It's All about the Money, or more precisely about Who Really Won It

This story exists for its own sake. So this is how it needs to be told.
The short version is: Portuguese couple win the Euro-millions, then they break up. They are currently in Court.

The longer story is however better:
She keeps nagging him to play and finally they do: they're playing together; he pays for it [the equivalent of about EUR 6], she dictates the numbers to be played. He registers the ticket on his name.
Then, they win: 15 millions Euro, and this is where it's all getting much much funnier: She pays him back for the price of the ticket, but only EUR 2, and asks for the rest of the money [15 million - 2 Euro] for herself. He claims that, as he'd paid EUR 6, he should keep at least 2/3 of the sum [as he had only received 1/3 of the initial price back] and would give her the rest..
