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.

So what is your thoughts on this, 50/50 good for you or nah?

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.

Will you insist to have an ego battle if you are on the same situation?

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.

[borovichok]

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.

[joniboini]

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.

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

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.

[Frankolala]

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

[goldkingcoiner]

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.
