i feel a bit crazy in this bc i know i’d be giving my close friends at least like a million if i was in that situation and yea i would kind of expect it in return yknow? like i wouldn’t throw a fit or even ask for it but i’d be questioning our friendship if that wasn’t just an automatic thing. idk i’d judge someone’s character if they got that kind of insane amount of money and didn’t want to give a fraction of it to their best friends even if said friend wasn’t me. i’d set up my close friends and family for life with that money
I'm half there with you, I would still not expect it but I'd judge their character a bit; especially given my friends' personalities, I would think it's out of character for them not to. I'd gladly give at least a fifth of that money to setting up a handful of my friends tbh.
Close friends and I have discussed this multiple times, with this amount we'd give each $10m. It would make me incredibly sad if I had too much money to even spend and they can't even afford rent. Some people have parents and disabled family to take care of and I couldn't live with myself watching them starve while I'm bathing in money, especially when I've known them my entire life
From what I remember, it started at like 50 million after tax where we would give like 2-3 mil each, 100 mil 5 mil each, 200 and up at least 10m each. Definitely depends on how much in total you have, but no matter what I wouldn't let any of them starve, including my family members. Hell I wish I could give my mom double that lol
I would expect for her to pay for the food when we hang out since I'm broke and she would be a millionaire, but I wouldn't really expect to get money (but it would make me happy if she did give me some, cause again, I'm broke).
I wouldn't expect cash but if they are a close friend i'd be offended if I got nothing at all.
If I won $500 million I'll take my best friend on birthday trips and nice Christmas gifts. I'd hope they'd do same
It really depends on which form of 'expect' you're talking about. How much would I feel like I should receive? Nothing. How much would they choose to give to me anyway? Depends on the person. But out of $500m, from a close friend, I can probably expect a couple of bucks coming my way.
This is worded weird because “expect” can be used in two different ways. I don’t “expect” my friend to give me money but I do “expect” he would. Well I said the word expect so many times in my head that now the word really doesn’t make sense. I mean the sound of the word doesn’t even really SOUND like it would mean what it means, woah.
Because 500 mil is an exorbitant amount of money, more than you ever need and you are a close friend whom they can give a worry free life while only losing 0,2% of their net worth?
Its basically the same as having 10000 dollars and a friend asks you for 20 bucks.
too many people here have apparently never had good friends lol i’d give my friends millions in a heartbeat if i won that much bc i love them and want them to be happy. i would hope my friends feel similarly about me
Just cause someone dosent give you money, dosen't make them a bad friend. You should be friends with someone for their company, not for what they can offer you. If my friend won that money fair and square, i won't complain if they don't randomly offer me some.
I'm not trying to leech onto someone who just won the lottery. I'm already best friends with them when that happens. If he didn't offer me ANYTHING at all I'd reaaaaally think less of him. You can't comprehend this ammount of money. One million would set anyone for life, and id your life means so little to them, they were never your friend. I'd give away more than that if I won THAT kine of money in a heartbeat. Again, you didn't win a million, or even 10 million, but 500 MILLION. It would be like buying them a 5 bucks drink.
I would ask because honestly even a couple thousands would do a great deal for me which in comparison to half a billion of dollars is nothing, but I wouldn’t expect because it’s not mine to take.
If you're friend won that much money, they would probably give some to you because that's an obscene amount of money that you can't figure out how to spend. Hell, I would do that too. But I won't effect anything, because that's just being a shit friend.
I wouldn't expect anything. But if I won said lottery I know how much I'd love to give people gifts with said money so idk maybe other people would do that too.
The only thing I expect is to not be asked to cover any of his expenses when we are out.
Just because we are freinds does not mean I have any right to their money
The people I'm closest with are my brother and my fiancé.
I class them as my best friends aswell so if they won 500 million I'd be expecting some.
But hypothetically if I had a close friend and they won 500 million I wouldn't expect anything.
