Dear Ann Landers,
fellow who works in this office took a girl to a church bazaar. He paid $1 each for their bingo cards. The jumbo jackpot was $200. The girl won. When they dumped the money in front of her she handed the fellow a dollar and said, "Gee, thanks. This must be my lucky night." He was burned up. The office force has mixed feelings. Was the fellow entitled to all the money, half the money, or none of the money?-Reserving Judgment

Dear Judge,
The division of potential winnings should have been settled in advance. A good arrangement would have been a 50-50 split in the event either of them won. If that greedy girl cared for the fellow, she lost a great deal more than she won.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
