You are in a small syndicate for the lottery consisting of you and your partner and 2 other couples. You always play the same numbers agreed by you all.

One weekend its your turn to pay for the tickets which you do. Your numbers come up and you win 18 million pounds.

Do you as the ticket holders honour the syndicate and split the money thereby getting 6 million per couple. Or do you keep the lot? What friendship?

I would share.

(This is the plot of a new book I have ordered in which the couple decide to keep the lot and the fallout from it.)

Its actually illegal to not share?

There is nothing official in place. No proof.

[caprimint]

But in all seriousness, would depend who the people were/how much I valued the friendship

i would share, its dishonest and you would get no pleasure from the money

life is too short to be a hideous deceitful selfish pig

Was thinking that first post didn't sound like you

I would be over the moon if my friend won £18m and I got £6m of it... So I would definitely share the money if it was me who won.

[Barry.]

If they paid half the money it's their money too. There for you are stealing if you take it all.

[Morgan.]

You can live off a million for the rest of your life if you spend it wisely so I’m not going to grumble at 6m.

[Marsh.]

Well, surly in a syndicate you all pay your share each time. We get them all the time in work. They all send the money to the person who is going actually getting the tickets. So, in that scenario the winnings are theirs too.

Also, if I was that much of a tight arse about splitting the winnings I wouldn't be in a syndicate to begin with. Just seems quite pointless if you're that selfish, just buy your own ticket.

So, to conclude, I would share.

Id definitely share. 6million is way more than plenty and you couldnt enjoy the 18million knowing how badly you screwed everyone else over

I would definitely share because I actually couldn’t live with myself if I was deceitful...and secondly if you are in a syndicate with two couples they would most probably be good friends so I wouldn’t want to lose them.
I have to say though...if we are all honest that thought would go through your mind at some point

No I don't think it would tbh, imagine if they did that to you? It's like stealing from your friends
