AIBU to say he should give me his scratchcard winnings?

[PigglePuggle]

This is a lighthearted tounge-in-check debate and DP and I are just messing around with each other

Yesterday, DP filled up my car with fuel and I gave him my card to pay for it.

When he got home from work, he told me that he won £10 on a scratchcard, he then told me he bought the scratchcard with my card at the garage when he paid for my fuel.

We went to the supermarket to cash the scratchcard in - he’s saying the winnings are his, but I think it’s mine as he bought it on my card without my knowledge.

Who do the winnings belong to?

YABU - winnings are his
YANBU - winnings are mine

😂😂😂

(also are people missing the 'lighthearted' disclaimer in the original post?)

So many seasoned non-RTFTers don't even bother to read the OP - they just skim the title, imagine what they might think it could mean and then 'respond' (or project) to that.

For them, MN may just as well not be populated with literate/educated humans, with the ability to clearly explain the details of their issue, but could just as easily be another series of episodes of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo:

"AIBU to be upset that my oldest friend asked me to be her bridesmaid five years ago and now she's suddenly uninvited me from the entire wedding without giving any reason at all?"

"What's that, OP, you bought a low-mileage van with your brother's stolen inheritance and then discovered that it had been clocked?!"

Anyway, back to this case, you need to demand he hand over the cash to you, OP, so that you can replace it by writing him a cheque for clear audit purposes when this angry dispute reaches court - and then cancel it.

£10, I'd be planning an early retirement not posting on MN

she said its tongue in cheek, ie humour value post!

The obvious passive-aggressive solution is to say nothing until Christmas, then give him a pair of home-knitted adult-sized scratch mitts, with a local-fete-style £10 price ticket on it, without a single word.

Put the bastard under the patio then it's all yours plus his life insurance. Simples. said in best meerkat imitation

I’d make sure you get your share and make it clear what the arrangement is, otherwise it sets a bad precedence for when he does it again and wins the jackpot.

What's the comprehension-challenged fun sponges on this thread???
I've been really unwell the last couple of days and this thread has cheered me right up. Thanks OP😊

LTB 🤣🤣🤣🙄

Get your ducks in a row OP, if he has admitted to this, something deeper is lurking...I'm suspecting he won a bag of fruity chews at work. Just preparing you

Book a cruise, £10 it's not going to get you to the Isle of Wight but one way on the Gosport Ferry might be an option.

Ring the lottery support line to discuss how to handle your winnings? Sometimes family, colleagues and friends can be hard to handle.

I’ve never been to tounge-in-check, is it in Scotland?

Also the winnings are totally yours. Cheeky fucker buying a scratchy on your card…

Wow @ paying a fiver for a scratch card. You've married a bit of a daredevil haven't you??

He owes you either £5 for the ticket or half the winnings!!

Or you can share and have a xup of coffee each. Maybe even together. But please use that time to discuss what is a reasonable expenditure!!

If you won £1M then he could keep his thieving hands off your winnings.

it's a tenner, so don't sweat the small stuff.

🙄🤣🙄

OP get your own back - buy a couple of lines on Tuesday's Euro Millions and when you get the £56M top prize, tell him he's welcome to keep the tenner.

@AlmostGrinchyTime we’re not even married yet!! Seriously reconsidering after this debacle!

You're pregnant - set up a trust fund for the baby. Get a SHL to make it watertight, and carefully vet the Trustees (or appoint a couple of Fairy Godmothers) to ensure that no one squanders it all on scratch cards before baby comes of age.

Oh in that case tell them that all his winnings should go into the wedding fund and have a bash of a wedding!!

I'm torn OP...

1. He needs to pay you £15 - £5 for the original purchase and all of the winnings for being so cheeky.
2. He needs to pay you £10 - £5 for the original purchase and half of the winnings
3. He need to pay you £7.50 - £5 for the original purchase and then split the profit evenly.
4. He needs to pay you £5 - for the original purchase.
5. He needs to pay you at least £50 - for all the scratch cards he has put on your card but not confessed to as he didn't win anything...

I'm going to go with #5

Split the profits. He refunds your £5 and gives you £2.50.

If you wouldn’t have bought a ticket, then winnings are his (but I’d expect a nice bit of chocolate out of it).

Well if its not a joint account legally what he has done is theft and you cant benefit from illgotton gains.

I know people play it off as its 'only £1' in this case but him putting stuff on YOUR card without telling you is actually a serious red flag regardless of the amount.

You can get in trouble with the bank for this (I know because I have suffered the bollocking from them before when this has happened).

Only part of thread titles come up until I click on them and it said AIBU to say he should give me his scratch....

I thought it was going to say 'scratchings' as in pork scratchings . If he bought some with your card as well, they're definitely yours !!!!!
