if this problem cannot be resolved through good communication and one-on-one conversation, then deciding to bring this problem to court is a decision that is quite a solution.

Well if the relation is not built in a day then money is also not made in a day. How often we see that because of money, the relationship of husband wife, girl friend boy friend breaks. The reason is being that both partners thinks that they should have the right to get the whole money and they do not come to a mutual understanding or conclusion.

There are many stories related to this and one of them is when This Couple Agreed to Split the Lottery If They Won. When They Did, She Left with All the Money (https://www.rd.com/article/lottery-ticket-dispute/).

I do not understand why people can't divide the money in a friendly fashion and why there always has to be a sad ending. You win a jackpot or a lottery in gamble and it is a good moment, but the happiness soon turn into sadness for one of the parties as it affects the relationship among the gambler's near and dear ones.


I wished they could have handled this in a friendly manner but not to be. Reading the whole story some questions arises in my mind like

1) Is money more important than any relationship?

2) Are people so greedy for money?

Most individuals change their outlook in life once they got a hold of money. So it is no surprise why some couples will split owed to money matters. It means, the foundation of their relationship is not yet solid as it is largely influenced by money. Because in a strong relationship, money should only come in secondary, as there are bigger factors that can dictate as to where the relationship is heading to.

So it depends on a how much the person loves his or her other half, when they are tested by money issues. For some, who have significant amount of money, the reason they are having this pre-nup agreement. I believe, this is really helpful especially when couple starts to having problems in their relationship. As the saying goes, there's no forever.

What form of legal right does she have to the money? They are still dating and are not legally married yet; at least that's what the news states, unless there are some legal policies that state a girl is entitled to the person she is dating. 
 
But looking at it from the aspect that they went into the lottery shop together and the bank used to pay for the lottery card belongs to the lady, then she deceived a fair share of the money, even if it's up to 50% of the amount won. It wouldn't be a bad idea if there was no condition attached to the money when she paid for the card.

Well, if I was in this situation, I would not split the win with her lol, since I'd be the only one to have the keys to my XFUN wallet lol. Decentralization rules!!

Many people would like to believe themselves to be the kind of person that can put themselves, their family, country and values above all else, but we know better, most people do in fact care way more about the money than anything else, but I really think she is not really considering all the aftereffects this decision will bring her, because even if she could keep all of that money, nothing can be hidden these days, so whenever she desires to start new a relationship with someone else, that person will eventually find out what she did, and most of them will take the decision to give up on her, as it is clear where her priorities are.

What would be the after effects? The only thing i do saw that it would really be affected is on his relation with his boyfriend but since they are still dating for 3 months then i would say that this wont hurt much. It would be an another story if we do see some couples that goes beyond 3-5 years or more and then suddenly make out those kind of breakouts just because of money talks.
Yes, this money isnt something that too small or could be life changing but we do know that getting in having those kind of break outs just because of money disagreement or discussion then
it is really just that sad that people do really changed in an instant if we do speak about money. Well shit happens specially to that guy, when it comes to legal actions or approach then
the girl would be having that full rights of such winning.There's no such thing about moral things if we do speak about money.  :D

Shoot, I mean good for both of them hopefully the pot was split evenly and they parted their separate ways with a ton of cash to live the life they've always dreamed of? Best case. Worst case one of them got the lions share and took of leaving the other in the dust, either way what a crazy roller coaster that must have been. I hope they are both doing well now. This is giving me crazy "what happens in vegas" vibes (the movie with kutcher).

Our decisions either affects our strategy, making it accurate and stronger or weaker, but in whatever we do, we just have to employ strategic ideas to explore in the system. We have priorities as human beings, and the one that comes first is taking good care of the familu by providing for their needs. We have the vast number of gamblers praying to hit a jackpot in the space but most of them doesn't fit in the shoes because they're unlucky with the gambling long runs. I'm never giving up because watching and embracing the evidence profited over these years, it's worth it.

In my opinion, the reality is that money can change a person. by getting a big win or a large amount of money, of course it does influence thinking, usually people will experience changes when they have a lot of money. This is clearly a reality because in my environment there are cases like this too. People who get big wins tend not to care about relationships or anything else because they feel like they have a lot of money so they think they can have everything with the money they get. with them separating, perhaps because of their respective egos, which are both large, whereas they cannot take a better middle path, only thinking about their own egos, until the decision that occurs is separation.

It's true what you say, maybe it's because of their greed, but in my opinion, if the party who wins can share it well, in the sense that they are already in a serious relationship then everything should be done together. including the victory obtained, if it is discussed properly, perhaps there will be no separation. However, in reality, humans do have the nature of being greedy with their own portions, especially with money. When you have a large amount of money, change or selfishness will definitely emerge.

What you say is very true, in fact, there are people who care more about money than the love that another person may feel for them, for them money is more important, in fact I have a friend whose woman left him, she He went to the USA and the business they both had, what she did was steal everything from him, she left him bankrupt and with many debts, they had been together for 23 years, with children already of age, and she didn't care at all and left him, so These are the things that I don't understand, my friend in the middle of his sadness and anger told me that when men have money we think about our family, our wife and children, but when a woman has money she only thinks about herself, of course not. I told him nothing because the moment he was going through was not easy at all, he cried and told me that he felt like he was going to die, something that really hit him a lot, of course I understood that what he said about women was for a reason. act of rage and helplessness, I know that many of them are not like that. I told him that this would happen to him if he found another woman, but at that moment, my greatest joy was seeing him yesterday with another woman. He came to my house. and he introduced her to me and my wife and my 2-year-old daughter, at least if that relationship doesn't last, well it doesn't matter, you know that at this point you have already overcome the most difficult thing, even if it is with the help of that woman who is much more younger than him, he is 52, she is 32, some age difference, but I hope everything turns out well for them.

The difference is that she is from a wealthy family, and I don't think she is going to leave him for money, because she is a very humble person, so we have to learn these contrasts in life because money is not everything, being healthy. , life, family, are great treasures that they often have and do not value.

Shows they don't deserve each other because if 1.9 million can make them separated then
what more if they won hundreds of million? they might kill each other then lol because this shows
how Money can bring a true attitude and character of the person if they can pretend to be good
and better when they are  living simple life? yet they will be different when they have so much
money.

Is it really like money changes people? I think it is greed. Money is just the form of it. I mean if they would have won a huge house or a luxury car instead, that chick would have dumped this guy anyway.

I dont know what will be the correct solution in their situation. It is understandable that they split. They dont need each other anymore and used each other in search for better. Splitting the prize would be a best solution that no one would choose, but to give a farewell gift (money) would be a good decision imho.

At least they went viral, so anyone who want to have a relationship with them know to carefully to involve them with money, otherwise they might break up and take 50% of the wealth.

Money can show someone true personality, in this case money revealed the woman's greediness.

Yeah, that guy deserve more than just a 10 ton woman. :P

We don’t know at what stage of the bad relationship this couple was, perhaps they were ready to do this because of any little thing. And the money won has nothing to do with it, it’s just that the situation looks like it was because of this winning that everything happened. I want to say that everyone knows a couple who are dating and it seems that everything is fine with them, but in fact, when they remain alone, scandals and discord occur over all sorts of little things, so something similar could happen to them.

