Today, I won 20 dollars on a lotto scratch off. My friend, pissed, makes me split the money, saying it was collateral for the gas money used to get us there. He then used his 10 dollars on a scratch off, and won 500 dollars. The jackass wouldn't split it. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, to prove a point to my brother that playing the lotto isn't a sure thing. I got a $10 scratcher. Thinking I'd get nothing or maybe just another scratcher, I ended up winning a free scratcher plus $100. The second scratcher I got an additional $50. Now he's even more confident he'll win every time. FML
Today, I went to get a scratch off lottery ticket, and the dude in front of me got the same one I was going to get. He won 500 dollars. I got 2 bucks. FML
Today, I was gambling on pull tabs. My friend, never much of a gambler, asked to take one. I was confused but gave one to him anyway. I got precisely $0 from them. The tab I gave to my friend was a winner. How much was it worth, you ask? Six hundred dollars. I'm very happy for him, but… seriously? FML
Today, while buying lottery tickets, I mixed up "jackpot" and "scratch off" and asked for "$10 worth of jackoffs." FML
Today, I got a scratcher lottery ticket, scratched it in the store, and won $5,000! I screamed and danced around. The guy next to me shoved me over, yanked the ticket from my hands, and tore ass out the door. The cops couldn't find him. FML
Today, I drove 3 hours to the Capitol and back to cash my winning scratch ticket of $2000. When I got there, it was pointed out to me that it wasn't in fact a winning ticket. I'd already planned a weekend vacation at an adventure park the next state over. I’m flat broke and rent is due. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home, complaining about not having enough money for bills. He then pulled a stack of lottery tickets out of his bag, saying, "I hope one of these wins." FML
Today, I won $20 on a scratch ticket my grandma bought me. She wants it back. FML
Today, I went to a casino with $300 to spend and somehow walked out with $21K. When I told my wife, she sighed and moaned about how annoying taxes will be, and how I should have pushed my luck further. The house always wins, even when it loses. FML
Today, I won $50 on the lottery. On the subway home, I checked my pocket to see if the money was still there. A very professional man in a suit yelled, "Hey, that's mine!" I got several dirty glares. I'm such a pathetic wimp that I gave him the money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"friend"? **** that. he could have given you SOMETHING... $500 is enough to hand at least $50 over... unless he was in dire need for that financially.

What a douche. Somebody who throws some shitty hissyfits over ten bucks is the kind of asshole I would distance myself from immediately.

#13, the friend could have been asking for $10 not just for gas money for when THEY were riding but for when he needs gas in the future. Either way i still agree with the whole "his friend is a douche" statement.

Heh, reminds me of something that happened to me once. I bought a pack of trading cards, and my friend made me buy one for her too, since her birthday was coming up. I got all bad cards, and she got the rarest card in the game, worth over $100. Ssure, it's unfair, but, alas, that's what you get for being generous. At least you should make him buy you a beer or something. Just try not to be too bitter about it.

I'm betting this is the kind of friend that would try to ditch him at the convenience store if he refused to split the $20 with him. Anyway, OP's friend is a prick simply by not reimbursing him for the ten bucks he used to win such a big payout. This also reminds me why I almost never loan anyone money. They ALWAYS try to make an excuse as to why they shouldn't have to pay me back, even after they said they would.

I'd sue him. Who cares if you win, at least you'll piss him off.

You could have used the same argument that he used against you to get a 50/50 split. If you did not give half of your cut to him, then he wouldn't have won that 500 bucks. That or do what #89 because this friend does not look like a keeper.

The least he could do is give you back the $10, at any rate...jeez.
