Couple won the jackpot but split soon after!

[passwordnow]

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.

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.  

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.

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.

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. 

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.

[Cryptomultiplier]

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.

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.

A couple, who had been dating for a mere three months before they won an eye-watering $1.9 million dollars, split soon after.

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?

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.

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.
-cut-

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.

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.

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.

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.

[junder]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

[Ultegra134]

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?

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.

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.

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.   

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.

[qwertyup23]

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.

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.

[Ever-young]

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.

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.

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.

[Peanutswar]

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.