In general, it’s interesting for me to watch such situations and think about what would happen to me with my girlfriend, as well as with those couples from my environment, of course everyone is different, but I think that most of them could also have a divorce to start a new life, but I I doubt that this will bring them happiness.

When you are someone who had been changed up by money then its obviously greed because if you havent been able to get affected with it then it is really that a sincere feeling towards other people
specially when you are on a relationship and in the time that you have on such situation then only those greedy bastards would really come up into this kind of situation on which you
would really be putting up yourself on such decision on breaking up just because you do argue on whose the rightful winner of the said amount but well basing up on how long they've been together
then it is a short one. They wouldnt be hurting out themselves too much in terms of emotions.

What hurts the most is that someone is trying out to argue that they would really be having that bigger share or the one would really be taking it all.

The thing wouldn't reach the point of separation if they were both serious about the relationship and if they had love and affection for one another, but that doesn't seem to be the case in this situation because they are doing their best to have the money on their own and keep the other person out of it, and from what we can read from the story, the girl/women seems to be more selfish and greedy if she is the one who started all this after the win if what is written in the story is true.

However, this shows that a lot of relationships are based only on certain conditions and compromises and this is proved right when things like these happen.

People often underestimate the power and influence of money, money can be a real game changer in relationships, it has the ability to either bring out the worst or the best in people depending on the scenero.  In this very case, it appears that the couple in question either may have observed that money can't buy happiness or keep them together or may have discovered just how different they are and couldn't continue.

We can agree that when there's a sudden influx of money, people can begin to prioritize their own needs over the needs of others, and this can also happen in marriages and other relationships. This could certainly lead to disagreements, conflict and even breakups.

with the story you said, it indicates that money can change everything, in fact I think we have or have certainly found people who are very sensitive to money, whether they are stingy or change drastically when they have money, in my opinion that is something that It's natural because humans definitely have their own sense of selfishness and also the greed they definitely have, not wanting to share or being stingy can happen. Never mind getting a win at gambling, basically when they see something better then they might be interested in doing it and leaving the old thing behind. This is like the story you said, when the woman saw something else that was more reliable or maybe she thought it was good, so the woman left her partner who had been with her for 23 years, the old relationship changed and was destroyed because of the woman's greed and selfishness which did not can be controlled, I want to give advice but it seems like your friend can also improve. now I just hope the best for your friend and also for you.

I agree with you, indeed money can buy everything but not everything is about money. Of course, the most valuable asset is family, because when family relationships are destroyed due to problems that may indeed cause heartache for every family member, it will likely be difficult to rebuild the relationship for the better. Therefore, we must be able to prioritize family, maintain good relationships, and put aside selfishness, especially with rich people who tend to always fight over inheritance and this can sometimes lead to conflict. If we can put aside ego and greed, maybe everything will be under control.

Lol. Almost forgot about that side of the coin. Perfect that their pictures are posted. The guy has made himself a "nice ad" with that story. Now he is object of desire of lonely chicks. He is that sad romantic guy who was treated unfairly by fate. Instead of one toad, he can get 100 who are ready to feel sorry for him. That chick also got a nice tag on her face. Money tend to end, but she will always be remembered by greedy chick who dump guys for money. Good luck finding healthy relationship when she runs out of money :D Now the guys will be scared from her like from fire.

Money is everything and money can change anything including person attitude and mindset, I sure many people are willing to do anything to be able to get large amounts of money and this is not about greed but because of person's needs and ambitions to live decent life as expected desired.
Things like this should not happen and if couple gets big win from gambling then they should be able to use the money as well as possible to get decent life and be able to build household full of happiness.
But they each have the same ambition and this is part of the selfish attitude that arises from lack of mutual trust.
But being able to fight together and get decent life with partner until truly become family is an extraordinary achievement.

Moreover, I sure that each of them who gets the agreed part will just spend all the money to have fun or gamble again with the aim of getting bigger.
This is the attitude of most people when they succeed in getting money easily, they will also spend it more easily and quickly.

This is something very true, I know that money makes life easier, and it is very necessary, I think that when there is a relationship, there is a sharing between two people, a link, money is also an important part, because it is not You can live only on love, and this is something that must be considered, but seeing that there is so much time between two people, what is expected is that they cooperate with each other, to be present in the good times and the bad, the money goes and It comes, that is something that will always be like that, but when it comes to building a relationship, you should not put money before a relationship, nor should you prefer money before a person.

So when a couple separates because of money, there was simply no love there, if that happens then we have to thank God for taking people out of life, because if they didn't separate at that moment, perhaps they would have done so years later. and maybe the pain is worse.

Money cannot be above people, money represents many good things but it can also represent the worst thing a person can do to obtain it when they forget the principles of it.

If you officially have a partner and are in a relationship, in my opinion everything should go through together, the ups and downs should all go through together. when we have a problem, we have to face it together, not just leave one party behind, just like when we win if we gamble, there's no harm in enjoying the win together, but only a few people can share when they have a lot of money, because most of them If people have a lot of money, they will forget everything and start looking for new things.

If indeed they separated because of money, perhaps there really is no love there, even though there is, that is not the main thing, because there are also people who love us because of our possessions, not because of what we are. If indeed we get a certain amount of money suddenly, in my opinion, it would be better to use it wisely and together, after all, if we prioritize ego, it will end in a bad way. It is possible that later the person who left with the winnings will return to his partner when the winnings are finished.

That's how it should be, but since we are in a world where the most important values are forgotten, it is very difficult to accept something like that. For example, if you have a partner, you are supposed to be faithful to her and she is supposed to be faithful to you, and sometimes things become in deception, currently with all the liberalism that exists it is easier to sleep with a person just for sex than for love, and if that is at that level it is easier to have a relationship just for "money" than for anything else, then they look for an excuse and they end the relationship, then the ways of thinking are no longer like before which were more conservative even with more respect, the course of life and people's objectives have changed a lot, this does not mean that all women or men are like that, but there are few who actually remain with their values intact.

I am a person who has always thought about that, but we have to get out of our environment a little to see how there is so much debauchery, thus producing sexually transmitted diseases, it is difficult to find a person who wants a lasting relationship, family and to get ahead. two supporting each other.

If there is an associated interest such as money, it is much easier for it not to happen, due to the different ways of thinking that exist , which is why choosing the person with whom you will have a child is very difficult, because you never end up knowing them well , because Although you live with that person, nothing more than what happened to my friend is a worthy example of things, 23 years with a woman, an established family and most likely he went to the USA with Another person, just because Maybe he promised him many things related to money and comforts that he couldn't have here.

You said so.

For sure with that fortune, the guy will be desired by the other chicks while the woman will just have to enjoy herself and find some other guy on her own desiring to enjoy it together.

When money really talks, there can be a lot of things that can happen unexpectedly and if it's inside the relationship, you'll never know the whole nature of the woman of your love.  :-\

Yes the main point is as you said above that "money talks here", although basically the relationship has to end but it doesn't matter if both partners agree and agree to the separation, and they will be in a fair situation if before separating they share the money from the big jackpot winnings to be divided (50-50), but if not then obviously the one who doesn't get the money is the one who loses more. Basically, not everything can be solved with money but it is a fact that everything in life is usually easier if we have money, in any case.

