Couple won the jackpot but split soon after!

[bangjoe]

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.

But what the OP shows is that they are a couple, which basically what one of them has belongs to both of them, the term is already embedded by itself if you have a partner, whichever money is used to make a bet then the result must be the choice of both, but this becomes complicated when it comes to money and feelings and also rights, sometimes the claims on each partner are different even though they have a bond in a dating relationship, however the basis is mutual sharing, that's what might be debated.
It's ridiculous when it comes to relationships and when it comes to money they split up, isn't that illogical? I say why don't they enjoy it together?

I agree even if they are dating there is a long relationship between them and the relationship is not built in a day. Even if they wanted to they could subdivide everything together. Separation for money is really bad. It is not always right to build relationships with money people prosper through good relationships. The amount of money they have won will end one day. If they were together the relationship would have been better and luckily they would have had a chance to win more.

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.

that's easier said than done because human nature is greedy and it is normal for them to be blinded by money and fight over it. if they think that each of them has full rights to the prize, then the best way to resolve this issue is to take the matter to court and let the court determine who is most entitled to the winnings. that's the only way to determine who has the most rights.

[the rise]

Have you ever tried something like this situation before?

no

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

the right choice

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

no

And if no then why not?

no, because that would be an unfair choice, which would burden only one party

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

solve and speak carefully so that we act fairly and do not cause unilateral harm

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

must be fair and tolerant, there is no point in arguing

That is exactly what it is going to happen, because right now the one that has the full rights to that prize money is the girlfriend, and even if I agree that morally half of the prize is his, since it was his idea to buy the tickets and he had the intention to pay for it but his bank app failed, when it comes to the law I do not think he has a leg to stand on, since legally she has the right to get all of the prize money and if she does not want to share it that is her choice, so I think he will lose the lawsuit.

This is the King Midas effect in play, careful what you wish for because you might just get it then you have to handle it.   Somehow not all lottery winners can handle the success at their hands and personally can suffer for it.   It is about as ironic as things can get.

My first take if I was suddenly blessed with wealth is secure my long term liabilities.   I know this might sound boring but if we pay attention to the history of all winners its apparently well worth doing for the sake of staying happy long term not just on the win.

Secure long term health is a big one, long term health care is expensive but can be taken of to end of life not just a renewal of policy which can be pragmatic in bad health should it occur.   Secure earnings long term, minimum income to end of life can be done via a policy cover.   Pension and housing all of these are super obvious but expensive to buy, well worth it and then you have less burdens to squabble over day to day.
   This couple staying together was never a given but I think every winner has the stress of finance planning and it can be destructive.

People do really changed in a snap on the time that we do speak about huge money specially if we do speak about millions on which it isnt really that shocking that these kind of actions could really happen.
People do changed up instantly and doesnt matter about their relation into other people. Basing up into the situation then that guy wont really be having the rights considering that the funds been used owned by the girl then she does have the full rights in regarding on this one even if this case would be bring up into the legal aspect. The only sad thing on here is that why both come up on splitting up?
Due to greed and this is why they do really end up on having those arguments on whose the full rights with those amounts. 50.50 should be fine i guess but it seems that they dont
really like to have some split up with those money. lol

..

your plan is good in fairness, you thought better to settle all your liabilities so that whatever is left, you will use that as savings. It's not boring if you think about it, but it's a very practical thing that you first settle everything that needs to be paid before you spend on other things. One of the things I noticed when people win a large amount, they don't value the money they earned and they become one time big time spenders so all their winnings are used up quickly. there is nothing wrong if you use the money you got but we will always think that we do not win every day and are given the opportunity to win.

Money could changed up everything even if it means that you would be leaving your loved ones if you both didnt agree with the terms. Just like you have said that relation could be replaced
but money making opportunity isnt something that you could hit on everyday and once that opportunity hits then that someone wouldnt really be caring about relationship whether on your bf
or would be even inside the family as long we are talking about money. Just like on what most people been saying that it is really just that sad that people do really ends up on this option
on which why they cant make out some settlement or having those in depth discussion about the certain condition.

If ever there would really be some arguments about money or prize split up and this one would go to legal matters then the ones who do make out
such use of his/her money would really be having the full rights of the said amount no matter what methods that has been used on buying those tickets.