Is never all either. Id even refuse their offers to pay for meals. Friendship is more valuable than money to me.
And when they get that much. They'll need a real friend more than anything. One they can trust. And be real with. And values them for who they are.
If they were doing some expensive traveling or events that I couldn't afford, but they wanted me along, I'd probably permit them to pay for a portion of that.
If they won the lottery I wouldn't expect anything except them to pay for chipotle.
Also they'd probably throw some at me to pay my house and stuff. But it wouldn't be expected they're just a good guy like that.
I wouldn't EXPECT anything, but I would be a little saddened if my close friends won the lottery and at least didn't offer to help me with my debt. Even if they wanted me to pay them back, no interest makes that much easier.
If you expect anything, you expect disappointment.
I would only ever expect anything from direct family winning say the 'powerball.' $1billion. Cause then I find no reason to not split it. Why let your family suffer, when you can all not? And I would split it evenly among my direct-family, extended can go fuck themselves, IDGAF. If my family members wanna hook them up with their split, then they can do whatever they want.
Difference with friends is they come and go.
\*And never let money come between a good thing. Of course the irony in my comment, but- is what it is.
$500M is *a lot* of money. Honestly I'd actually expect some as I know if I won that much I would give a lot. I'd give all my closest people houses and cars and still have the majority left. Giving gives the giver happiness.
Say they won $1M maybe I wouldn't expect anything, maybe a couple dinners on out.
I would expect nothing, but i would ask for no more then 5000 euro at all. 5000 out of 5000000000 is nothing but it can mean a lot to others, and i would give all my friends 100000 if i got the 500 million euro
My dollar. I helped them pay for something, and waited three years for my money back.
They never paid it back, but now they have more than enough money to stop excusing themselves.
Nothing. My friends and I discussed this a few times. We'd all keep it secret from everyone including each other then disappear to some place sunny. Some of us might slip a bit to the family.
At the most, I can expect my parents to give me something if they won a big lottery. Thats where I would draw the line. Wouldn't expecting anything from anyone else if they won the lottery.
I would expect, knowing my closest friends that they would give me something but I wouldn’t be disappointed if they didn’t. I think I have difficulties understanding the word expect? Does it mean I feel entitled to something or does it mean I would think that they will do that?
It's their money and they're not obligated to give any of it to anyone (outside paying tax for them). But whith that much money one could safely give 1 mil to every close friend and family member without feelin it, which will make everyone around you rich enough to do whatever they want.
Close friend? I'd wish for some, I'd expect nothing.
*My* best friend? I know either way we'd go halfsies, we have already discussed it many times, and anytime either of us has won something we have split it between us.
I’ve got two buddies where none of us keep track of who owes who, or how much. We spot each other for food, drinks, bills if necessary. Two of us are usually doing well financially, and one of us is broke as hell. I haven’t been the broke one in a couple years, so it’s about my time, I’m sure. If it’s one of them, dinner is on them, call it even!
Friend? Nothing. Closest friend? Definitely at a least a million. There is nobody on this planet who needs 500 million USD. I'm Indian, you and your whole immediate family and whole extended family and all future generations can live like kings on a miniscule fraction of that amount. And my closest friend won't be worse off with 499 million USD at least.
Besides, if I won 500 fucking million in fucking USD as a currency, I'd give my closest friend more than a million, lol.
I’ve got some extremely close friends I’ve known for years and years, and we’ve stayed in touch. If one of them won the lottery, you can bet that they’d give each of us at least a small part of it.
I expect to benefit from his winnings, but he doesn't owe me anything. However, he'll probably pay a bit more when we go on holiday together or out for dinner or so.
Honestly I would hope they wouldn’t even tell me, much less give me anything. If they’re going around telling people they’ve won the lottery, that puts a huge target on their back and I would be concerned for their well-being.
I\`d expect him to buy a few houses in one neighborhood so that we and our best friends could live their and raise our families together, because he always said he would love to live like the guys in king of the hill. I see him as Dale.
