Here's a thing. My husband bought a $25 ticket and won grand prize in a club. $13K.

From it he wants to buy 3 bottles of Jim Beam worth $800 each. He wants to keep 2: 1 to drink at home and the other, reserve. The third one he wants to give back to the club. Is giving back to the club necessary? Like he won that ok, but the club didn't do anything but to randomly pick a ticket and he was lucky his got picked. I was saying he doesn't have to do it. All he has to do is enjoy his winnings or another good thing is maybe donate if he wants to. How about you? What do you think?

I have been to events called Calcuttas that are charity events. You purchase a ball or balls with numbers on them. You can choose your number if it hasn't been taken already. The prices of the balls go from $10 at certain events to hundreds at others. They usually sell 100 balls but I have seen Calcuttas with 200. The drawing is usually combined with a dinner and, yes, you have to be there to win. The drawing goes like this: the balls are pulled from a rotating drum and if your ball is drawn you are out. There is no prize if you are eliminated. The last 3 balls are prize balls. I've never won but have come in second. I ALWAYS donated my winnings back to the charity. I'm not saying your husband should donate all of his winnings back to the club (is this for charity) but something would be nice.

@SW-User yes, if it was for a cause it is nice to give back, but his is only a social thing at work.
