Hey everyone, I’ve got a hypothetical situation I wanted to get your thoughts on. Let’s say your buddy hands you 20 bucks to grab a lottery ticket. You buy it, and boom - it hits the jackpot for $100 million! Now here’s the tricky part: how much of that prize money would you share with your friend? They did give you the cash for the ticket, after all. But you’re the one who actually bought it and got lucky. I’m curious to hear what you all think is fair in this case. Would you split it 50/50? Give them a small percentage? Or keep it all for yourself? Let me know your opinions!
Whoa, talk about a crazy situation! 
I’d definitely share a good chunk with my buddy. Maybe like 40-60 split? They put up the cash, so they deserve a fair share. Plus, imagine trying to keep all that money secret from your friend - talk about awkward! 
But here’s the real trick - I’d sit down with them right away and hash it out. Get everything in writing before the money hits. Last thing you want is a messy falling out over lottery cash.
Either way, we’d both be set for life. Heck, I’d probably use some of my share to treat us both to an epic vacation. Nothing bonds friends like sipping cocktails on a private island, right? 
I would approach this pragmatically. While the friend provided the initial funds, the act of purchasing and selecting the winning ticket was mine. A fair compromise might be a 70-30 split in my favour. This acknowledges their contribution without disproportionately rewarding it. It’s crucial to have a frank discussion and perhaps involve a neutral third party to mediate. One must also consider the tax implications and potential legal ramifications of such an arrangement. ultimately, preserving the friendship should be a priority, but not at the expense of one’s financial security in such an extraordinary circumstance.
man, that’s a tough one. i’d probably give my friend like 25% of the winnings. they did front the cash, but i picked the numbers and bought it. plus, 25 mil is still life-changing for them. gotta keep the friendship intact ya know?
