1. My husband would never call me an idiot, I have 5 gritty brothers and he knows the value of having them as allies.

I called him a very bad name once, years ago he went to the boat show with his buddies and after many beers thought it was a good idea to buy a boat, and he quickly learned the value of consulting with me first on major purchases.

After 32 years we can say we are happy, I truly have my soul mate and for that I know the value of having someone so wonderful.

2. We don't go... [ More ]

I cant handle three variable situtions currently. So I will focus on point 1.

Of course you tell her!

But you only tell her you that you won TWO individual tickets! That way you can make her happy and at the same time, not reveal your devilish addiction to lottery games.

1) Of course I would not only tell her but show her my one winning ticket . And I'd offer to spilt the winnings with her and ask her if she still thinks I'm an idiot.

2) If the ticket was worth more than the tab, I'd pay off the tab and give him the rest.

3) If I really didn't know which tickets where mine, I'd split with them.

No, because my hypothetical spouse would likely just start crunching the math on how much I've lost on the lottery over the years and how much I am projected to lose in the coming 10 years and so on, to negate to the the concept of the win. That's just the sort of person I date, so that's what a spouse for me would probably be like. I like them clever, but the clever ones will roast you. I would still share but in subtle ways over time, and savor the thrill of the win secretly. 3. Depends entire... [ More ]

If he thinks I'm wasting money, I'm definitely telling him to prove him wrong. A regular leaves me a tip. I'm keeping the whole enchalada regardless of the amount. They should know how much they won. $20/$20 cant make heads or tails who won. I'm splitting the prize with the in-laws. Only fair

1. I'm an idiot, not a liar. Being a liar will make her an ex. Being an idiot will make her laugh. Tell her.

2. Give him back the ticket and tell him to go cash it and pay his tab if its a lot more. If not just make up the difference in drinks by applying a credit.

3. My in-laws lost. They are losers, but I intend to split my winning with them!

1: Your spouse refers to you as an idiot for wasting money on the lottery. You just won Pick-3 Straight for $5 on five individual tickets, do you tell your spouse?

2: A regular just paid on their bar tab with a winning scratch ticket. Later you realize the ticket is worth more then you both thought, do you tell your partner?

3: Your in laws have sent a twenty to buy Quick Picks for the big draw. You buy twenty for them and twenty for yourself, later you realize you don't know which t... [ More ]
