Default 50/50
So last night I was sellin tickets at a car cruise which also had a 50/50 going on to benefit some disability research, and had a kid with that disability pull the winning number. I think it was up to $550 when the ticket was pulled, but regardless, sparked a question: Is it customary to donate some/all of the winnings back? or is it 'acceptable' to keep it? I planned on donating $250 back if I had won, but that wasn't the case.

WWHD?

keep it

the whole point was a portion of your entry cost went to the cause. if you win there's no moral rule that says you have to give some back