I think this is a situation that can be made into a lesson when they can take lessons from this incident, as you said that with an incident like this then they can find out about the true nature of their partner, this is a good lesson before in the end they regret it when they have already established a relationship in a more serious direction such as a family. But on the other hand I still question about what the real motive is that makes the two of them separate, because supposedly getting a big jackpot is a happy situation for both of them, they can enjoy the money together with anything or even get married using the money, but if in the end separation is the choice then maybe I would say that one of them is too selfish.

Good thing that they are really that still new considering that they are already that dating and you have already seen its true nature on becoming that too greedy and doesnt mind about you on the time that you do
really have those kind of financial talks but considering that we are talking about millions on here then it is really that a normal that people would really be changing up considering that money would really be a
huge thing or factor that could really be able to save up someones life and of course it is really just that normal that there would really be those easy replacements or whatsoever.
It is really just that too sad to look at that people could change up in a snap once we do talk about big money on here.

We've been able to see different situations about gambling wins and those situations where people are really that into. Seeing this one not that usual
but also its not something impossible.

It's very annoying if we have a partner who loves us only because of our money. Of course, finances are important when you are married, and in my environment there are many women who work, while the men don't work, so women have almost complete power. A family relationship can indeed fall apart when finances are in chaos, including getting a lot of money. If they inflate each other's egos then the winner will be separation, but if they can control their respective egos it is likely that they will not separate.

even though one of them leaves with a large amount of money, but you have to remember of course everything can change, there is a possibility that the other party can become successful and when the one who brought the money has started to go bankrupt the money he brought has run out and the other party is already in financial freedom then it could be that he returns to the other party because his finances are starting to stabilize, but of course if that's the case, I myself won't accept his return, maybe by saying hello that's not a problem, but if it's to come back completely and re-establish family relationships that's not the case. Possible. That's the importance of respecting each other, if everything goes through together then no problems will occur, but indeed finances can turn someone into a stubborn person or even think only of themselves.

Yes, it’s generally a huge paradox that people are brought together by the lack of money, but the presence of money makes them move away from each other. Jackpot made each of them an independent person and this is wonderful. Also, money made them tell their true opinions about each other through their actions. It turns out that the jackpot is such an amazing psychological tool for identifying secret thoughts and intentions. It's a bit like alcohol, by the way. Only alcohol has a short-term effect, and the jackpot lasts until people spend it.

An interesting comparison you made about alcohol and money. And indeed the money revealed their true colors. When there is not enough money, in many parts of the world they live and survive thanks to the fact that they have created their own union such as a family. And even if they don’t really love each other, they support each other in difficult times and help them survive. In general, I thought that if all the couples in the world won money just like the heroes of our story, then probably 9 out of 10 couples would quarrel and break up. And the funny thing is that in the end they most likely will not find their happiness and after a while they will regret what they did, but you can’t get time back. Therefore, it is better to think about this in advance and not try to imagine a dream life, but rather appreciate what we have.

It is very funny to see someone dump her partner just because she won the lottery; this kind of situation can say a lot about herself. Maybe the man, luckily, dodged a bullet with that one. Looking at the situation, I think 50-50 should be the ideal split for both of them since both of them took part in or contributed to buying the winning ticket. I thought they were going smoothly with it, celebrating it, being happy with each other, and planning their future. Then, all of a sudden, the girl wanted the man to leave. What is the reason she would want it? Greed may be one of the reasons, but whatever the reason, it is kind of bad for your partner. Maybe three months of dating is still young, and their connection is not that deep, so that's why they end up in a situation like that.

All of that would not be a problem if they both really agreed with his decision to end the relationship and also I hope that they really share equally like 50-50 the results of the jackpot winnings each so that the situation is not one-sided. But in my opinion this is a pretty unfortunate situation, they should both be able to enjoy the money from the big win together by using it for things they like like like maybe buying tickets and going on vacation somewhere romantic or building a business like a business together or even they could use it to build a more serious relationship like to pay for the wedding.

But yes everyone has their own decisions, and honestly I don't know about who first invited to decide to separate, even though this should be a happy moment for both of them, but yes maybe there are other issues behind the winning money from the jackpot that makes them have to end the relationship, no one knows.

You are absolutely right, it's good that the women where you are have that thought, unfortunately the women who are in my environment and almost everywhere in the country think about making easy money, whether it's like tik tok doing really ridiculous things or looking for the so-called "suggar daddy" so that they can make their lives easier, so the environment here revolves a lot around interest in money, I would say that the values around here have been lost in the majority of young women, what you are talking about is the ideal, the that we are all looking for, but it is very difficult to find it, I don't know what women are like in Europe or something like that, here women hook up quickly because of how affectionate they are, how helpful and when you find a good woman they are "home" women who don't They are sexually libertinaje and they are well focused on what they want.

But money is not something that is not needed, because it is needed a lot, as I said before: Love without money does not last, you have to have money for Everything , but when the woman is good it does not matter if she has to go out to work because the man cannot for any reason, be it illness or something like that, they go out because they think as a couple, possibly as a family, they know that their partner will not fail them, and that is what they should look for, the money will always be there, it goes and It comes, one just has to look for it.

Winning a jackpot worth $1.9 million is an extraordinary thing, of course there are many pros and cons to the dollar value won.
* I have never experienced such a situation.
* For me 50/50 is not an obstacle, provided that where the main capital comes from, that is the main question......!
If the capital comes from me personally, of course I don't have the right to deduct 50/50, that's my authority, but if the main capital comes from my girlfriend, of course she has the right to get that, there doesn't have to be another sequence.
* The ego is maintained if the situation is like what I said above.
* Solving problem.
1. Discuss the point of the problem first, then deal with and resolve the problems that occur.
The problem will be resolved if the initial problem point and cause are found.
If the jackpot situation is won by your boyfriend, of course he has the right and vice versa.

Money is the root of all evil and women are moves by this thing. I don't blame the women though, the society has makes money a priority for them to like the men that has the women but the moment they start making their own money, they begin to show their true color how they can be independent without anyone. That's exactly what this lady just displayed to the man after winning the jackpot, sadly she will end up spending all of that in materialistic things.

This should never be a thing of woman or a man but I think when a person win money from gambling, a life changing money, it should never cross your mind that he is going to bless you from his jackpot, doing this will relief you from any embarrassment like this. If the man doesn't eye on the money despite when wasn't even considerate, who knows if the relationship might still be alive.

That's just the reality of most people in this world, while others in the best way of their life, they won't recognize who is true to them and who is not because they can see all of them are their friends and once they lose all of that, only real ones remained. that's why when you have some huge fortune with you, you are recommended not to let others know because once they have access to it, they will eventually change and take that fortune from you in any way shape or form no matter how close you are to them when it comes to money, blood won't get thicker and you need to keep it to yourself in secret in order to save your relations.

Yeah, they will be in fair situation but whoever loves the other is the loser here. Because he or she wasn't expecting a split up after the jackpot has been won.

I've seen a lot of relationships fallen apart with various reasons even they've been together for so long. You can't really tell what can happen and it might be finances issues or just you're not clicking together even if you try to do it with various agreements.

They can be married together but they have to cut their ties as early as that moment of breaking up when someone already shown the true them.

