My close circle is already in agreement that we'll be thought of. How far outside of that is too far to ask for a cut?

Me, if it someone on my Facebook friends list, they owe me.

Something they didn't earn...how again is that earning the money? It's gambling not working for it.

Already told all close friends that if I win they are set. Got a buddy and we both agreed that we would help the other. No prob there.

No. If it was someone close to me I have no doubt they would help me if I needed it though.

They don't have to ask $200,000,000 buys enough hookers and blow for everyone to get their fill

The first things I have to pay-off are the "girlfriends." That's probably going to cost a lot, but not nearly as much as half would. Family should be cheap.

No, I would never ask for money except in the most dire situations...and then only if due to medical expenses or something beyond my control...

If I were to ever win a very large lottery, however, my plans would be to make about 35 of my closest friends and family members immediate millionaires...

I wouldn't ask for money even if my sister won.

I've told my friends everyone will get a set number depending on how close of a friend they are and by they I mean 10-15 friends

Family they will get more if they are with first cousin status

I would never ask, and if it wasn't immediate family, I'd probably give it to charity. I don't want to be in someone's debt.

This whole thread is making me thankful that I only have about 5 really good friends and barely any family.

Don't expect a dime from anyone, no matter how close they are.
