You were on your way to the store to play the lottery, and a friend asked you to play his/her lottery number for them while you were out. The friend asked you to pay for the ticket and he/she would give you the money when you returned. Before you returned with their ticket you found out their number won for $2.5 million. Would you give them the winning ticket even though they never gave you the money to pay for it?

Yeah, call me a silly, but I would do it with out any problems. It's only right and fair. Besides, my friends and me have a plan, which ever wins will buy the other one a new house.

But of course! How could you "steal" from your own friend? I'd never be able to live with myself knowing that I took something from someone I cared about. I think a good friendship is a million times more valuable then any money.

Nah lol I'd probably hand them the non winning ticket. But hey, who's to say which ticket belonged to who? Unelss they were specific numbers your friend always played. I guess it would depend on the friend and how good of friends we were. I'm a bad friend huh? lol....at least I'm honest :)

As he gave you the numbers he would know he had won but did't have the winning ticket so he could not collect the winnings until he did. I would have him sign a document, witnessed and notorized that I was to receive 50% of the winnings or else I would sue. A not very friendly thing to do perhaps, could destroy the friendship, but hell if I had that amount of money I would be having new friends coming out the woodwork!!LOL

I would go splits on it with them. it was their numbers, but i paid for the ticket so i would give them half. i mean a million bucks, i could live off that fot the rest of my life. i'd be happy with a mil for sure. as long as you didn't spend money like crazy, keep that in a bank account and continue your life as you are, the intrest in a few years would be awesome and you could retire real early! lol. just an idea. i think that's what i would do :P
