I guess it depends on the way he gave it to you; I don't think a one dollar bill really matters very much - I'm sure he'll be all right with it. It may have been insulting for you to get it from him, but it would be too much of a story for you to return it back to him. I'm sure he felt funny winning two dollars. Just thank him, keep the dollar, and let him know that it was meant for him to keep. If you're a little iffy and self-conscious about it, buy him a cup of coffee. It's only generosity and kindness exchanged.

Sounds like it was given as sort of a thank-you for you thinking of him and getting him a gift. I would tell him that it was meant for him but also thank him for giving you a dollar of it. Keep the dollar. Giving it back would insult him. Hope this helps.
