If your child won a lot of money on a scratchie, but didn't realise it - would you tell them?

Question

obviously, I am talking about young children. Honestly would you tell them & give them the money, or would you keep in yourself because you bought the scratchie? (I'm not talking about $10 or $20, I mean $100's and upwards)

Answer 1

nope

Answer 2

If they are, like, 15+ I would give it to them. If they are 2+ I would redeem it, give them the equivilant of their millions (i.e. 20 bucks), and then put the rest in savings where you can't touch it until you can decide how to best spend it for the child/family.

Answer 3

what is a young children going to do with $100? I would take and pay some bills and buy some grocery.

Answer 4

The child gets the money if I can give it to him or her but if I have to pay taxes on it then that may be difficult. If I give something it is given no strings attached.

Answer 5

lf they're 6 and above l'll tell them. ln that age, they can already understand and use reason.
l'll just ask my child to share some of the winnings to family members (makes cutesy eyes to get the hint). lol

Answer 6

i use some of it, but i would use it for something that would benifit the child and my wife and I. The rest would be put in a seperate bank account in for the kid to have when he/she gets older