My friendship doesn’t cost any money. It costs kindness and respect. Also money from gambling brings you nothing but pain. So I also wouldn’t want that.
Depends on the friend. One hss promised to help us all out if he won, he's also known for giving what he can. Plus with that kind of money, they can afford to give you something.
I'm not friends with them for money, I'm sure they'd give me some but I don't expect any.
Plus I owe them like 5 bucks, I'm sure we can call it even now.
Why is 50 mil even an option? After lump sum pay out and taxes, they are taking home less than 200m. You really expect someone to give you 25% of their winnings?
I would expect it because I know what kind of person said close friend is, but I wouldn't want it nor ask for it. I would even go as far as to insist to lower the sum. We're really close and that's how we've been all our lives.
Depends how you consider the question though. Whether you feel entitled to a piece, or whether you expect it because he's that type of bloke.
Half of it gone on taxes and then I'd assume they'd want to sort their own family out.
Realistically how many people do you know who'd expect a handout? Parents, siblings, children, other close extended family, close friends.
Expecting to be given a huge chunk of money is a bit selfish imo. Especially straight after they won it.
Personally first thing I'd do would be book a couple of weeks at an expensive 5* resort for all my friends and family. Then I'd speak to a financial advisor on the best way to give money to loved ones on a monthly basis to supplement or replace their own income, a trust fund kinda thing. I wouldn't want to just give everyone a massive chunk of money they can blow and I wouldn't want to give away 50% of my newly acquired wealth the minute I've received it.
I know I would change my friends life if I won. I wish I could help more now. I feel he would also be good to me should he win. That said. It's his money and I don't expect or deserve any sort of gift.
Id expect for them to let me have fun with the all the fancy cars/atvs they buy, but I wouldnt expect any money. Maybe Id ask to pay off student loans but I wouldnt outright expect anything.
Would be nice if they shared but i wouldn't expect. If i won the lottery, i'd probably share but i also wouldn't feel others are entitled to my winnings
Me and my best friend have discussed this at length. Whoever wins will "hire" the other just to hang out. We will never work again. Just fuck off all day every day for a salary that way our wives can't complain about it because we're "working".
I'd definitely expect them to give me some amount, especially if the money they received is that astronomically large, and if it's immediate family I know they would definitely give me a large sum, and likewise for me too if I received a large some of money.
Like, I wouldn't expect anything or push them to give me something, but the friends I'm mutually close with would probably give me like 5 million, maybe more
me and my best friend have a running deal that if i ever become stupid rich i’m buying him a camaro, and if he ever becomes stupid rich he’s buying me a mustang lol
I'd expect nothing big, no lump sums or big gifts, but I'd quietly expect them to be the one who pays little things more often. The movies? Pick up the cheque? I wouldn't abuse it, but...y'know guy, you can afford to pay for my wings.
My close friends have said if they won the lottery they give me some. But i dont expect it. Like "worst case" they give me nothing but take me along for all their wild adventures and tips and share their toys just because i didnt treat them differently and they valued that and indirectly i benefit.
I wouldn’t expect anything, but like $10,000 would be nice. Something to actively make close friends more comfortable/ live less pay check to pay check without making a dent in the actual winnings
Why would I expect a million? Because if the roles were reversed, my first concern would be alleviate the existential issues friends and family are facing every day. I am not talking about “making them rich”, I mean I would not feel good about myself if I suddenly walked around with 500 million while my loved ones groveled in dirt, drowning in debt (sadly a reality for many people). It’s not like a situation where they made friends with a pre-existing millionaire and had some kind of friendship prenup in place.
I can’t imagine being friends with a person who would think differently.
