DH gave cash win to one DD and the other one got nothing

[Madwomanuptheroad29]

DH bought two tickets for a Christmas raffle and put name of one DD on each. The girls are 16 and 12.
The girls or I were not aware of this.
One ticket won £100. I was with both girls in the living room when our older daughter received a text from DH telling her she had won £100. Other daughter checked her phone and no text. Older DD stated that she assumed it meant that there was £100 between the two girls (£50 each). She checked with DH and stated he had explained that only she was getting money as her name was on the winning ticket and her sisters ticket had not won.
The younger girl was quite taken aback and just gepeated "that is so mean". DD 1 was visibly torn between being delighted to have got an unexpected sum of money and feeling bad, asking me if she needed to give her sister a share.
I am in shock as while it may technically be correct that one girls ticket won, DH should in my view simply have told both girls that they had won £100 between them irrespective whose name was on the raffle ticket.
I am trying to figure out how to turn this round - both DDs are feeling bad. I am shocked that it did not occut to DH that this was going to be an issue (£100 is a big sum to DD1 and a fortune to DD2). He is now pissed off that it is an issue and that I have addressed it with him - he feels clearly bad about it in hindsight but has no ideal what to do and is not willing to discuss it. I have said that he needs to find a solution to resolve this.
We can't just give money to the younger one to even things out - it would just make things worse. We can't undo it and effectively penalise the other girl.
The girls normally get on really well and there is very little jealousy.

Said it earlier.

Be a parent FFS

All this hand wringing. Deal with the situation so people can move on. Be the grown up

But is he taking ownership of the situation?

Whats his position now?
That’s it, it’s done now so get over it?
Do you need to talk to him again about why you feel there is an issue? What @pelargoniums said is very good.

Fwiw I agree with you there up to a point.

If he is doing nothing and is leaving everything fester, up to the point that one if both dds are uncomfortable, upset or resentful, then I believe you will have to step in.

Personally, I wouldn't make her share her winnings. That's how raffles work - some tickets win, others don't. It's luck of the drawer.

If winning dd decides to give a token sum to her sister, or perhaps buy her a small gift, then that would be a lovely thing to do, but I think it's unreasonable to tell her that she must give her sister half.

Ideally, your DH should have given the girls their tickets BEFORE the raffle was drawn, and explained how it works, not after.

Hopefully he now knows that it was silly to put their names on two tickets but only 'award' the daughter who's 'name' won.

He should have either split the money, or put it towards an extra treat for them both.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing though

I am still at work so have not seen either girl today and only had a quick cup of coffee with husband. I think I have conveyed to him pretty much what pelargonium expressed on the thread. He can be a bit black and white and when home I will hopefully get some sense of where we are. Also does dot like to talk.
So hoping that he has processed by now.

If you believe your partner had a good intension like you say which to me implies no history of favouritism etc then blimey just agree to disagree and move on. All this talk of transparency, processing, is a raffle ticket really belonging to buyer or to the named person, does it differ if they are at the draw or knew about the ticket etc etc, is too much drama. Empathise with child 2 but put a philosophical spin on it or just engineer some good fortune for her too in the future if you must.