Money is very important in anything we are doing. We should be ready for the mere changes in people that were once poor or averagely comfortable and now they are rich. Change is constant and we need to be ready to embrace it. If we want to keep making money in gambling, there are some certain risks we should be prepared for so we can keep making profits from the market. It is not easy for us to keep hustling and getting results, and when we get results we need  to embrace some certain persons in our life that had been of help for us some we can keep hustling and bringing good people to our surroundings.

Ypu would be surprised but this happens more often than people would expect.  A lot of people feel stuck together and once financially free they split.  The biggest issue that they don't realize is lawyers are going going to suck a lot of this up.  With money comes good lawyers.  Amd good lawyers are expensive.  Shame really but I guess in the end it's better than being stuck with someone you don't care to be around.

Totally sad on which people are really that been changed up by money and this is something which it isnt really that shocking and for those who do love that someone and not really that going for the money then it is really just that a sad situation because no one would really be expecting that particular love ones would really be exchanging out your relationship for the money. Actually if you do try to look into the situation on which if the guy didnt really have the time to argue and just simply accept out that he doesnt have any part or allocation or right for the said amount or winnings then everything would be went smooth because if we do tend to look on legal means on which there's no way that he could really be able to win up because we've seen that the money been spent to buy that ticket owns by that woman so it would be normal that he
have the full rights.

Greed could changed up people instantly specially we are talking about millions on here then it wont really be that shocking that people do changed up their treatment specially
if argumentations been made about allocation or on whose the right with those funds but if this one talks about married people then it wont really be that an issue.

That's why gamblers should avoid being greedy because it happens to everybody and not just them but also investors. But when it's about relationships and money, this is where many don't agree because at the same time, they've got some plans on their heads to be done alone.

When someone figures that out, the doubt comes in and they don't have to do many talks confirming their thoughts and desires on how they'd use the money for the benefit of both party that's inside that relationship.

So, a reminder to all that are in a relationship to take care of each other whether with money matters or not but I think married couples are an exemption because they've been through a lot and they ended up marrying each other.

When someone gets instant money or a lot of money at once (like a Jackpot or lottery), the priorities and the nature of the person usually change. Some people who are considered to be good, become bad or selfish all of a sudden. There may be few who remain good or become more better after getting a lot of money, but the majority of the people will give priority to money over anything else.


In an ideal situation, if a couple or good friends get money, it should result in a closer bond between them but this does not happen in reality. People want to get more money and they will try to find every reason to make the other person believe that they are the one who deserves this money and this thought will not only make you greedy but it will just get the relationship disturbed to such an extent that they may break forever.

That's for people who thinks about their relationship but many people becomes not comfortable to still close bond because they will see what their couple after they winning much money. Many times, personal attitude will change because of money and that makes relationship between two people will impact because of their attitude and else. One of them can becomes greedy and wants to posses their couple's money so they can do many things to have that money. Instead  having a bad relations with their couple, they decided to separate and used their money for their lives. It's a good decision for them so they don't have to feels a bad experience.

Come to think that even married people would really be having that kind of potential problem when it comes to money on where they do end up on having a divorce just on some small issues.
How much more if they would really be talking about millions? If the other one would really be  that greedy then for sure it would be ending up on having those legal sues on who have the rights
on the money that had won. Human beings are indeed naturally greedy and if you have a partner on which it is really that greedy then you would really be having such huge problem.

The situation stated on OP is indeed not that much of something in concern since they are just new. Just like been said that it is really just that sad that both did end up on
having those legal issues and throwing those words and everything just for the sake of money. Yes, its big but you have wasted your relationship just for the sake of money
on which i could say that money isnt everything but well, people are naturally greedy as i say.

It's tempting to assume greed, a sudden hunger for a bigger slice of the pie. But maybe there's more to it. Perhaps the intense shared focus on the win masked deeper issues. Now, with the goal achieved, those cracks start to show. Maybe one partner harbors a secret dream, an aspiration the shared pursuit put on hold. Or perhaps the pressure of the chase strained their communication, leaving unspoken resentments festering.

A split might seem like the easy way out, but it's worth exploring the "why" before they walk separate paths.  Imagine a therapist acting as a neutral space, encouraging open communication. By understanding each other's desires and anxieties, they might rediscover the foundation of their partnership. Remember, a win can be a magnifying glass, revealing both the strength and fragility of a relationship.  Perhaps with honest conversation and a renewed sense of shared purpose, they can rewrite the ending.  They might decide to use their newfound resources to pursue individual dreams, but as a team, supporting each other's journeys.

On the other hand I don't know who is right and wrong between the two people, but certainly yes they should not have made the decision to separate in the midst of what should have been a happy situation for both of them, and I am sure that it seems that one of these couples is too selfish and claims unilaterally about the money from his winnings so that maybe it becomes a problem that ultimately leads to separation.

The fact is that we can't measure the longevity of a relationship by how long they've been together, I think it's happened so often, that I've even heard of couples who've been dating for up to 10 years but they've had to end up splitting up instead of coming together to reach a marriage decision, Of course anything can happen along the way especially some unforeseen problems that can eventually lead to a breakup in a relationship, and from this incident I agree with you that this is actually a pretty good situation for both of them by deciding to separate because they already know about each other's true nature before finally entering into a more serious level such as marriage.

Very funny indeed. This is a clear indication that said couple were never meant for each other. They were only dating themselves because they never have money. Now they do, they want to date and marry someone better of their choice they dream to spend the rest of their lives with.

That's the habit of the most being. They act cool and cheerful to their fellow being when they don't have money. By the time their account begins to count in millions, they separate themselves from old friends, to begin to make new friends they will like to mingle with.

It should not surprise anyone, the most common stated reason for divorce is not infidelity but monetary reasons, and unsurprisingly many more people remain together because divorce is too expensive and they cannot afford it, so whenever some windfall money comes around the couple immediately splits, however since we are talking about a lot of money here, this particular split will need hiring lawyers and a great deal of money will be lost just on paying their wages.

Yeah, I remember now that there are a lot of couples and married people that if it's about money, they're forgetting who they are and what they've been through.

I even saw stories about partners that had to do something disgusting just to get the insurance benefit from their lovers.

We can't do anything with that, even if you say that they shouldn't made a decision to split up and save their relationship, no can do.

They've already decided and there's no one that can stop them when everyone has finally decided and that's how it goes for the journey of being together.

You haven't narrated anything real about how they were married, what the condition of their marriage was, where they reside and if they had kids together -- but I'll simply say that on the jurisdiction of the Court, intervention beyond all odds would be made in splitting the winning between them, according to their jurisdiction...

---

That's a big problem. One of parties could decide to abscond with the said funds (if it's in their custody) and the story will surely become a different one. AGAIN, I don't think there's any legal tiedown over the funds unless they wanna decide to not fuck around .

When I first came across this thread, I felt they were married but this is just too people dating and nothing more. These ain’t couples as, couples are by bonds and vows one, there wouldn’t have been any need for a split but a judicious use of the win for family plans and financing.

Money remains the one thing that could come between two people, even in the best of friendships, relationships and even marriage. Worst still, a 3 months relationship. That’s practically nothing and doesn’t mean much as it’s been proven by this issue of a win of this magnitude. Couples wouldn’t do this!