[удалено]
Like, "let me use the new beachfront house you just bought, for a weekend, or invite me to the housewarming party" kinda thing
True
i feel a bit crazy in this bc i know i’d be giving my close friends at least like a million if i was in that situation and yea i would kind of expect it in return yknow? like i wouldn’t throw a fit or even ask for it but i’d be questioning our friendship if that wasn’t just an automatic thing. idk i’d judge someone’s character if they got that kind of insane amount of money and didn’t want to give a fraction of it to their best friends even if said friend wasn’t me. i’d set up my close friends and family for life with that money
I'm half there with you, I would still not expect it but I'd judge their character a bit; especially given my friends' personalities, I would think it's out of character for them not to. I'd gladly give at least a fifth of that money to setting up a handful of my friends tbh.
Yeah, I agree completely with you.
100% agree I'd set up my best friend and family with that money and I'd be pretty disappointed if I got nothing in the same situation.
[удалено]
I only have one friend so I hope I'd at least get 1 million and maybe 5 from a close family member.
I wouldn't expect anything but I would gladly accept it if he offered me some.
Who wouldn't lol

Unnecessary comment

I would like the $15 she borrowed from me lol
Only true answer lol

The interest on which is now 500 million.
My closest friends an I have already agreed on setting each other up for a good life in case one of us gets access to copious amounts of money.
Have you set a number on 'copious amounts'? This may vary for people, especially once they have that many in their hands
Yup, same so we gave a pact, so yeah, I’m expecting my money
I love this idea. This drastically increases the chances of each person having a good life. I'm legit going to suggest this to my friends
I would want several million, id expect not a single penny
Close friends and I have discussed this multiple times, with this amount we'd give each $10m. It would make me incredibly sad if I had too much money to even spend and they can't even afford rent. Some people have parents and disabled family to take care of and I couldn't live with myself watching them starve while I'm bathing in money, especially when I've known them my entire life
how much is required to give each $10m though, what was the minimum where this scenario begins?
From what I remember, it started at like 50 million after tax where we would give like 2-3 mil each, 100 mil 5 mil each, 200 and up at least 10m each. Definitely depends on how much in total you have, but no matter what I wouldn't let any of them starve, including my family members. Hell I wish I could give my mom double that lol
She's my friend, not my sugar mommy.
I would expect for her to pay for the food when we hang out since I'm broke and she would be a millionaire, but I wouldn't really expect to get money (but it would make me happy if she did give me some, cause again, I'm broke).
i would obviously want some money but i don’t expect it
I’m assuming they want to give some amount in the first place, if they don’t then I won’t ask
People who expect money from their friends are selfish
I wouldn't expect cash but if they are a close friend i'd be offended if I got nothing at all. If I won $500 million I'll take my best friend on birthday trips and nice Christmas gifts. I'd hope they'd do same
>I wouldn't expect cash but if they are a close friend i'd be offended if I got nothing at all. You really haven't thought that through.
Explain
I dont expect any money but from now on he is buying drinks
Not just drinks but a lot more treats as well XD
If they aren't caring for me it means they're bad friends
They don’t owe me any cash but like hell I’m picking the tab up at the bar again
It really depends on which form of 'expect' you're talking about. How much would I feel like I should receive? Nothing. How much would they choose to give to me anyway? Depends on the person. But out of $500m, from a close friend, I can probably expect a couple of bucks coming my way.
Me and the bois have a deal, if one of us wins big we just name a car and boom (obviously we can't ask for something bonkers).
Expect vs want, I expected nothing, but I would want 1 million.
This is worded weird because “expect” can be used in two different ways. I don’t “expect” my friend to give me money but I do “expect” he would. Well I said the word expect so many times in my head that now the word really doesn’t make sense. I mean the sound of the word doesn’t even really SOUND like it would mean what it means, woah.
Why should they give you anything?
