To feel like this about ex's lottery win?

How much did he claim to have won?

It's interesting he's won quite a few times.over the years. One wonders how much he has spent achieving this? Chances are he spends.quite a bit and it's unlikely he will.lose that habit. And he's unlikely to know who his real friends are anymore..especially if he treats them like.he treated you.

I can believe it. 16k is really not that much, but it is enough that a foolish, spendthrift person would think it would last forever.

If u dont have a clean break n both of u havent been married since the divorce then u can have a claim on his win 😂😂😂😂id take that avenue to make sure he keeps his trap shut next time

even the most amount of money will not compensate that he’s an asshole that just wants to rub it in 🤷‍♀️ sounds like you dodged a bullet !

My ex husband won 16 k on the lottery about 6 months after we divorced. But he spent the whole lot on rubbish and got back into debt. He was always rubbish with money!

Mature Answer: Wish him well and end the conversation. No need to block.

Immature Answer: If you really want to take the wind out of his sails, use generative AI to fake a major life event photo- a gorgeous partner, a pregnancy, an engagement, heck, even your own lottery win... And wait for him to block you. 🤣😇

I'm pretty sure he lied. The chances of winning a life changing amount on the lottery are so ridiculously small, 1 in millions.

Ignore and focus on your life. Also consider if you stopped throwing money away on the lottery you'd have an extra £208 a year to treat yourself to something nice (and think that if he spends £15 a day as you said, that's £5475 a year so any wins aren't real wins)

In that case, I guarantee you that he will very soon have nothing left from his latest win, because he's definitely got a gambling addiction.

He's going to keeping throwing money at lotteries until the day he dies and he'll never really be any better off overall. If he'd put that £15 a day into a savings account he'd probably have more money now that the amount he's just won, the idiot.

So he's just been in touch to say he was going to give me some money but after all the shit I texted him, now there's no chance

Oh, what bollocks. You are SO better off without this dickhead in your life. He's a stupid prick.

Has he moved on with another relationship since you broke up, or has he been holding out to get you back OP?

if he won the lottery he has definitely contacted everyone he feels ever slighted him with the same message. what a knob. plus, God luck with the gambling addiction after a big win.

He's just gloating lying and he's an ex for a reason.

Corrected it for you. NO WAY has he had a big win!

He's just gloating and he's an ex for a reason.

He may feel the freedom coming his way, but he still feels lonely and perhaps he wants someone special to share is good fortune..🤔

I suggest texting him to discover his genuine intentions.

Apart from being tired from your job, message him back with that. Sounds like your life is going well apart from not being a millionaire? There's more to life than money. My ex and her ex won about 3.5 million on lotto a few years back and blew it all, and then some. I agree with the others here, he's just bragging, and that is a low class act. Block him.

What's that saying about 'if you lend someone £20 and never see them again, it was worth it'?

If this man had any genuine feelings that he hadn't always played fair with you, he would have sent you a gift whatever your response.

In your shoes, I would pay good hard cash to have my understanding of his character so amply vindicated.

Your self consoling line could perhaps be 'I hope you get everything you so richly deserve'! :-)

Good, I would have had to say something to him as-well……what an asshole

Wonder if he will reply back

As you know, he was never going to give you money

Dont let him put you off meeting other men, that would only be letting him affect your life further, there are good men out there.

He sounds like a hideous creature

He has no money, he did not win big. He is full of shit. Your description of him reminds me a lot of a man I used to know. He claimed to earn over two hundred grand a year (a lie) that he had an IQ of 180 (another absurd lie) that he used to work for M16 (are you getting the picture now?) Your ex is clever enough to choose a lie that is slightly plausible because he did play the lottery a lot, but he is still lying. I would bet my latest euromillions win on it 😉

Block block block block.

That is a new level of manipulation. You need to get out of this immediately. He's playing games and it seems to be working as you are giving it significant head space. You seriously need to block him and focus on your objectives and life.

£5,500? A year? For how many years 10? Well if he’s won big then maybe the £55,000 has been worth it.

But he really ought to knock it on the head now. Mission complete.

Do you have any aspiration to get back with him?