This maybe true to some extent that that couple was not sincere to each other and once the money was introduced between them, the greediness took over all the relationship between them and they parted their ways. Do this experiment with 1000 people and 90% of those people will go for the money without caring about the family and relationships. People think that with money they can create new relationships but relationships can't be any good without money. This is more like a selfish behavior :o

My question to everyone here:-

Would you prefer to leave your relationship for money or will find a way to sacrifice the money for the partner but keep the relationship bond strong  ???

I also think like that, this is not a marriage, maybe what you say is true is a relationship between close friends or just friends, but in this world nothing is impossible for someone, because currently there are many factors related to separation in a marriage . marriage is financially based, but what is strange to me in this thread is why after hitting the jackpot together this couple continues to end their relationship? they should enjoy the victory together.
This is really very strange for me personally.

Even friends disintegrates because of money tussle so it just very bad that some people have given so much value to money more than their relationship with others and if you enquire from this both couples their reasons for splitting you would find out that it may just be as a result of one among them trying to have a larger share of the amount being won.

Even if they decide to share the money equally it still doesn't change anything because some people just enters into a relationship due to the financial benefits they get from the other person and not as a result of love so in a situation whereby such opportunity of this nature comes up, you see them filing for a divorce or seeking for a split because they feel that their intention for entering into that relationship have been met.

That's right, both parties claim that they are in the right and should get full rights to the reward, so the best solution to resolve this problem is to take it to court and let the judge determine how to distribute the reward according to the law. Because if they insist like that there will be no end - each of them insists on the other and this will only make things worse and might even lead to violence.

Firstly you should know why there was split just after the win and who’s at fault( though who’s at fault doesn’t really matter at some point) but just know what lead to the splitting.
I’m a type of person that wouldn’t let money come between my friendship not to talk more of marriage, so I try as much as possible to stay very careful while dealing with money and personally, I will suggest the money to be shared 50/50 because that’s exactly what I would do if I was in that same position.

Secondly, we also need to consider who played and won the game, if it was a singular or collective effort and if it was a Single effort, then I think the player has every single right to decide how to spend the money if to give to the next person or not and I don’t think there should be any consequences to that.

No, I have never been in a situation like this because I have never won a lottery or other prize that must be shared with other people, but if I experienced this, I would willingly share it and that's how it should be.

Money can change a person's feelings, even love can disappear in an instant and those who ignore their partner just because of money will receive karma soon.
I don't have any solution to this problem other than forgetting about it and starting something new because trying to get a share of the lottery winnings is not an easy thing, it could even be a waste of time and energy, whereas we can use that time and energy to make other money.

Well, let me just say that having kids in marriage is definitely one thing that actually strengthens a marriage, most especially when the man sincerely and genuinely love his kids and don't want them to grow up without him, and the woman also sincerely and genuinely love her kids and don't want them to grow up without her,  I know this because being married myself since 2015, with three kids already, I and my wife would have splitted and gone our separate ways a long time ago, but our sincere and genuine love for our kids have kept us together regardless of our differences.

So, personally, I assume the couple in question do not have any kids, if they had, the kids would have also being brought into the picture (this discussion).
But regardless of whether they have kids or not, or what type of marriage they were into, or what ever jurisdiction they are from, the truth is remains that, either this couple were never married, but just living together, or they never loved each other, for if they were married and actually loved each other, the entrance of that money shock have created a stronger bond between them both, not separate them.

It's unfortunate that the couple split after winning a jackpot. Splitting the prize equally is the best solution for their situation. 50/50 share will help prevent tension and stress for both, and of course, there will be fairness and avoid conflicts. It's better to find mutually agreeable resolutions than have ego battles since it rarely leads to positive outcomes. Always maintain calm, be fair and have communication.

yeah, truly unfortunate and actually almost all the people here on the forum have already given advice similar to what you said, that it should be done through a smooth and calm conversation and if it happens to break up, since both of you are eligible for the money, it is better that 50 /50 is to be divided, but it really depends on a person and to their attitude, because there are other people who once hold a big chunk of money, their attitude and dealings with other people change.

That is proof that money can change a person's attitude or behavior when they get a lot of money, this accidentally happened to a couple and got the biggest jackpot in his life so that both of them forgot themselves and unfortunately enough had to separate because they got the money.

But I'm pretty sure the core problem is not that simple, there must be other problems between the two such as different opinions or in the use of the money they get for things that both have different desires and the amount is not small, both are selfish and better divided and choose to separate, maybe that's what happened behind the couple.

Money can change everything and this is why it would really be always important that you should really be choosing up that someone who isnt greedy but well knowing it beforehand would really be impossible.
This is why it would really be that better that if you do see up some signs that your partner is somewhat having that kind of greedy approach then i would definitely be trying out to observe it out.
Although not all would really be ended up on the same fate on which there would really be those people would really be still loving their partners despite of these issues but actually
this isnt an amount that could really be that easily be neglected on, people would really be reacting with that million dollars.  :D

Yes, basically it is true that we cannot do anything about these situations and conditions because indeed everyone has a different mindset and maybe the couple has something without us knowing that ultimately makes them have to end the relationship in the midst of happiness after successfully hitting the big jackpot, on the other hand I do not suggest or force them about what they should do but maybe this is a situation and condition that is quite unfortunate.

So maybe the rest of us can only take lessons from this incident that indeed unexpected things have the potential and possibility of anything to happen as experienced by this couple who suddenly had to choose to break up their relationship, but yes after all everyone has their own choices and maybe they chose this decision because it was the best for them to choose in addition to the real problems that we don't know.

To be honest when I read the title, I thought the couple were married. From the story, they have only been dating for about three months, that’s not enough time to build commitment to someone, it is not surprisingly that money came between the couple. The boyfriend has no legal right to the money, we can’t blame the lottery company for awarding the prize money to the woman alone.

If he provided the money to purchase the ticket its an arguable case I guess, its quite unfortunate and pathetic a situation.   Really I would decide by whoever paid for the ticket whether it gets split or not and even that could be hard to decide.    Regardless if I were the ticket holder in this case I would have given him at least 5% of the winnings just to settle it and get a signature for that payment but yea no chance of a relationship after this and its quite ironic what money can do in that respect.

Always remember, if we discuss money then we will find an enemy, whether it is our friends, our family or even our loved ones.  i'm 100% sure there must be something that makes them end up enemies, they definitely have different opinions, here we won't know who is actually at fault but if they really met because of gambling then surely both of them have a nature that really loves money and definitely doesn't will give in.  the best way to resolve disputes about money is to meet in court.

Money can indeed be a contentious issue that can create tensions that escalate into conflicts. Differences in financial opinions, values, and behaviors can create tensions that can result in estrangement or enmity. When disputes arise, especially those related to significant financial matters such as gambling, both parties may feel strongly about their positions and unwilling to compromise.

The court system is an option for resolving financial disputes, but the proceedings can be lengthy, costly, and emotionally draining. The adversarial nature of litigation can further strain relationships and lead to long-lasting animosity. Resolving disputes about money requires a willingness to listen, compromise, and prioritize the preservation of relationships over financial disagreements. Legal action may be necessary in some cases, it's better to construct effective communication, empathy, and a willingness to find common ground.

