Speaker 1 (00:00):
Picture this.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
You just win yourself big cash on a scratchy on
the lotto, you win big, you go to celebrate with
your partner and they say to you, hey, we're splitting this, right.
That's a tricky conversation, I think a conversation that I
think people think about when they go and buy that
a lot of ticket. Do you get to keep all
the money or do you share it with your partner?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Well, it depends on how long you've been with your partner.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Have you been with them a
hot second? Are you married, live with them kids?

Speaker 4 (00:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Have listened to this. So this is a situation that's
currently unfolding on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's going super viral at the moment. A young mum
has won the lotto. She won, we don't know exactly
how much, but she says it was half her yearly salary,
So we can assume, you know, maybe thirty forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yeah, I mean they're still a lot of money. But
it's not like twelve million dollar win, is it. No
one's quitting their day job.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
So listen, we know for a fact they were together
for four years. They've been together four years. She says
she won the lot of ticket that she bought on
a whim. By the way, she just went walked in,
grabbed a lot of ticket and won the money. She
turned to the boyfriend and she said, you know, I'm
going to put the money towards my kids. They're college,
maybe do some upgrades to the house. He turns to
her and says, what about my half? What about my heart?

(01:05):
This is going super viral. She's come out and said, look,
if I'd won six million, I'd have no problem giving
him half because it would be so easy to live
off three million. But a quarter of one new salary
won't help me.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Much, is what she said. If she splits it with him.
So the internet's now saying, no, here's your partner, split
it with him.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
I actually reading some of the comments now, I'm actually suok.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Someone's like, is.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Half the plot worth more than your relationship? If it is,
then you shouldn't be in the relationship. I call him
BS on this. I think if she's one, if we're
going with like thirty to forty thousand dollars, if she
has won that and she wants to put that towards
her kids, they don't live together.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
They're not married. She bought the ticket. I'm sorry. She
can do with the what she wants.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Absolutely, I think it's very I mean it's very dependent though,
brit I also think if you're living together, then you're
de facto if you were to separate, he probably could
get some of it anyway. Like I think that there's
many factors that kind of change it. But if you're
not living together, it's just your boyfriend. You've been together
for four years and you have kids yourself that you
have to take care of.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Hi you're responsible for. I think it's kind of rich
of him to ask for you to also think of
it this way.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Imagine if she had got that thirty thousand dollars from
anything other than a lot of win I mean a
work bonus.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
No one's getting thirty k work bonuses, but a work
bonus or a big tax return. Right. You don't split
that money with your partner, do you.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah? No, because it's a it's money out of noble
we think split it.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
At the end of the day, she's a young mum
with kids like that is her money to do with
what she will and if she wants to put it. Also,
if she wants to put it towards the house. Chances
are in a way that's going towards him anyway, right,
like if you're going to end up sharing a house
and getting married and whatever else. But like these people
that are making her feel bad, telling us she's selfish, etcetera, etcetera.

(02:41):
I think reconsider your life choices.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
I think a lot of wins, though, are so divisive
in families and amongst people. Though, Like in my own family,
my grandparents, there was a big division between my dad's
family and my mum's family because of a lot of
win A winning lot of tickets happened to you. Yeah, yeah,
and it was Look, it did not go down well
for the burn Philippi household.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Back in the day, did your mom have Facebook?

Speaker 4 (03:06):
She was a young single mom. But no, this happened
many many years ago. Look, I mean both sides have
passed away now, so I can probably tell the story,
but I think I might save that for another day
this week.
