It's not a jackpot, just a £100 shopping voucher. WWYD?

Congratulations. If I had given you the ticket, I certainly would not expect you to share with me. Enjoy.

BryanAdamsLeftAnkle · 24/12/2019 15:28

No, it's entirely yours. The giver would be hoping that you would win

MaudebeGonne · 24/12/2019 15:29

No, but I would buy them a nice gift when I was out spending it - between £10-20? I'd be delighted with that if I was the giver.

FishCanFly · 24/12/2019 15:31

i was thinking... a nice bottle of wine from that shopping

I'd buy them something nice, about £10-15 or so, that would be a nice gesture.

fussychica · 24/12/2019 21:16

I would definitely treat them.

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 24/12/2019 21:23

No, but a nice gesture to get them a wee treat. Congratulations on your win!

Bottle of wine is a nice idea. I wouldn’t expect anything if it were me.

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 24/12/2019 21:28

It depends on who they are and how they would react to the news. If they’re generally a decent sort and wouldn’t dream of expecting half, then a bottle of wine would be lovely. If they are the type to expect more, then don’t let if you’ve won and enjoy the money.

You can't easily share it, it's not like cash. I agree, nice to buy them a treat for like £5-10.

ScreamingValalalalahLalalalah · 24/12/2019 21:34

I'd be delighted for you!

HouseworkAvoider10 · 24/12/2019 21:50

No, its yours alone.
You do not need to share that.

Drum2018 · 24/12/2019 21:53

No. It shouldn't be expected that you'd share it. A bottle of wine would be a lovely gesture but not necessary.

WingingIt101 · 24/12/2019 21:55

It’s definitely yours but a treat for your friend would be appreciated I’m sure! Similar happened to my dad - one year his friend ran out of time to get his birthday gift and really apologetically handed him a petrol station card with £20 worth of scratch cards inside... dad won a grand!! Much better than the t shirt this guy usually got him and so he took his friend for a slap up dinner and night at the pub to celebrate for them both!

What everyone else said!

I popped some lottery tickets round for friends tonight as a Christmas treat. I told them if they win, to buy me a 🍺.

Congratulations, treat yourself!