This story is unique and a little complicated after I read the link you shared, in the contents of this thread post. in fact, I am not in the capacity to give an assessment of these two couples, especially regarding the prize for the lottery winnings they won. I don't dare to speculate and give an opinion based on the story in the link you shared, because I don't know these two people. moreover, things related to the background of the relationship between these two people. so, I will just try to answer the question you asked.

First of all, I have never experienced this situation. because, my partner doesn't like betting, whether it's lottery or games that are usually available on a casino platform. second point, this is actually very confusing for me. especially, if I have to assume a 50/50 split to be fair.  third point, for me, this is a matter of trust. I don't know who actually has the right to win this lottery, especially if I win it. This winning money is our shared money, it doesn't need to be shared to be fair. because if I win as described in this post, automatically everything will be for mutual needs and includes things related to desires. the point is, am I someone who can be trusted, and vice versa. the problem of who keeps this winning money, depends on both of them. if it were me, I would fully discuss it first with my partner. what do we plan to do in the future, and how do we ensure that this money doesn't go to waste. If my wife asked him to save it as a joint savings, I would fully give it because we have mutual trust in each other. Well, I have answered your question. from the first point, to the third point.

Anyway, for me this is a matter of distrust. I don't know for sure how the behavior of the two couples is described in this thread. and that's why, I don't dare assume that it's not my portion. Plus, I've never experienced a problem like this.
On the other hand, my partner is always a living alarm when I start to go overboard regarding my gambling.

Many people cannot control the greed of money due to sudden get huge money. Sometimes even good relationships lose for the money. I think that's what happened in that couple. When they didn't have the money to win, they were close to each other, but as money won, the rift grew between them. Here I am sure that the matter of greed stirred greatly among them. Maybe it is because of the sharing of money that such a rift has been created between them. Greed also works between students and teachers in the present day with money and the relationship between them is destroyed. If I were in such a situation, I would definitely divide the money there equally. What I considered was the luck that helped me win that money. I did not own that money before. And if I didn't get that money I would have nothing to do. Considering these factors, I would definitely share my winnings.

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

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.

I'm guessing it's all fine and dandy as long as they have separated amicably, although honestly speaking, the guy's one perfect example of why you should sign up for a pre-nuptial agreement. Cause at the end of the day when you die before her, she's gonna get the money you have, and if she really loves you before the cash, then she'd be more than willing to marry you and face the prospect of not getting a single dime out of you should you guys file for divorce later down the line. I've seen quite a lot of males in here get fucked sideways when the divorce settlements come in, not only losing literal halves of their net worth to someone who would bad mouth them against their friends and possibly your kids if you decided to have any, and fuck someone you barely know while you're out there trying to pick up the pieces of your broken marriage and life. It sucks but it all stems from the fact that we trust people too hard until we sit and realize that the person we loved all these years isn't the same person we're sitting across the courtroom anymore. Oh well, hope the guy in OP's post is doing fine, hope he realizes that this is not the end of the world for him.

A lot of people value money more than humanity. It is pitiable that this generation just believes that money is everything. Some people believe that since they have money, they don’t need to stay in a relationship. But then, the world can only be a beautiful place to live if we practice love for each other. As you have noted, greed can drive people to prioritize personal gain over relationships, leading to rifts. However, prioritizing fairness and equitable distribution of wealth can help preserve relationships and prevent resentment from building.

Sudden wealth can indeed strain relationships, as it may alter dynamics and introduce new tensions, especially if there are disagreements over how to handle the money. People should understand that it's important to consider the long-term implications of financial decisions and prioritize the well-being of relationships over short-term gains. Building and nurturing strong relationships can bring greater fulfilment and happiness than wealth alone.

I agree even if they are dating there is a long relationship between them and the relationship is not built in a day. Even if they wanted to they could subdivide everything together. Separation for money is really bad. It is not always right to build relationships with money people prosper through good relationships. The amount of money they have won will end one day. If they were together the relationship would have been better and luckily they would have had a chance to win more.

Basically money never lies, and when someone has a certain amount of money then their true nature will be seen. and most of them will be selfish, just like this couple. They think that money can solve everything and think that money is everything.

