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?

Money makes people think distortedly different.

He probably thinks he is doing the right thing, while possibly seeking appreciation. But its messed up…

Hard to explain but I went thru the same thing.

@LunarOrbit right. He could be dumb sometimes, I must admit. And yes, he always likes to be acknowledged, appreciated and special mentioned.

@GunFinger He sounds like a great guy with a big heart. He’s probably going to do what he wants to do…(and possibly regret it when the smoke clears).
I would be persistent and let him know you dont think its a great idea. Don’t yell, don’t be upset…just advise him he could do more good with that money where its needed more.

Good luck.
