I agree even if they are dating there is a long relationship between them and the relationship is not built in a day. Even if they wanted to they could subdivide everything together. Separation for money is really bad. It is not always right to build relationships with money people prosper through good relationships. The amount of money they have won will end one day. If they were together the relationship would have been better and luckily they would have had a chance to win more.
Well if the relation is not built in a day then money is also not made in a day. How often we see that because of money, the relationship of husband wife, girl friend boy friend breaks. The reason is being that both partners thinks that they should have the right to get the whole money and they do not come to a mutual understanding or conclusion.
There are many stories related to this and one of them is when
This Couple Agreed to Split the Lottery If They Won. When They Did, She Left with All the Money.
I do not understand why people can't divide the money in a friendly fashion and why there always has to be a sad ending. You win a jackpot or a lottery in gamble and it is a good moment, but the happiness soon turn into sadness for one of the parties as it affects the relationship among the gambler's near and dear ones.
That is exactly what it is going to happen, because right now the one that has the full rights to that prize money is the girlfriend, and even if I agree that morally half of the prize is his, since it was his idea to buy the tickets and he had the intention to pay for it but his bank app failed, when it comes to the law I do not think he has a leg to stand on, since legally she has the right to get all of the prize money and if she does not want to share it that is her choice, so I think he will lose the lawsuit.
I wished they could have handled this in a friendly manner but not to be. Reading the whole story some questions arises in my mind like
1) Is money more important than any relationship?
2) Are people so greedy for money?
