Couple won the jackpot but split soon after!

[yahoo62278]

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!

[Hirose UK]

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.

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.

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.

[boyptc]

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.

[asyakashi]

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

[bangjoe]

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.

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

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.

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

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?

[Gozie51]

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.

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?

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.

[Blowon]

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

[AVE5]

And sources close to her insisted her former boyfriend has “no right” to the money as she paid for the winning ticket.

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.

[Miles2006]

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.

[acroman08]

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.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

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.

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

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

Have you ever tried something like this situation before?

No, I haven't

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

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.

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

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

What are the things you would do to resolve the issue?

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.

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

The best way to solve this is dialogue fails, will be through the court of law.