Even if you are right, we also know that greed allows you to see the true nature of people, and it is obvious that this couple has decided to fight out in court with all their resources to get the most they can out of this prize money, which is a shame as they could have easily split the money in half and each take their own path on life, but because of that money, now they will have to fight a long time on court, and the ones which will benefit the most out of that prize money are the lawyers that represent them.

It is very unfortunate that this woman an the man has reached these levels, when that money should have been a blessing for everything, for their relationship and for anything or project they had planned together, it is clear that money changes people, certain people. , but that's why money can't be everything in life, instead of fighting for money in courts and lawyers with judges and everything, they should be traveling the world, both eating, enjoying themselves and seeing that things are beautiful So between the two, she would probably have gotten pregnant, they were expecting a baby, and what a blessing she would be with that, because with that money she has to put her son through college, so things can be seen like that, for me it means a waste of time If they are fighting for money like they are doing, they are missing out on many good things if they were taking advantage of that money. In fact, sometimes people are so lucky that they get scared or run away making the worst mistakes of their lives.

Totally really sad that they do really come up into this kind of situation on which they do break their relationship just because of money on which i could tell that both have their own mistakes on why
this thing do really ends up on this way. They are trying out to claim something a portion of such winning and the other one wants really to have it all since its her funds that had been used.
On the time that there are those conflicts then this is where they do really show up their true colors about for the love of money or simply they are really just that too greedy.

Somehow in speaking about on the amount that we are talking on here which it is really that millions then usually people do really changed up instantly when it comes to this aspect.
Not all would really be able to get a hold of this kind of amount into their rest of their lives and since they are still that new in their relationship then this is
something that would really be that so simple to break just for the sake on getting those prizes in one whole lump sum. lol

Basically they are no longer harmonious, because they no longer have one direction, one perception and one goal. So it will be quite difficult for couples to continue their relationship well. Moreover, this couple received quite a large prize from their betting activities, with this money they were able to let go of their dependence on each other. and living alone is not a problem for him because he has enough money beside him. And dividing the money evenly is the best solution. but it was very unfortunate, just because of greed, instead of the money being able to provide happiness, the money they got only caused chaos which further complicated their relationship. And in the end, instead of them being able to enjoy the money for fun, the money is actually used up for court costs and to pay lawyers. Really stupid....

You are right, sometimes when people are starting a relationship and this is presented to them, it is an indication that everything was going to turn out very well for them, if at the beginning they were able to find that fortune, then they must have thought that whatever they set out to do they would achieve it. However, almost all people in the world are like that, they change with money and that is something they cannot avoid, I also understand the point you make, that there is so much money that it is very difficult for anyone to have it in their life, so These kinds of things are what have made things look so ugly and have caused fights.

Sometimes I don't like fighting for money , the only way is for someone to try to take what Belongs to you, or for someone to scam you, that's why it would be the only thing I would fight, or for something unfair, these types of things are what one As a player you must take care.

Just as you have rightly mentioned,  greed is at play I both couples and there is high chances also that they already hard a stray relationship because if everything where to be good between the couples they should have been able to work things out within themselves and even if they will have a joint account for such an amount and split I within them later it could have been more mature.

Also from the story, we already know that the woman stated that the money used to purchase the ticke was her money and for sure she will definitely claim the money but at the end the man also will be legally entitled to some percents of that money being involved in the lottery process that leads to the winning.

While they sure had their own share of problems, I really think that if the amount of money is high enough, that can be more than enough to ruin a good relationship, after all if a person found out that their partner wanted to keep all of that money for themselves and not share anything with them, then they have the right to be mad about it, however on this particular case it is going to be an uphill battle for the boyfriend as it seems that legally that money belongs only to her.

Ops is there any update on the case, because this topic seems to attract alot of comments and discussions that will become more interesting if we can have update on the case, have the couple finally agreed on a sharing formula or they are still at a longer head with fights over who get what and how much the each get, I believe by now there should already be enjoying the money and making peace within because for me they both luck shine and that is why they won the jackpot on the first place.

I have asked several friends about this, and they tell me no, that they will never prefer money to their partners, but it is one thing to say it and another very different thing is to be there and see how things are, some women They don't think about it, at least where I live many want to find older people so that they don't work or anything, of course they are few, but there are some, so this is something that can be very different and according to the training that has been given to a person in particular, it changes, because there are women who are actually very valuable and have many good things, and those women who are like that are quite difficult to get, so that's why I say in life Finding a Partner is a lottery, It is not known what they may date as time Goes by , the cases can be very Different when they are considered in terms of a couple, in the case of OP I think that there is no love and there Never was love.

I am also interested if there are updates about this. Because the interesting part is that money have split their relationship and we can all have that conclusion that their relationship is capitalized by money and any amount that's involved on this jackpot. Well, if I am one of the party and my partner wants to split because of that money, I'd give it to her and that have saved me from being tied up in my lifetime!

Some marriages that are working today, because either or both partners doesn't have money and that's why when money comes, that's the time you see the true nature of most marriage partners. So if a couple after winning a jackpot decides to go their separate ways, it simply means that the marriage wasn't built on genuine love rather either of them was trying to be surviving on each other or both parties needed the company of each other to survive which is why they decided to split since they now know that they can survive without the help if each other with the money they got from  the jackpot. Legal officers are always happy to get involved in such cases because since a huge sum of money is involved, they'll also walk away with a reasonable amount of money at the end of the whole legal proceedings.

The zen way to be about a situation like this is grateful for the immediate clarity the lost lotto money brings.  This was someone you might have lost money in a divorce to if accidentally missing the fact that the cash was more important then any other consideration in the relationship.  To be fair to the winning partner in this argument it could also be quite coincidental that the relationship was already over by the time of the win and it made no difference in the end, it sure looks like that was not the case but its also possible that just the timing was off.

There are no updates yet apparently. The woman is probably preparing her defense as we speak since I don't think she will be sharing the money unless she was obliged to do so. She is the only recognized winner according to the lottery office terms after all and it will be the court who will decide if the guy deserves a share of the jackpot. This case could take a year or more depending on the country's legal process.

Well, if that's the matter then the guy just have to let it go and all the money will go to the woman. But that's what the man don't want to happen and if they're truly split already and their relationship can't go back. It's just best for them to have a talk as going to courts with this matters will take a lot of time and as well as money from them. Although the money is no longer an issue to them as they'd just deduct any expenses from the jackpot they've won.

That might not apply to most couples but yes, some couples are married but they would have clashes and fights and might even get separated if one of them manages to get rich all of a sudden either by winning a lottery or by any means. Such couples are never in love with each other but are living with each other and dragging the relationship as a compromise, and as soon as one of them finds an opportunity they can use, they won't leave it.

However, you will also find couples that would never do such a thing. If one of them manages to get a significant amount of money, they would think of doing everything for both of them because they don't want to get separate but to have a better life together. If someone is with you in your hardships, they deserve all the luxuries once you are capable of providing them that.

I really think that the number of couples that would split over an event like this is way higher than what we may believe, it is just that it is very odd for those opportunities to present themselves that could allow a couple to get such level of wealth so suddenly, however in this particular case I feel sorry for the boyfriend since it is really unlikely he will get a dime out of this, even if it was his idea to buy those lottery tickets to begin with.