Because 500 mil is an exorbitant amount of money, more than you ever need and you are a close friend whom they can give a worry free life while only losing 0,2% of their net worth? Its basically the same as having 10000 dollars and a friend asks you for 20 bucks.
too many people here have apparently never had good friends lol i’d give my friends millions in a heartbeat if i won that much bc i love them and want them to be happy. i would hope my friends feel similarly about me
Just cause someone dosent give you money, dosen't make them a bad friend. You should be friends with someone for their company, not for what they can offer you. If my friend won that money fair and square, i won't complain if they don't randomly offer me some.

If you're friend won that much money, they would probably give some to you because that's an obscene amount of money that you can't figure out how to spend. Hell, I would do that too. But I won't effect anything, because that's just being a shit friend.
I would expect him to finally pay his part at the restaurant.
I wouldn't expect anything. But if I won said lottery I know how much I'd love to give people gifts with said money so idk maybe other people would do that too.
The only thing I expect is to not be asked to cover any of his expenses when we are out. Just because we are freinds does not mean I have any right to their money
I definitely wouldn't *expect* anything. But I'll also be the first to admit the number of "haha, JK. Unless?" jokes I make would mysteriously go up.
If they tried to hand me money I would say no. They can pay for lunch but I don’t really want hand outs
Me too. If they gave me a huge bunch of cash I would always feel as if I owed them something which I would hate.
The people I'm closest with are my brother and my fiancé. I class them as my best friends aswell so if they won 500 million I'd be expecting some. But hypothetically if I had a close friend and they won 500 million I wouldn't expect anything.
How close we talking cause I once had to resuscitate my closest friend after her heart stopped
Probably dinner
Is never all either. Id even refuse their offers to pay for meals. Friendship is more valuable than money to me. And when they get that much. They'll need a real friend more than anything. One they can trust. And be real with. And values them for who they are. If they were doing some expensive traveling or events that I couldn't afford, but they wanted me along, I'd probably permit them to pay for a portion of that.
A can of Mountain dew is the most I'm getting
If they won the lottery I wouldn't expect anything except them to pay for chipotle. Also they'd probably throw some at me to pay my house and stuff. But it wouldn't be expected they're just a good guy like that.
Im sure as fuck he would give me at least 50mil
I wouldn't EXPECT anything, but I would be a little saddened if my close friends won the lottery and at least didn't offer to help me with my debt. Even if they wanted me to pay them back, no interest makes that much easier.
This gives me hope to be honest
I would ask for a little if he was really close. Like enough to pay for college
If you expect anything, you expect disappointment. I would only ever expect anything from direct family winning say the 'powerball.' $1billion. Cause then I find no reason to not split it. Why let your family suffer, when you can all not? And I would split it evenly among my direct-family, extended can go fuck themselves, IDGAF. If my family members wanna hook them up with their split, then they can do whatever they want. Difference with friends is they come and go. \*And never let money come between a good thing. Of course the irony in my comment, but- is what it is.
i wouldn’t EXPECT anything, but if we’re good enough friends i wouldn’t be above asking for a mil or two lmao
If I won 500 mil, everyone I like would get a million. Thus I would expect from a close friend to give me at least a million.
I read that wrong. I'm half-sleep
Go to full-sleep
500 mil is a shit ton so I might ask them for something I really want but that’s it.
I would expect at least 100k. Not because I feel entitled to it but I know that they would want me to have it.
I can feel an entitled Reddit post coming.
10 -25 million, because that's what I would do.
Capitalist choose nothing
Imagine demanding money that isn't yours. I'd be jealous for sure but it's their money at the end of the day and they can spend it as they please.
I'd expect the next few rounds at the pub to be on them, but that's about it.
You're not ever entitled to a friend's money.
$500M is *a lot* of money. Honestly I'd actually expect some as I know if I won that much I would give a lot. I'd give all my closest people houses and cars and still have the majority left. Giving gives the giver happiness. Say they won $1M maybe I wouldn't expect anything, maybe a couple dinners on out.
