Money-morality-question

Not sure if this would really be a "morality" question or not...

Let suppose you "give" someone an amount of money.
"Give" may not be the correct term, nor would "gift" - more like "got any cash on you ?" - "here, have fun and win something"

But for lack of a better term, you "give" someone an amount of money for which to gamble. Buy a lottery ticket, play slots, whatever.

Let suppose the original amount is not large. Let's say $50.

Let's suppose they win a fair amount of money. Let's say over $1000.

Since the winner had no money in which to gamble in the first place, the "giver" took the risk and made the investment.
Should the "giver" be returned any amount of money? Or only the amount of money that was "given" in the first place?

Should to winnings be split 50/50?


If you hand me a buck, and I buy a lottery ticket and win a million, should you only get a buck back?


No, this did not happen... just figurative.
