Speaking of morals and ethics and about a young woman who won 78 (count 'em) million dollars, something happened a while back to me and I wondered what other people would do under the circumstances. Ready..I'm sitting at work in NY one day and my Ex (wasn't my ex yet) calls and tells me to buy $1 (two numbers) on the then $22 million dollar NY lottery. The drawings are on Wed. and Sat. This was Friday. He tells me the numbers to use for the drawing.
So, I go downstairs to buy the tickets and a few for myself and used my money. It didn't happen, but what if..
His numbers came out!!
Now, here I am with a $22 million dollar ticket in my hand that I paid for. What do you do? That's the question. I know what I would do. I'd turn in the ticket and give him a couple of million and keep the rest.
You have no idea what arguments this has caused when I ask it at parties or social engagements. Worse than guns, politics or religion ever did.
What do you think you would do? It's easy to be altruistic when it's only a game, but if it really happened..
LOVE, annap
