Imagine you had just won 5 Million Dollars in a contest, but you entered in it with your girlfriend/boyfriend. Would you...

What would you do? And why?  
 
Note that here your girlfriend/boyfriend is also your partner in the contest, and both entered with the idea of splitting the prize in equal shares if you got any.

E.  Be happy you're past that girlfriend/boyfriend crap and realize there is no half and half, you own it both together.

" E.  Be happy you're past that girlfriend/boyfriend crap and realize there is no half and half, you own it both together. "

I meant half, I read the question wrong and thought it said you just had a girlfriend (and she didn't enter), not that she entered it with you. If I just had a girlfriend I'd give her a bit, but if she entered too I'd give half. S'only fair.

Half it, same as you would if you entered it with anyone else.

You may have a boyfriend...as long as he's female??

Wait, so did I win the contest while I had a girlfriend, or with my girlfriend. 
 
If it's the former, then fuck it the prize is mine. If it's the latter, then she gets half.

Dump!  
 
I've heard money attracts girls who really like you and like you for every reason apart from your $5 million

First question, I have a girlfriend in this scenario?  Awesome.  I'm already ahead of the game.
Second question, What kind of greedy douche needs more than 2.5 million dollars?  Split it evenly, enjoy it and if you break up later, no arguments about who's money it is. 
Third question, She's like... hot right?  :P  Just kidding.
Fourth question, The problem with owning things jointly is that not a lot of people have as much self control as I have when it comes to money.  I have this weird ability to... I think it's called SAVE money, rather than spending everything I have immediately.  I'm not saving for anything in particular, it's just good to have some "Oh, shit" funds handy.  

Seriously, she'd be like an 8 out of 10 at least?  Maybe a high 7?

You got to do the right thing. Half it.

Half and half. I'd be more than happy with 2.5 million.

" E.  Be happy you're past that girlfriend/boyfriend crap and realize there is no half and half, you own it both together. "

I chose B... but only if she was still with me, if I wasn't with her then why would I do a silly thing like give her 2 and a half million bucks? 
Even if we were together, I reckon once I gave her half, she would just leave anyway... yes, that's what I believe MANY women do, not all, but a lot of them.

If we entered in together it's the only right thing to do.

B is the only fair thing to do.  
Unless I was smart to get a prenup f.. oh right. contest.. 
Not marriage.. 

"Third question, She's like... hot right?"

I would take the prize... and then we would happily live together?

Give them half. You're a real dickasauras if you don't. 

lol, I might as well give her all of the money because she'd probably wind up spending most of it on me anyways, though probably in the most irresponsible ways possible.  
Her: "You said you wanted a pet panda and I am getting you a pet panda!" 
Me: "I was fucking kidding woman! How am I gonna take care of a panda?!" 
Her: "I'll just get you one of the people who work at the zoo then" 
Me: -facepalm- 
 
Though honestly I would probably split it down the middle. Actually I would probably give each of us 500K and let the rest build up some interest or invest it or something.  
 
 
P.S. Yes, I know I'm a lucky, lucky son of a bitch =P

B probably. 
 
Depends on the situation.

I don't think anyone needs that much money, half it at least, even then its a ridiculous sum.

two questions: 

1. what kind of contest are we talkin here? If you both enter into the spelling bee...she loses, you win, why would anyone feel obligated to split the money? i don't get the bizarro concept of a mutually entered contest that only pays out to one of the contestants.  
2. What about the prize winnings tax? If all money goes to you then you're legally obligated to pay it, if you give some to her then she's also obligated to pay it. Do you both go to federal prison if you don't pay up or does she point the finger and run?

" E.  Be happy you're past that girlfriend/boyfriend crap and realize there is no half and half, you own it both together. "

Give her half. She'd refuse but I still would.

Weird, me and my girlfriend were just discussing this. We decided on buying a house (not expensive) for us and one for her mom. We would also buy a car for me and her and buy one for her mom also. The reason why we would help her mom is because she helped us out all the time. My mom doesn't do crap. My dad already has money and well... my girlfriend doesn't talk to her dad. The rest of the money would go to charities and churches. Basically because I've heard too many lottery horror stories to even want to think about keeping the money. 

" Seriously, she'd be like an 8 out of 10 at least?  Maybe a high 7? "

Depends on the circumstances. Your question is too vague. 

buncha fucken pussies. dump her ass. why do you have a girlfriend to begin with.....your #1 problem

You'll get nothing and like it.

Girlfriend? Damn, how'd I get her? I'd dump her and take all the money.

"E.  Be happy you're past that girlfriend/boyfriend crap and realize there is no half and half, you own it both together. "

Was my girlfriend like a partner? or she was just on her own in the contest

I'd give him half then spend the majority of my half on him too!

We would take it, buy a big ass TV and quit both our jobs (or at the most just mine since it sucks terribly anyway and she can work like 2 days a week) so I can just start building computers and sell them on ebay or something for some sort of income. The rest would be put into savings where we could just shave off the interest.
 
Oh yeah and we would probably just up and leave the country for about a year and travel.
 
If you couldn't tell by now, I would totally split it with her, no question about that.

Dump the bitch. Give her a hunnerd dollar fuck you money. Then
head over to whore fest in Asia for the next decade. LOL!
 
Man I'd be happy with 1/5th of the take.

" Half and half. I'd be more than happy with 2.5 million. "

" E.  Be happy you're past that girlfriend/boyfriend crap and realize there is no half and half, you own it both together. "

I'd probably share it with her. Like we'd use it to do stuff together and spend it together. Not like half and half.

B. Shame on all who picked A.. Suck ups. >,>

Marry her and make her cheat on you so you get more than half of the money back in the divorce.

Text her, "Dear Baby, Welcome to dumpsville. Population: you." 
 
Either that, or option B (if she wanted to split it, instead of treating the money as ours)

Half if you've been with her for a long time. 
 
All for yourself if you're planning to get married or haven't been together for a long time.

Give her all the money. I don't care about money. That is a fucking lie.

Until you break up, then you'll want half of it back. "

ITS IN MY NAME IT'S MY MONEY I AIN'T CHAINED DOWN YET

D, fuck them, I have enough money to disappear and make it so I'm not found.
