Dear Queenie,
A relative gave me a lottery ticket for my birthday and it turned out I won a prize with it. Now that relative expects me to share my winnings with them.
Queenie, do I have to give them some of the money?—Lucky winner
Dear Winner,
A gift belongs to the recipient to do with it as they please.
You are under no obligation to share your winnings with the person who gave you the ticket, but it would be generous of you to do so, and it is up to you just how much you decide to give them. Or, you could take them out to dinner or give them some other treat “to celebrate”.
