WEBVTT - MINI: Do you have to split a lottery win with your partner? 💸

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:00.559
<v Speaker 1>Picture this.

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 2>You just win yourself big cash on a scratchy on

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 2>the lotto, you win big, you go to celebrate with

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 2>your partner and they say to you, hey, we're splitting this, right.

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:12.639
<v Speaker 2>That's a tricky conversation, I think a conversation that I

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 2>think people think about when they go and buy that

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of ticket. Do you get to keep all

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 2>the money or do you share it with your partner?

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, it depends on how long you've been with your partner.

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:21.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, one hundred percent. Have you been with them a

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 3>hot second? Are you married, live with them kids?

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Have listened to this. So this is a situation that's

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>currently unfolding on Facebook.

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>It's going super viral at the moment. A young mum

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>has won the lotto. She won, we don't know exactly

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 2>how much, but she says it was half her yearly salary,

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 2>So we can assume, you know, maybe thirty forty thousand dollars.

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean they're still a lot of money. But

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 4>it's not like twelve million dollar win, is it. No

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 4>one's quitting their day job.

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>So listen, we know for a fact they were together

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 2>for four years. They've been together four years. She says

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 2>she won the lot of ticket that she bought on

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 2>a whim. By the way, she just went walked in,

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>grabbed a lot of ticket and won the money. She

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>turned to the boyfriend and she said, you know, I'm

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>going to put the money towards my kids. They're college,

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe do some upgrades to the house. He turns to

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>her and says, what about my half? What about my heart?

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 2>This is going super viral. She's come out and said, look,

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 2>if I'd won six million, I'd have no problem giving

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 2>him half because it would be so easy to live

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 2>off three million. But a quarter of one new salary

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 2>won't help me.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Much, is what she said. If she splits it with him.

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>So the internet's now saying, no, here's your partner, split

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 1>it with him.

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 3>I actually reading some of the comments now, I'm actually suok.

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Someone's like, is.

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 3>Half the plot worth more than your relationship? If it is,

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 3>then you shouldn't be in the relationship. I call him

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.479
<v Speaker 3>BS on this. I think if she's one, if we're

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 3>going with like thirty to forty thousand dollars, if she

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 3>has won that and she wants to put that towards

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 3>her kids, they don't live together.

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>They're not married. She bought the ticket. I'm sorry. She

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>can do with the what she wants.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, I think it's very I mean it's very dependent though,

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 4>brit I also think if you're living together, then you're

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 4>de facto if you were to separate, he probably could

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 4>get some of it anyway. Like I think that there's

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 4>many factors that kind of change it. But if you're

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 4>not living together, it's just your boyfriend. You've been together

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 4>for four years and you have kids yourself that you

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 4>have to take care of.

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Hi you're responsible for. I think it's kind of rich

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>of him to ask for you to also think of

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>it this way.

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Imagine if she had got that thirty thousand dollars from

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 2>anything other than a lot of win I mean a

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>work bonus.

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.399
<v Speaker 1>No one's getting thirty k work bonuses, but a work

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>bonus or a big tax return. Right. You don't split

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that money with your partner, do you.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? No, because it's a it's money out of noble

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 2>we think split it.

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 3>At the end of the day, she's a young mum

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>with kids like that is her money to do with

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 3>what she will and if she wants to put it. Also,

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 3>if she wants to put it towards the house. Chances

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 3>are in a way that's going towards him anyway, right,

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 3>like if you're going to end up sharing a house

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 3>and getting married and whatever else. But like these people

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 3>that are making her feel bad, telling us she's selfish, etcetera, etcetera.

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 3>I think reconsider your life choices.

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree.

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 4>I think a lot of wins, though, are so divisive

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 4>in families and amongst people. Though, Like in my own family,

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 4>my grandparents, there was a big division between my dad's

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 4>family and my mum's family because of a lot of

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 4>win A winning lot of tickets happened to you. Yeah, yeah,

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 4>and it was Look, it did not go down well

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 4>for the burn Philippi household.

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Back in the day, did your mom have Facebook?

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 4>She was a young single mom. But no, this happened

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 4>many many years ago. Look, I mean both sides have

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 4>passed away now, so I can probably tell the story,

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 4>but I think I might save that for another day

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 4>this week.
