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?

13k is a nice price, but not so huge you can start throwing it around. $800 for one bottle seems a lot to start with, let alone to give away for not really doing anything. Maybe he can give them a $10 box of chocolate instead? It's the gesture that counts, right?

@NerdyPotato that's right. They're gonna forget what he did anyway and they probably don't him in the first place.

@GunFinger I'm a little worried about his initial thoughts. He's going to blow straight through the whole prize in a few days before even considering if there is anything it might be useful or important for. He's spending hundreds with the ease as if he got billions rather than thousands.

@NerdyPotato hey me too. I'm his wife it's upsetting the way he thinks.
