Lottery

i went to lunch with some co-workers today and we had an interesting conversation about the lottery.

sam:  man, mondays suck.  i don’t wanna work anymore.  i need to win the lottery.
alec: me too…
me:
hmm.  so let me ask you guys.  let’s say the jackpot was $50 million
and a co-worker says "hey, buy me a lottery ticket too" but doesn’t
give u the money. then u find out a few days later that one of them had
the winning numbers…would u give your co-worker $25 mil?
alec: no, definitely not.  technically, it’s still my ticket till he gives me the money.
sam: well, i’d make him give me a buck first.
sam: then i’ll give him the losing ticket.
me: how bout u jo?  would u give ur co-worker $25 mil?
jo: i dont know.  i think i would.
me: uhhh…hey jo, can u buy me a lottery ticket?