Building a good relationship is not easy and at least takes a long time, but a good relationship can be destroyed in an instant, for example just because of money issues. which means that when talking about money, not only does the person become a little selfish, they also become more sensitive. and starting from this, it is quite important that in building a relationship, apart from being able to respect each other, we also have to be able to equalize our perceptions, so that we aim at the same goal.

..........

that's easier said than done because human nature is greedy and it is normal for them to be blinded by money and fight over it. if they think that each of them has full rights to the prize, then the best way to resolve this issue is to take the matter to court and let the court determine who is most entitled to the winnings. that's the only way to determine who has the most rights.

"Greed can sometimes make someone lose their mind a little." And if this problem cannot be resolved through good communication and one-on-one conversation, then deciding to bring this problem to court is a decision that is quite a solution.

Well if the relation is not built in a day then money is also not made in a day. How often we see that because of money, the relationship of husband wife, girl friend boy friend breaks. The reason is being that both partners thinks that they should have the right to get the whole money and they do not come to a mutual understanding or conclusion.

There are many stories related to this and one of them is when This Couple Agreed to Split the Lottery If They Won. When They Did, She Left with All the Money.

I do not understand why people can't divide the money in a friendly fashion and why there always has to be a sad ending. You win a jackpot or a lottery in gamble and it is a good moment, but the happiness soon turn into sadness for one of the parties as it affects the relationship among the gambler's near and dear ones.

That is exactly what it is going to happen, because right now the one that has the full rights to that prize money is the girlfriend, and even if I agree that morally half of the prize is his, since it was his idea to buy the tickets and he had the intention to pay for it but his bank app failed, when it comes to the law I do not think he has a leg to stand on, since legally she has the right to get all of the prize money and if she does not want to share it that is her choice, so I think he will lose the lawsuit.

I wished they could have handled this in a friendly manner but not to be. Reading the whole story some questions arises in my mind like

1) Is money more important than any relationship?

2) Are people so greedy for money?

Most individuals change their outlook in life once they got a hold of money. So it is no surprise why some couples will split owed to money matters. It means, the foundation of their relationship is not yet solid as it is largely influenced by money. Because in a strong relationship, money should only come in secondary, as there are bigger factors that can dictate as to where the relationship is heading to.

So it depends on a how much the person loves his or her other half, when they are tested by money issues. For some, who have significant amount of money, the reason they are having this pre-nup agreement. I believe, this is really helpful especially when couple starts to having problems in their relationship. As the saying goes, there's no forever.

[Orpichukwu]

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

No evidence that the man is telling the truth. No evidence also that the woman is telling the truth.  But that woman has the legal right to the money won.

What form of legal right does she have to the money? They are still dating and are not legally married yet; at least that's what the news states, unless there are some legal policies that state a girl is entitled to the person she is dating. 
 
But looking at it from the aspect that they went into the lottery shop together and the bank used to pay for the lottery card belongs to the lady, then she deceived a fair share of the money, even if it's up to 50% of the amount won. It wouldn't be a bad idea if there was no condition attached to the money when she paid for the card.

[VeritazCrew]

Well, if I was in this situation, I would not split the win with her lol, since I'd be the only one to have the keys to my XFUN wallet lol. Decentralization rules!!

2) Are people so greedy for money?

Many people would like to believe themselves to be the kind of person that can put themselves, their family, country and values above all else, but we know better, most people do in fact care way more about the money than anything else, but I really think she is not really considering all the aftereffects this decision will bring her, because even if she could keep all of that money, nothing can be hidden these days, so whenever she desires to start new a relationship with someone else, that person will eventually find out what she did, and most of them will take the decision to give up on her, as it is clear where her priorities are.

What would be the after effects? The only thing i do saw that it would really be affected is on his relation with his boyfriend but since they are still dating for 3 months then i would say that this wont hurt much. It would be an another story if we do see some couples that goes beyond 3-5 years or more and then suddenly make out those kind of breakouts just because of money talks.
Yes, this money isnt something that too small or could be life changing but we do know that getting in having those kind of break outs just because of money disagreement or discussion then
it is really just that sad that people do really changed in an instant if we do speak about money. Well shit happens specially to that guy, when it comes to legal actions or approach then
the girl would be having that full rights of such winning.There's no such thing about moral things if we do speak about money.