The boyfriend is the loser, because his girlfriend does not consider him worthy of her, and to share from her wins. I don't know what could have warrant to her actions, but it is common within females. Whatever funds belonging to the man is for the two of them, but whatever funds that bongs to her, is for her alone, excluding the man.

I don't know why they are like that. This is why a relationship should be based on love and not on personal interests, so that whatever belongs to any of the couples is for both of them.

From what I saw in general, they both don't really love each other as partners; it's like they're just playing with each other's relationships; their only intention is to date each other. And if I look at the two who really should own what was won, I think it's the woman.

Because the bank account that was used was her money, and the man or her boyfriend just had a clue because she did such a thing with the money. First, the man became greedy there, and I don't see anything that developed greed towards the woman. Because of the man's behavior, the woman saw that the man's behavior was not good. Maybe so that there would be no trouble, the woman just gave in to the man even though she knew him, or he thinks that he really has more right to the ticket.

It was just sad that in the end they went their relationship ended up because of money.

Forget about them getting back together since "love" is of little to no value when they started arguing whether they should split or not. Another thing is that someone is clearly lying. It's all about the money.

Sounds about right hehe. It's like the traditional role of the man to provide while the woman extracts.

They are not legally recognized as a couple though.

It's only greed that will make one side of the party disagree with 50/50 sharing. If not, the best thing to do in order for them to end everything amicably is to follow the guy's suggestion, which is to split the funds 50/50.
 
No one is going to lose anything, and at the end of the day, everyone will have a fair share that they could use to get themselves something worthy of the money. 
 
Both of them going sideways might rally not just because of the money they won from the jackpot; money that can just be shared among them is not supposed to bring an issue that will set them apart.

I guess it also does in many people in our day to day lives. Specifically with money, when we deal with our co-workers or our love ones about the money. The mood changes in the conversation. Money is something like would changes someone's behavior and will reveal their true colors and personality. Sad thing is, just like the couple, many people changes their intention only to the money and disregard everything to that. That is the worst.

It's the fear of losing that money and greed to have that money. Instead they get rid of their relationship.

Even if Michael Cartlidge sent the money, it was Charlotte Cox who purchased the lottery ticket. Unless Mr.Cartlidge can show proof that he and Cox had an agreement to split the prize money prior to the draw, there is no chance that he will get any amount out of it. At the most, he can file a civil suit against Cox, but even then I am not sure how it is going to help him. His only chance is in case of an out of court settlement, in which Cox maybe ready to part with 10% or 20% of the winnings, just to avoid the nuisance of legal battle. 

There are people who believe that money is evil and can transform people, but I believe it is the opposite, money is a simple means that amplifies what people already are. If someone is selfish and greedy, give them money and they will become even more so.


To begin with, I believe that there was no real love in that couple. Just look at the fact that they are both overweight and don't look particularly handsome either. Surely it happened as it often happens that people get together with the one they have at hand to avoid being alone, but with people in love who plan to spend the rest of their lives together, this would not have happened.

Things as they are, I think it's most likely that what you say will happen. Lawsuits are expensive, and a settlement for a small percentage could avoid the trial and settle the matter.

True, money could changed up someone instantly no matter how you do love a person or whats your relationship with them and when that greed kicks in then you wont really be caring about that matter.
It is really just that sad that there are really those relationships that had been busted or broken because of too much greed on a certain individual on which they are really that giving priority on the money that they could get and not on cherishing on the relation that they do have but instead they would really be that giving priority when it comes to money which this proves out on how greedy bastard a certain human being could be.

Since this one isnt a couple who are married then there would really be no issues in between this one, it is really just that a waste that someone is dating but because of money they have split out.
Having that kind of suing on whose the one have the rights on the said amount.It is really just that proving out that we are really just that greedy.
Million dollars for your loved ones? Well this is the sad reality.

Money can destroy any relationship but it depends on how strong the relationship is. There are also many couples out there who are having financial problems, but I have rarely seen them able to let go of each other for money. This kind of issue can be discussed properly, but since this couple is new and has only been together for months, for sure they don't know each other's behavior that well yet. that's a good thing, right? at least while it's still early, they know each other's behavior right away, because it's hard when a couple is already married, that's a different story.

Money... messes with people's brains, man. It can transform someone you thought was decent into a cold, greedy stranger. It's messed up to see, especially when it starts tearing apart relationships. You're not kidding when you say it's a reality check

See, we humans like to think we're complex, but at the end of the day, some pretty basic instincts take over. Money whispers promises, and a lot of folks can't resist the song. It shows us an ugly truth: that sometimes, whether they admit it or not, people's values and character go out the window when big bucks come into play

What you're describing, this unmarried couple fighting about money? It's heartbreaking and pathetic at the same time. Forget the legal side; this is a question of principle. Can you really put a price on the connection you share with someone? In a world where people are willing to throw away love for money, that's a sign of a deep, spiritual poverty. Kinda makes you rethink things, doesn't it?

Yeah, whatever it is then it's always about the money and when it talks, relationships are ending and whoever is the one that has the advantage of taking huge part, they'd surely go down and far just to take what's for them. This isn't the first time, we'd see more of these stories in the nearest future.

        -   It's sad to think about, but what you say is true, mate. Money can change people's mood. Just like that couple who were able to sacrifice their relationship just because of money.
Does that mean they both got greedy? Well, I guess, yes, they both got really greedy.

Think about it: because of the money won, their relationship became useless and trash; not even one of them showed the importance of the relationship formed between their two partners. Right?

Money can change people and it can affect a lot of people in unexpected ways. Imagine if you've been working an average job for 20 years, just paying down the mortgage or rent each month as you grind through life. Then you walk in to a million, or ten, through a freak jackpot winning. All the barriers that you've had ringfencing your life in for all that time crumble down and you can suddenly ditch your job to do anything you like for the rest of your life. Some people will completely change in that scenario and it's somewhat understandable. If you're in a couple, it's really going to bring out your true colors and show things that you might have been hiding or minimizing in all your time together.

This is a very serious issue but no problem is without solution. From the narrative they were not married and just were t the fiancee level. And because of the winning they want to split to their ways then I suggest 50/50 because one person provide the money and the other person use it to win the jackpot. Therefore everyone contributed to the winning of the money. But if that scenario was in African couple the person that use the money to win the jackpot would have taken all.
And because of all these things people are saying that "poverty is a dieses". If they're having money on their own they wouldn't fight because of $1,9 million. And since no of them have not seen such amount of money then everyone would like to take it and start new life. And to avoid dispute which has already happened they should divide it into two and let everyone go on their way.

Both are greedy. Why? The woman tends to get the whole share or the said winnings and the man would really be tending to get some share too just because he's the one who bought the ticket, but it is on that womans money which been used. If we do talk about legal aspects then the woman does have the full rights of the said winning because its her money been used but talking about ethical approach on which both
shouldnt really be ending up on something like this because money isnt something that worth to have that kind of decisions to be made. They might be new in dating but doesnt mean that they are separating
because of the money that had been won. They are really just that too greedy both because they had ended up on the same situation or approach on which this do really shows that money
is the most important thing in life.

