Someone won £2.3 million on lottery and gave £50k to friend

[chaparral]

A person who lives on my island won £2.3 million on the lottery and gave £50,000 to her friend that helped her choose the numbers...

Do you think the 50k she gave her friend is to low ???

 

[Dabbles]

No, she didn't have to give anything.

 

[BDEE]

I would have given more

 

[Cleeecooo]

I'd have given £300k so i had a round number... damn OCD

Seems fine here.

As by the time other people have mugged you ie family and other friends, giving away at higher rate would mean you would have next to nothing left for yourself.

£50k>0

Pretty nice of them! Win something like that and being tight isn't cool

 

[G-MAN2004]

Not low at all.

50K seems like a rather good payment for going out and buying a friend a lottery ticket.

+1

To be fair it sounds like hes put the bulk of the money into trust to benefit his family. 50K is a little on the low side but you can't really complain at getting 50 grand for pretty much nothing.

2.3 mil is not actually that much these days, 50k is more than generous!

 

[Gackt]

By what standard are you measuring it as 'too low'?

 

[Simon]

The friend should get all of it and claim they bought it themselves (to comply with Camelot rules)

Read the news article comments. They are both OAPs so £50k is likey more than enough

 

[drunkenmaster]

She helped her choose random numbers that had no better chance of winning than any others, she didn't predict the winning numbers. The entire risk was down to the person paying for the ticket, it was her bet. 50k is 50k more than she "deserves" therefore 50k is very generous.

 

[Simon]

She bought the Ticket though as she lives in Uk. The winner lives in guernsey so can't enter the lottery themselves.

I wonder if she buys herself a ticket too. That would get confusing !

Think i would gave 300k...But then that only if it was a really close friend that i been best friends with for years.

If it was just a random friend then 50k would been enough..

Anyone who says this person gave too little, IMO .. greedy ****tard.

He/She may have *helped* pick the numbers, but didn't actually buy a ticket his/her self. The fact that the winner gave them anything makes them an extremely nice person.

Whether I would have given more or less had I won is irrelevant. That person is now £50k better off.
