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

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.

What an ass. If it was me I would have taken it all because he used your money to pay for the ticket.

asshole! he could have given you your $10 back AT LEAST. since you did win it, even if he drove you. when friends drive you places, you shouldn't need to pay them back every time unless they're in a financially horrible situation (in which case they shouldn't be driving you anyway).

I hate when people expect you to split your scratch card winnings for some random reason. "You only went to the store because I asked you to. I deserve half the winnings." But then doesn't my brother deserve some of the winnings for drinking all the milk, which my mom asked me to go to the store to get? Doesn't Mr. Christie deserve some of the winnings for making cookies that taste better with milk, which was what my brother was eating when he became thirsty? And so on. I ONLY split my winnings if it's agreed upon BEFORE I buy the ticket.

@104: Some people (me) have absolutely nothing more worthwhile to do than read all 132 comments at 2 in the morning. Never make generalizations to a large group of people about that same group of people. Someone will always disagree with you. @OP: that sucks. All the people that say you shouldn't expect him to give you anything really need to reevaluate their goals in life. Money isn't the only thing in the world. Endangering a friendship by refusing to split large sums of money you wouldn't have had without the friendship is stupid and selfish. morals, people, morals....

If you've never had to split for gas before, he was just being a jerk. He really had no reason to split himself, but you should have just kept your money.
