If I were Filthy Rich
By turboshot49cents+61 A friend suggests lottery numbers to you and says if you win you can split the money. You win. Do you tell your friend?
Wondered this last night. I was on Facebook and wrote a status about buying tickets. A friend left a comment telling me what numbers to pick and if I win we could split the earnings. I’m pretty sure my friend was being tongue-in-cheek. But I started to wonder what that situation would actually look like. Would I actually have to reach out to my friend and say “Hey I won, how should we do this?” Or would I just keep it a secret? If it was a close friend and we made a serious pact, I would definitely split the money. But a distant friend saying something in jest I’m not too sure.

+25 @BuffBullBaby don't play the numbers a random aquaintance provides...
+24 @anonykitten29 Why play their numbers if you're not going to split with them??
+22 @jabroni4545 If they're numbers you wouldn't have played otherwise, why not split it. You wouldn't have won without them?
+20 @KharKhas Honestly... I have really good couple of friends. I would be happy to share with them. They have been with me through really rough times.
+11 @postmanpat84 My friend in the past got really moody with me when I said I wouldn't buy you a house if I won the euros. I said I would buy it for me to rent out to you for nothing. Guess I will lie next time haha
