Couple won the jackpot but split soon after!

[STT]

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.

Well, not all women are after mens money LoL. It's not because you've experienced something like that that you will imprint in your mind that they all have the same actions and intentions. You will surely find the right woman for you, the one who will help you in everything, support you and most of all, will not leave you or change you for money.

As i have said that im not generalizing all women to be on this way but due to my own experience in the past or when im still on teenage to college days on being on a relationship then i could say that you should really be that careful on choosing with your partner for the rest of your life. You should have that standard of course and if something that make you feel that being choked then better skip and look for another one as simple as that.

all i can say is that that woman is also not so naive in life. when a person has money like that, they find independence and will not need the man in her life for a time being. but the same with the man, having such an amount of money, he can buy a sexier woman in his life.

they didn't say what is the reason for the break up or i missed reading it. but pretty much the money has something to do with it. the woman also has a kid which i think she thinks she wants the kid to benefit more off this money so i can understand the pursuit to take it all.

Thats some greedy check you have there.. As far as i read up that they arent still married. So how she have a kid? hmmm.

In regarding on what you have said on not needing your partner when you do have the money. Lets talk about on the women side on which i could say that this is partly true, Why?
Based up on real experience on which on the time that my wife do make some huge income which is way more than on what im earning then you could really sense the change of authority
on which respect and control and being manipulative is already there.Whereas these things didnt exist on the time that she still getting your salary but on the time that they are
also earning big then this is where things do change up which it do really sucks.

For husbands then i dont see for it to be that something could happen since from the start, it is really that our main responsibility on raising up our own family.
There's no sense of being that too boastful because you are the provider.

when couples reach a point where they can sense what might their partner think or do whenever they achieve financial success, there is already a barrier between them. even if they love each other, behind their minds is something else. learning to trust each other will be needed. and not ignore the other like deciding something while the other isn't aware of it might cause commotion.

in their case, someone could be behind that causes this like a brother/sister or a friend who whispers their ears putting an idea regarding who has more share.

One of the most toughest situation is that whenever they do have those kind of denials and trying to own everything just because you cant be able to provide something that you had made out some agreement. This is why when it comes to money then you cant really be able to trust up someone and this is something that do really sucks when someone do put you up on such hard situation or
even getting blamed or ended up having nothing just because they do own the ticket or using up their own money or something which it could really make your blood boiled up.
Well, just like on what most people been saying here which is true that money could changed up anyone on point and dont mind about the relation that they do have with other person.

That was only the most important detail to determine who the rightful owner is. Whoever paid for the ticket owns it. If she will share her winnings, that would be nice to hear, but in this case, she kept the whole winning, and they split. That's just how it goes when someone is not important to you. Legally, there wasn't any obligation, so the woman should not be criticized here. Instead, the man should be since he's trying to earn rights to money he didn't own.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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?

I am a married man already, and I see no way I and my wife are ever gonna split because of money, our relationship have growth past this stage a long time ago, but for the sake of this thread and discussion, let me assume that I am still dating my wife and somehow, we won such an amount of money, I do not see any reason that will cause us to split as long as we love each, except on the grounds that she started misbehaving and all efforts to bring her to order proved abortive, then she her self will have to decided that she wants out of the relationship, when and if she declares her intention to leave, for the sake peace, I would mind sharing that money with her 50/50, on the grounds that we won it together.

But then, if I was the one that actually won that money, maybe she's doest even know I was a gambler, or she knows but hasn't been supportive of me gambling, but only started showing support after I won this amount, and now, she wants to go her separate way, it did be clear enough to me that she is nothing but a gold digger, I will only offer her 15 to 20 percent of the total money won, if she doesn't accept it, then that's her cup of tea.

In the nutshell, relationships should be based on money, it's completely immoral.

[Zanab247]

Since the two couple have been in the gambling for some years, it will be easy for the money to separate the marriage because they married each other because of money not because of love, because assuming there is a truly love among them the woman will allow the man to keep the money so that they will use the money to create a good business that will be bringing profits to them to gamble anytime.

 If such thing happen to me, I don't think I will separate from my wife because I will make her feel the real love from me that will impact upcoming couple to always display their love to their husbands because, they are the head of the family.

Maybe the woman gas been the one providing for the man, because it was stated that the man stays in house, which might have made the woman to see herself as the one that has been losing since, and if she continues the relationship, she will be the one to take care of all the responsibilities. This might make the woman decide to dump him, and not to share part of the money with him, since she was the one that still paid for the ticket. If I were the man, I will walk away, and forget about the money, and the woman. Instead of going to court because it will be a waste of time, and he will not win the case, since it is one ticket to one player.

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.

[bitvalak]

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.

[Onyeeze]

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.

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

Let me just tell you the thing that is in more important in relationship in relationship I know quite well that money is involved and the money is the pillar of every household or any relationship so without money then I don't think that the relationship will work out very well how you are saying is that you should know what you are doing and you should also know when to spend your money and how to do about your money in aspect of gambling you have to also minimize your way on for expenses when you know that you have family or you are into a relationship so gambling is something that you have to have the statistics of it

[decodx]

In the nutshell, relationships should be based on money, it's completely immoral.

You make a fair point.  Money should not define a relationship and  however, finances do play a role that couples cannot ignore.  The reality is, each relationship handles money differently.  The best policy is open communication about finances, especially during major life changes like a financial windfall.  Money itself may not buy happiness but honest talks cement bonds between partners, whatever their bank balance.

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.

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

This is actually cruel i should say that after all the things they've been through she just simply dumped him on the time that she had the money? This do really proves out that
a certain person would really be just easily be dumping their loved ones and dont mind about those things that they've been through on which on the time that they do have that money
then they do just simply make out those kind of actions on which it is really just that sad if we do end up on that mans position. Even myself would definitely be leaving that house
and just simply move on and make myself realize that there are people in our lives which doesnt known our worth. Well thats life and we dont have no choice.

[South Park]

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?
What are the things you would do to resolve the issue?
How do you think you can handle this kind of situation?

At least to me the situation is incredibly clear, she paid for the ticket, scratched it, the ticket has her name and legally there can only be one winner, so it is completely up to her whether she wants to share the prize with her now former boyfriend, now if they were married then legal actions could be taken in the case of a divorce to get the half he would be owed, but since this is not the case I do not think he has any legal recourse to get half of that money.

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.

[coolcoinz]

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.

[GxSTxV]

If we talk about it technically, the woman is the one who won that money and who is the rightful owner of the prize as they said there is only one winner and it's logically the one with the name written behind that card. If we follow the laws, the woman has all the right to take the prize alone.
But in a situation like this, the whole process of getting a scratchcard and trying luck was the couple's idea together, they both decided to do it together. The right thing to do is to split the money so both of them can move on in his life and get rid of such burden. 
The man has all the right to hold onto this case as he sees himself rightful for 50% of that prize, we are speaking a big sum of money, I think that it is not that easy to let go such amount.
But I personally don't think I would insist on my half of the prize, I think I have too much ego to just stand there begging to have my share, especially that the couple isn't married, it will look so pitiful.

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.

Well some persons will argue that taught of yours but from a legal and reasonable sense, I think you are actually correct but all the same this just shows how powerful money can be, the thirst of money have done so much to humans even the ones that are morally obligated to each other then talk more this particular case that the two are just in the process of friendship.

[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.
