Couple won the jackpot but split soon after!

[South Park]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

When I first came across this thread, I felt they were married but this is just too people dating and nothing more.

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

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.

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.

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.

[Obari]

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.

[Strongkored]

Have you ever tried something like this situation before?

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.

How do you think you can handle this kind of situation?

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.

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.

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.

[SatoPrincess]

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.

[STT]

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.

[macson]

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

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?

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.
