What if you accidentally have this winning lottery ticket with you and personally know who owns it.That ticket has a prize of $1,000,000 will you give it back to the owner or just keep it? Your honest opinion would be appreciated... thank you..

Tough question. I remember watching a movie with Jessica Lange in it, and her son and this other boy had gotten a hold of a lottery ticket, and the boy did all the claiming though Jessica Lange's son was the one in it too. I never forgot that. Even today. I cannot live with myself if I know whose ticket it is; but I surely would be in a position to perhaps get a piece of the pie. I know that's risky, but let's be real, I could have kept it, I didn't and it don't hurt to get something for it.

I've seen that movie too. I felt very sorry to the boy. Yes, it is tempting but where is God here?

I would keep it most deffintley because that is my probally my one and only chance of having a very happy life because I can retire at a young age and quit my lousy job. But I would feel bad and I would make it up to the person if he or she was a friend of mine I would give them a large amount like $250,000 because well it was suppose to be theres and thats the least I could do for them.

it would be a blessing to me if ever i found a ticket, hahaha. that's really a big sum of money and personally i won't give it back to the owner hahaha, so greedym huh?! but if my conscience struck me then i will give it back but in half hahaha. I'll give it back maybe if the person will owe me a lot. That person must be very thankful and give me a reward if i return it back!

I hope i can have it to myself, If i have that ticket of course i will be shocked if I will knew that how big is the prize, i will be hypocrite if i will not say that i be interested on that, But i have to think it over since during my childhood my mother always sadi to me that if a thing is not yours you should return it to the owner what ver it is. Well i will give it to the owner and its up to her/him if they will give me some as token or rewards' of course i will accept it because it was given voluntariky and thanks him or her, The amount is really big and i think it will not affect the entire amount if it will be given some of them to me.

first of all i will be honest to you i wont return it . its mine now. i found it . but better share it to the person who own it . 70/30 percent sharing 20 percent to the charity. 20 percent for my nephews only for their study, no more for in laws and cousins and relatives. so that is the fare share isnt it nice!