I know a case similar to the one discussed here, but they won a Play Station, not the jackpot.

The young couple won the console like a week and a half after the man had spent all his little savings to buy an identical one for him. So after winning the new one, he wanted to sell it and share 50/50 with his girlfriend, because this way he'd recover part of the savings he'd spent and she would also win some money. But the girlfriend argued that he already had a new Play Station, and the fairest solution was that she kept the PS so they'd have one console each.

In the end they sold it and shared the money, but a few months later she left him, among other things, because "he was so selfish..." ::)

What do you think about this case? was the act of selling the PS and sharing the money fair, or miserable?

Reading the story I get to shake my head in utter disgust how this people were referred to as couples because from all indication with the whole saga playing out from the moment the money was won it entails that they were just friends with benefits, nothing of the attributes of loving couples can be associated to their behavior here.

This is a case they can both solve amicably without needing the intervention of the court on the matter but if it goes that way a lawyer somewhere will go hungry  out of a law suit despite who's in the favourite wing of winning the case. So my sure guess is that there could be some lawyer behind the story that are instigating the matter to get to court. Else, why can't they just split it 50/50 or 60/40 as they have earlier agreed. Why the later change of mind.

They have changed because they let it happen but yeah, that is a very usual thing to expect from a person who wins a big amount of money. But I believe that it was not only the money that caused their breakups, probably for another reason that only happens after winning the jackpot prize. Maybe if they had never won that prize, they'd be still together. But unfortunately, some things never work with money alone especially when our problem does not involve with money. Like if we need time together, money can't solve it or maybe, after the couple wins the jackpot prize, one of them becomes too addicted to gambling and spares no time with the family which is probably the main issue.

Money is everything, it might not be true all the time but this one is always been the standard and this is something that could changed up someones mind instantly and this is really that reality.
This isnt really jus that limited to gambling but also in other situations in life as well on which it would really be that something that pertain about greed on which someone could really changed up on point
as long they could really be able to get that kind of benefit or a life changing situation or simply talking about money then they would really be having those on point or drastic changes on which
you cant even believe into your own eyes but it do can actually happen in real life and example such as this.

We do know that when it comes to money then everyone could really changed  up as long they could really be able to experience that lavish life due to lots of money
that they havent been able to experience into their lives ever. Even if it means that leaving that you do love is something that you would definitely do for the sake of money.

That's normal thing happens to many people. When they can gets much money from any where and that's a free money, they will changed and will not thinks hard like before. They can do whatever they wants and buy many things they wants because they now have that much money We never knows what's their real reason but if they thinks that better decision for them, we can only let them do that. After all, they knows what they doing and the risks behind their decision so they will not bother if they separate. Maybe money can solve their lives matter but we don't knows exactly what inside of their relationship so we can only see from the outside. We can hope they will be fine after they separate and can lives better because they now have much money have a better life.

I suspect that there is no love between these two friends. You will always like to be with someone you love with or without money. And splitting the money with someone you cherish shouldn't be a problem because you want the person's happiness and comfort. However, this is a clear story of how money can change people overnight. From the picture, we could see them enjoying themselves as lovebirds but money changed everything. The problem is that the woman is not willing to give his ex-boyfriend anything which might be why the man is angry and is considering taking legal action.

His only blunder.was that he didn't transfer the money to his ex on time and I suspect he had no intention of doing that and only sent the money when he saw that she had won the jackpot. The lady might see this action as deceptive and therefore want to get rid of him. I will advise the man to move on with his life since the law recognizes only one winner and the person whose name is on the back of the ticket. This is not the end of the world. As long as there is life, there is always hope.

It’s a tough situation, but I agree with the idea of splitting the prize 50/50. It seems like the fairest approach, helping to avoid further tension and potentially bitter disputes that could drag on and cause emotional stress for both parties.

In a situation like this, clinging to an ego battle doesn’t help anyone. It’s important to stay calm and approach the situation with fairness. The goal should be to resolve the matter in a way that respects both individuals’ contributions and feelings, regardless of the relationship’s current status. Getting entangled in a prolonged conflict over money can sour memories of what could have been a joyful moment together and lead to unnecessary stress and animosity.

If I were in this situation, my priority would be to have an open and honest conversation about how to split the winnings. It’s crucial to approach such discussions with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to listen, rather than just asserting one’s own desires. Legal advice might also be valuable to ensure that the agreement is fair and binding, preventing future disputes.

After that win they will split because they don't have the true love in Their heart and also the reason what they split is that they don't contented on what they have right know. As we all know that once you are contented and you have a true love on your partner then in the better time and worst time you will be together no matter what happen. And that is a bad thing once you are interning in a relationship you need to be matured enough so that you can't break someone's heart. But that is Their decision they are playing in gambling won so it's up to them how they handle Their situation.

Anything related to money is always sensitive, it doesn't only apply to couples, but also families can fight just because of money, that's why we need a commitment not to share money with anyone, even if it's someone closest to us, like this, we shouldn't gamble with our partner. We should at least separate the money from our money so that undesirable things don't happen, let alone winning the Jackpot and then with a large amount of money, the two end up being separated because of that money.

Everyone will never be free from greedy behavior, therefore if they don't have a commitment it will be difficult to control it. Many couples have problems just because they didn't commit from the start that whatever income they generate together must be shared fairly, but sometimes they won't accept the results. correctly, after all, gambling doesn't have to be with our partner, just focus on the gambling we are playing, don't invite anyone to join in betting on the bets we are playing because it will be troublesome if you win the jackpot but there is other people's money there, obviously it will be difficult to share it and it will definitely happen Prolonged conflict if it happens, gamble for yourself better and use your own money the most correct thing

if it were me, I’d say, “Keep the cash, I’ll take the good vibes” 8) Handling it?
Because in true relationships, where love and respect are the foundation, questions of this nature really shouldn't come up. After all, this money stays within the family.

Well, this is a good moral to show that many people prefer money over finding love, I don't know, many people who have a lot of money always look for love and don't find it, when they can have both, they demand it. money, honestly human beings are very uncomfortable, I understand that you always want to find the best of the best, but what is always done so that you can establish something good is very bad, sometimes I have seen that people who have so much money do not They can be happy, and money doesn't buy certain things, like health, life, money helps a lot, in fact it gets us out of trouble at any time, but the issue here is that money sometimes ends up with many things. itself. because of greed, it is something very sad.

It is obvious this is not happening, if that was the case then the split would not have happened or at least it could have taken place on friendly terms, but one side decided they wanted all the money for themselves, and the law is on their side for what I can tell, so it is obvious the other party is not going to be happy about this and will look for any legal recourse to try to get what they consider to be fair, so something which could have been solved in a matter of minutes, will now take years and a lot of money to resolve.

Its really funny, the problem here is "I want to be in charge" if the couple had understanding I think this is means by which there needs would have being sorted out rather than having conflict issues. The Man would want to control, the woman would want a fair share which shows the insensitivity portray by both parties.

As Greed doesn't die in Human, this are situations that might arise. No one between both of them deserves any share more than the other, you both played as a couple hoping to win by chance, you guys won..what's the disagreement about a again, lol.

In a nutshell, ensure you choose the right partner, and if you want to gamble do it yourself don't involve anyone to get your 100% win.
