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

FWIW, for information I understand the National Lottery look at the purchase that lead to a large win so in your case, the starting point in advance of any prior agreement may be you win the £millions next time. I remember some people who might have had some issues with the card they used to buy a ticket that won a large sum were eventually not paid, much to their annoyance.

There is an article on the 1st page, with something like this happened, your choices would be

A. Report the card stolen, the money gets given to neither of you
B. Dont report it and divorce him
C. If not married, I think you are screwed, but if the cheque gets put into your name, then its yours.

He needs to give you your fiver back, with the £2.50 that is your rightful share of the winnings.

Then say that he was using your money, and that you are therefore a credit lender, and that you're charging interest on the transaction at 50% APR with no interest-free period.

It’s a tenner. You’re arguing over a tenner.

Rofl at poster saying Op’s DP is a bit of a daredevil.

I’m worried that Op has hooked up
with the guy who tried to claim
the Harrier Jet off Pepsi in the mid nineties.
@PigglePuggle is your baby father’s name John Leonard?

Go to the pub and buy the drinks with the winnings. Hen you both win! He's very cheeky though. Especially a £5 one.

Ok. He has to reimburse you the cost of the scratch card &
You then get half the profits. 😜 I suggest a nice bottle of vino to share

🤣🤣🤣🎉

£7.50 yours, £2.50 his. Therefore you’re paid back the cost of the scratch card, and split the winnings.

In reality, he should buy you a bottle of wine and congratulate you on your win

Your money, your winnings! Give him 5% for the trouble of queuing

Or put it towards a take away so everyone's a winner

Share the winnings. What was it? Get yourself a pack of haribos each 🤣

I think it's his because it was his decision to buy the card. If you had told him to buy petrol AND a card, then it would be different.

It's similar to if you loaned him money to invest in or set up a business etc. you'd be entitled to the original loan back but not profits of the business. But he should pay you back the original cost of the scratch card.

He owes you £5. Then you split the winnings. He gets £2.50. Then because Che stole from you, he spends his buying you something nice.

It's a lighthearted thread. You've misunderstood a lighthearted thread.

Also, can all the 'FFS it's just a tenner' posters pm me £10 please?

I think the OP said upfront that it doesn't really matter.

However, you raise an interesting point. At what figure does it start to really matter?

Me, I'd say, "It's a £100 - does it really matter?" But I think most people's matter would, at some degree of seriousness, probably kick in by that figure.

So, everyone, when does it start to matter?

I'd at least expect a bunch of flowers from the winnings if not you should definitely LTB!

A fiver!! That's the unreasonable bit 🤣

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 !!!!!

It sounds to me like how they would have referred to STDs in the 16th century: "Thou promised to plight me thy troth, but all thou didst was to give me thou scratch!"

*THY scratch, of course.

Now you've confirmed you're actually pg with presumably his child, I don't know how you can call this lighthearted. You're letting him off the hook very very lightly.

don't you realise that his behaviour tells you a lot about the person he is. What a crapbag to want to keep the tenner, the mean spirited toe rag.

Id bin him off no hesitation, it's only going to go downhill from here. Not lighthearted!