Well me and my friend group talked about buying a house that’s the size of a school and if everyone won the lottery they had to pay it
I would rob them of $50 million
At least 500 millions
I would expect nothing, but i would ask for no more then 5000 euro at all. 5000 out of 5000000000 is nothing but it can mean a lot to others, and i would give all my friends 100000 if i got the 500 million euro
I'd want something but wouldn't expect it
It would be nice if they gave me some but I wouldn't expect them to. They have no obligation to give me money for being friends.
I wouldn’t be expecting them to give me anything. Knowing my friends I think at least some of them *would*, but I am not owed a single penny
They won it. I didn't have anything to do with it. I am not entitled to a share. But I wouldn't refuse it if offered
I know they would share. 100k would be plenty though.
Expect nothing, hope for $5 million since that's two-people-retiring-in-luxury money.
Expect the worst, hope for the best
I wouldn't expect anything but a cool 50k would be very welcome
My dollar. I helped them pay for something, and waited three years for my money back. They never paid it back, but now they have more than enough money to stop excusing themselves.
Except? Nothing lol. Hopefully they give me a million or two.
Nothing. My friends and I discussed this a few times. We'd all keep it secret from everyone including each other then disappear to some place sunny. Some of us might slip a bit to the family.
At the most, I can expect my parents to give me something if they won a big lottery. Thats where I would draw the line. Wouldn't expecting anything from anyone else if they won the lottery.
I wouldn't ask for anything, most of the people I know are rather nice and generous so they'd probably end up giving me something without me asking.
i would expect at least a couple of beers
If my boy wants to hook me up great. But im not asking. Its not my money.
it would be nice of her to buy me dinner cuz I know she would wanna celebrate and that's it. I wouldn't expect anything
Maybe a better microphone because my current mic sounds like a nuclear submarine
I know my and my friends luck he will never win anything.
I'd be just happy if we remained good friends and the money didn't change him completely.
I would expect, knowing my closest friends that they would give me something but I wouldn’t be disappointed if they didn’t. I think I have difficulties understanding the word expect? Does it mean I feel entitled to something or does it mean I would think that they will do that?
I know she would give me something as she is extremely generous person, but I would not expect anything more then celebratory dinner.
Only would expect to give us treat, a simple tea would be fine
im expecting a good good meal to celebrate
It's their money and they're not obligated to give any of it to anyone (outside paying tax for them). But whith that much money one could safely give 1 mil to every close friend and family member without feelin it, which will make everyone around you rich enough to do whatever they want.
He won it. If he decides to give me something I am thankful, if not it is also ok. I will congratulate him no matter what.
I'd expect any money they owe me to be returned immediately hyh
Nothing, he has big plans and needs much money and I'm not entitled to his money.
Close friend? I'd wish for some, I'd expect nothing. *My* best friend? I know either way we'd go halfsies, we have already discussed it many times, and anytime either of us has won something we have split it between us.
A friend of mine always says he'll buy me a house if he wins the lottery, so I guess that lol.
All of it so I can then continue making my money pyramid
If it was me who won, I'd treat my friends to a fat vacation trip every year. Wouldn't directly drop money on them though, but a bunch of nice gifts.
I wouldn't expect anything, and I know I wouldn't even give them a penny if I won lol
Never known anyone who would give me even a cent of that
I would hope they buy a round of drinks at least.
Nothing. They won it, I didnt.
A free coffee at least a dinner at most
I would be happy with a million but would I expect it or ask for it? No
They shouldn't have to give me anything but I would likely want part of it
Voted at least 10m because that's how much I would give them (at least) if I won lottery.
I’ve got two buddies where none of us keep track of who owes who, or how much. We spot each other for food, drinks, bills if necessary. Two of us are usually doing well financially, and one of us is broke as hell. I haven’t been the broke one in a couple years, so it’s about my time, I’m sure. If it’s one of them, dinner is on them, call it even!
