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

Same thing different taste

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

Scratch cards

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

No cash for you

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 $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

Today, I won $5000 dollars from a lottery ticket and tried giving the man next to me a high five. He had no hands. FML

Today, behind a cabinet, I found a scratch-off lottery ticket I hadn't scratched yet. After scratching it off, I realized it's a $2,500 winner. The lottery commission won't accept it because they stopped using that game 2 years ago. FML

"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.

Why should he split it? You owed him for petrol, he technically doesn't owe you anything. If you were in his position I bet you wouldn't have split either.

Yes, but he bought the winning scratch ticket with OPs money! The "friend" should have given OP something, even if it was just $10. Besides that, i highly dout that is cost $10 to drive there.

I'm not trying to be a bitch, but I wouldn't spilt my winnings with my friend, especially if I'm strapped for cash. But on the other hand, I wouldn't charge my friend for gas money...unless we were going pretty far and it was pre-arranged. Sorry about your luck man!

He should at least have given you your $10 back. Then maybe another $10 because if you had never decided to split it, he would never have won it.

it's your fault for splitting your winnings with him in the first place. i doubt it cost $10 to drive to wherever you were. ydi..

He didn't ask for $10 because that is the cost of the gas, but because the gas was worth something compared to the $1 or whatever to buy the ticket. Then the $10 was all his, and he bought a ticket and won, so the proceeds are all his. Nice to see all the low-lifes here that the chance for chisel $250 of someone else's money is more important than a friendship.
