Would you leave your partner if you won the lottery?

Question

Screenwriter · Accepted Answer

I suspect that would depend on two things: What kind of person your partner is, and what their relationship is to you and what kind of person you are and what your goals are...

If your partner is just someone you're casually with and not someone you have life goals with and who you've planned a future with, I would expect leaving them could be a possibility.

On the other hand if you were only staying with your partner because they could support you and you couldn't support yourself, then I suspect you've leave them lickety split.

There's a third scenario: If you find out that once you have the lottery money and you plan to spend it a certain way, your partner has completely different ideas of how to spend the money and of what your lives will be like.

It would be unfortunate if you were married and you came to this conclusion, because if you won the lottery and got divorced, the lottery win would be an asset earned during marriage. Even if you're not married legally, if you were living as a couple any dumb lawyer could manage to call you "defacto" marital partners if you'd been together long enough and you'd lose half of money.

But, you can't bitter about money you didn't earn that was given to you by absolute chance. If it's a big win, a take-home of 30 to 100 mil, it's enough to last anyone a lifetime and to leave a nest egg in trust for all your kids and grandkids and start charitable foundations to make the world a better place.

No, that means we finally buy a house! I could pay off my car as well and any other bills I might have. Buy furniture for the house and my daughter's room then save for travel and other investments.

NO

I wouldn't tell her about it until we were married, and I'd avoid being overt with it. I'd of course get myself a fancy ass Tesla (although I can probably already afford this now), and get us setup in a larger apartment in her complex. I'd take us out on regularly expected vacations, and probably go on the best tours, hotels/ airbnb, and restaurants during this time. I've already always paid for these things, but it's within a reasonable budget (not cheap, but we're not staying in the most expensive hotel in the city every time we go somewhere).

She'd probably think that I made a little more than I had before, but it wouldn't be excessive, and a vast majority of the money (let's say $100M, I'd put $90M in some holding account/ fund that generated high interest, while the remaining $10M was for playing around money). I wouldn't even quit my job.

Then when we were married I'd let her know that I did win, and if she wanted to know all the particulars of where we stood financially I'd tell her.

Nah man, who would prevent me from spending it all, going broke, and then have to join a dating app like POF drowning in the Dismal Swamp with all the other cat fishing bottom feeders.

Nah, be the worst thing I could do ‼️

HELL YES. Why do you need to stay with the same girl when you can get more prettier women with the moola. Come on men use the some common sense. All these people saying no are fucking lying through their teeth and you know it. That’s like asking a random girl/guy on the street if they gonna cheat. OFCOURSE they’re gonna say no. Not until they’ve been presented with the scenario. Believe me when I say this. MOST men and women would leave their partner so quickly if they found someone else with more dough. Only like 1% of people would stay.

Angelo75 · Answer

The partner that I'm with, chose me for ME.
If I won the lotery, there is a big chance that I'd end up with a partner who is with me for money.

Besides... there is something called "loyalty". If i left my partner that would make me a disloyal person. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

No, if I won the lottery well... i never did to them. I just came home, smile and went to take a dump. Usual routine... to them anways.

No lottery winnings would make no difference in our financial well-being or our relationship.
We have both inherited some money from family and it didn’t change us a bit. So I’m sure lottery winnings would have no effect either.

AnUglyBarnacle · Answer

Only if she changed. I don't like materialistic women anyway, so I'd try to avoid one from the start.

MCheetah · Answer

If I loved her, then no. If I was planning to leave her anyway, then sure. The money would have no impact on that.

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

I would stay with my girlfriend that I have been with for a little over 9 years.

admles · Answer

No, I'd be sitting down with her and we'd work out the best way to use the money Mostly it'll be a case of tell no-one, give almost nothing away to anyone with a few exceptions, and invest the rest.

I wouldn't tell a future partner that I had won the lotto before meeting her because we all know how much women love a guy with money and how conniving they can be!!!

McKellar · Answer

Regardless if I won the lottery or not, I wouldn't leave my partner. ... then again I'm sure she would inevitably leave me.
