Answer: If a gifted lottery ticket hits, should you give a kickback to the giver?
Clues: “Gamble” and “Presenter”
Someone asked the internet, “What’s the etiquette if you win $5,000 on a lottery ticket Christmas gift?” The best responses include: Pretend nothing happened, scratch it off privately and give the giver a kickback.
Other responses included: Use it as a test. If your friend, family member, or coworker is anything but happy you won, that’s not cool. Why would the gift be conditional on the ticket being a losing one?
Pay it forward. You buy them a lotto ticket. Split it with the giver. Several people say they’d give the gift-giver a cut, anywhere from 10% up to half.
Depends on the relationship. If it’s someone you like, share some of the winnings with them. If it’s someone you aren’t that close with, keep it as a gift.
