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?

He should think on it for a week before doing any of that...$80 dollar bottles are not so bad...

@fun4us2b that's it. He should think.

@fun4us2b right. $80 bottles are fair enough. Not $800.

@GunFinger Maybe should put the money aside for the kids...tell him to avoid income tax on the winnings...

GunFinger · F

@fun4us2b should give it to the kids or to this house.

@GunFinger I'm not sure what you can do....does he have a friend you can ask to speak some sense to him?

@fun4us2b I'm speaking with my brother-in-law and he also doesn't know why he's like that. He said his brother has to fix his house first and the club doesn't need a bottle of alcohol. I hope my husband mentions his plan so my brother-in-law gives him an earful.

@GunFinger Maybe make a list of stuff that needs to get done around the house, not to mention future things your children will need...I feel for you....
