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?

This sounds misguided. He put money in to win like many others. That's how fundraising works. But he owes them nothing. What he should do is take you on a well earned and deserved fantasy vacation. You're been there through thick and thin. And have been mostly alone. If he owes anyone, it is you.