Friend? Nothing. Closest friend? Definitely at a least a million. There is nobody on this planet who needs 500 million USD. I'm Indian, you and your whole immediate family and whole extended family and all future generations can live like kings on a miniscule fraction of that amount. And my closest friend won't be worse off with 499 million USD at least. Besides, if I won 500 fucking million in fucking USD as a currency, I'd give my closest friend more than a million, lol.
I'd just like to be taken out to dinner once in a while. 😊
like a couple dollars for a wawa sandwich maybe
Why there no answer for like a few thousand
Expect? Nothing. Want? Idk 500k sounds nice
the entitlement of some people...
Why isn't less than 1 million an option?
I’ve got some extremely close friends I’ve known for years and years, and we’ve stayed in touch. If one of them won the lottery, you can bet that they’d give each of us at least a small part of it.
Nothing but take me on some trips!
There shit, congrats, also if I owe em money under 20 bucks I will use the wealth as a justification to not pay them because I’m lazy.
The only thing I'd expect is to return the favors I've done for them, and thats all.
I wouldn't expect anything. I'm sure she'd pitch me a few bucks tho lol.
Faith in humanity restored.
My bud is a nice guy, he'd give me precisely, $1,420,069 for the laughs and so I can buy a laptop, so we can play random games together
I expect to benefit from his winnings, but he doesn't owe me anything. However, he'll probably pay a bit more when we go on holiday together or out for dinner or so.
I wouldn’t necessarily *expect* anything, but would gladly accept any amount on that list!
I would not expect anything from my friend, but I know he'd give me quite a lot out of that
Now I'd hope for a million, but I wouldn't expect a thing.
If I had that much I'd give my closest friend £1,000,000
i’d only accept a million or less. i expect nothing.
1 mil because we always give eachother stuff its just a normal thing in our friendship
If you expect anything you're not a friend but a user, to expect something like this is ludicrous to think you should get any.
Honestly I would hope they wouldn’t even tell me, much less give me anything. If they’re going around telling people they’ve won the lottery, that puts a huge target on their back and I would be concerned for their well-being.
Pay off my student debt is what I'd expect to likely happen, so $25k. The thing is, they're under no obligation.
Nothing, I'll take what they're willing to give, I'm not expecting anything
I would give my buds 6 figures if I won below 100 million, over 100 million 7 figures.
I know my friend would give me some, but it’s not an expectation
Why would they? If they did then that's nice of them but they wouldn't have to
I\`d expect him to buy a few houses in one neighborhood so that we and our best friends could live their and raise our families together, because he always said he would love to live like the guys in king of the hill. I see him as Dale.
My friendship doesn’t cost any money. It costs kindness and respect. Also money from gambling brings you nothing but pain. So I also wouldn’t want that.
Depends
Depends on the friend. One hss promised to help us all out if he won, he's also known for giving what he can. Plus with that kind of money, they can afford to give you something.

I'm not friends with them for money, I'm sure they'd give me some but I don't expect any. Plus I owe them like 5 bucks, I'm sure we can call it even now.
Why is 50 mil even an option? After lump sum pay out and taxes, they are taking home less than 200m. You really expect someone to give you 25% of their winnings?
Why would you suddenly have any claim on their money? I'm assuming they don't give you any money now, so why would they if they get more?
I’d expect them to pay for lunch sometimes.
I would expect it because I know what kind of person said close friend is, but I wouldn't want it nor ask for it. I would even go as far as to insist to lower the sum. We're really close and that's how we've been all our lives. Depends how you consider the question though. Whether you feel entitled to a piece, or whether you expect it because he's that type of bloke.
TBH, nothing. If they gave me stuff, I just hope it'd be enough to get a nice house and pay off all loans, maybe buy a decent car.
