Winning Scratch-Off Gift Causes Conflict
Lottery tickets can make great gifts, but what happens if there’s a dispute over ticket ownership when the ticket wins a large prize? A recent Newsweek article explained one man’s experience after a ticket he gifted to a family member won $50,000.
The man, an anonymous Reddit user, was happy for his cousin who received the winning ticket, but his wife had different feelings about it. In his now viral reddit post he explains, “She told me there is no way that we are giving my cousin $50k, then starts fussing at me about buying the lotto tickets to begin with…She is now demanding I go back in there and take the ticket back from him.”
As Newsweek points out, a recent poll found that 48% of Americans in serious relationships say that finances are a source of arguments with their partner. Whose side would you take in this conflict?
