Couple won the jackpot but split soon after!

[Yatsan]

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.

He said: “I am in shock. I can openly admit that we wouldn’t have got that ticket without Charlotte, but she wouldn’t have got it without me either.

“I know it was her bank account that paid for it, but it should go 50-50 morally.”

However, Charlotte hit back at his “rubbish” claims last night.

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

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.

[Yogee]

[...]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.

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.

[Findingnemo]

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.

[348Judah]

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

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.

[Samlucky O]

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.

[Shamm]

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.

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.

[blckhawk]

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

[ryzaadit]

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.

[kingvirtus09]

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.

[Sunderland]

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

But on February 10, less than two weeks after new owner Allwyn took over the running of the National Lottery, Michael was sent a letter stating he was not entitled to a penny.

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.

[Zoomic]

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.

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

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.

[Cookdata]

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.

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.

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 

“I know it was her bank account that paid for it, but it should go 50-50 morally.”

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.
