Lottery win (not a bad amount).

[winningballs]

Name changed for this.

I have been thinking about asking this and I have spoken to f&f about it and the opinions vary.

Last Wednesday I got an urge to do the lottery, I haven't done it in ages because I just can't afford it, but I got a lucky dip and lucky it was, I got 5 matching balls plus the bonus. I won't say how much I won but it's a fair amount, enough for me to not worry about bills for the foreseeable and enough to give people 10k each.

Here's my question.

I have a list of whom I would share my winnings with stored on my phone, it's been on there for years and my ex is on there. We have been split for a year or so but I always said I would give him something if I won. I don't hate him and I really liked his children, so should I just transfer some into his account? This is not a plan to get him back as I am happily with someone else now and he has no problem with my list as he is well taken care of too.

Should I - or should I not bother?

Which number didn’t you get, out of interest? I’m insanely jealous. Can you tell us what it was like at the lottery HQ?

I wouldn't tell a soul.

Me neither

I think you sound like a very kind, generous and caring person. I know some people are saying why would you give a share to your ex, but a split can be amicable and the parties involved can still like each other.

If you feel drawn to giving your ex a share, then why not?

Congratulations and have a good time!