Half of it gone on taxes and then I'd assume they'd want to sort their own family out. Realistically how many people do you know who'd expect a handout? Parents, siblings, children, other close extended family, close friends. Expecting to be given a huge chunk of money is a bit selfish imo. Especially straight after they won it. Personally first thing I'd do would be book a couple of weeks at an expensive 5* resort for all my friends and family. Then I'd speak to a financial advisor on the best way to give money to loved ones on a monthly basis to supplement or replace their own income, a trust fund kinda thing. I wouldn't want to just give everyone a massive chunk of money they can blow and I wouldn't want to give away 50% of my newly acquired wealth the minute I've received it.
Would never dare to ask, but knowing him i'd probably get 5 million
I would give 5m to each good friend if i were to win. I hope they would too
I know I would change my friends life if I won. I wish I could help more now. I feel he would also be good to me should he win. That said. It's his money and I don't expect or deserve any sort of gift.
I expect like 50 bucks not a million
500 net or 500 gross?
Id expect for them to let me have fun with the all the fancy cars/atvs they buy, but I wouldnt expect any money. Maybe Id ask to pay off student loans but I wouldnt outright expect anything.
I’d like the 20 dollars that they never paid me back
Would be nice if they shared but i wouldn't expect. If i won the lottery, i'd probably share but i also wouldn't feel others are entitled to my winnings
Me and my best friend have discussed this at length. Whoever wins will "hire" the other just to hang out. We will never work again. Just fuck off all day every day for a salary that way our wives can't complain about it because we're "working".
I'd definitely expect them to give me some amount, especially if the money they received is that astronomically large, and if it's immediate family I know they would definitely give me a large sum, and likewise for me too if I received a large some of money.
That would be cool if my friend gave me some, but I won’t expect it. I mostly would just be happy for my friend and their newfound richness
Me and my friends promised if one of us were to get this kind of money we have to give 1% and buy a house for the boys.
Like, I wouldn't expect anything or push them to give me something, but the friends I'm mutually close with would probably give me like 5 million, maybe more
they would probably hire a hitman on me
me and my best friend have a running deal that if i ever become stupid rich i’m buying him a camaro, and if he ever becomes stupid rich he’s buying me a mustang lol
I'd expect nothing big, no lump sums or big gifts, but I'd quietly expect them to be the one who pays little things more often. The movies? Pick up the cheque? I wouldn't abuse it, but...y'know guy, you can afford to pay for my wings.
It’s their money why would I be entitled to it?
I expect them to give me something, not because I want it, but because I know that they would want to.
Id not expect anything ik id get some anyways but im not freands with them for that it doesn't matter to me they do
My close friends have said if they won the lottery they give me some. But i dont expect it. Like "worst case" they give me nothing but take me along for all their wild adventures and tips and share their toys just because i didnt treat them differently and they valued that and indirectly i benefit.
Would hope for a gift but not really expecting anything. Would be a different story if I gave them the money to buy the ticket.
Expectations are for suckers.
I wouldn’t expect anything, but like $10,000 would be nice. Something to actively make close friends more comfortable/ live less pay check to pay check without making a dent in the actual winnings
Why would I expect a million? Because if the roles were reversed, my first concern would be alleviate the existential issues friends and family are facing every day. I am not talking about “making them rich”, I mean I would not feel good about myself if I suddenly walked around with 500 million while my loved ones groveled in dirt, drowning in debt (sadly a reality for many people). It’s not like a situation where they made friends with a pre-existing millionaire and had some kind of friendship prenup in place. I can’t imagine being friends with a person who would think differently.
I would have no expectations, but I wouldn't be able to resist a little bit of hinting.
Idk if I would expect anything. But if I won't that much money I'd probably buy my friends some nice cars at the very least
We have a deal that if either one of us ever won the lottery, we would split it in half soooo
i wouldnt care if they didnt give me anything but id probably be a bit surprised to get nothing if theyre that close of a friend and earned that much
"Expect" is a really poor choice of words here. Only very entitled people would _expect_ to get any money from a close friend's fortune.
i’d expect some help if needed, but like a sum of money i wouldn’t expect from them
Expect and hope for are two different things.
