So who do you think the ticket belonged to?


I say Dennis.

It's obviously Dee, she is the one who made the decision to buy the ticket, it doesn't matter if is someone else's money, she can pay him back but ticket is hers.

Dennis.

Dee

Either Dennis or Dee. If they were normal people I would say Dee no question. But my guess is if Dee tried to pay Dennis back he wouldn't accept the $2.00, meaning it was still bought with his money...
I love this kind of episide. Macs coming out moment was nice, but I feel like it overshadowed the hilarious and expensive lottery ticket debate.
Which by the way, the arbitor had all the information and still gave the ticket to Mac,even though he STOLE it! Lol classic Sunny.

Possession is 9/10 of the law, so I say mac.

If you drop your wallet and I pick it up before you, it's mine?

reply

Ya really.

reply

This isn't The Walking Dead where something is yours as long as you claim it first. Dee bought the ticket, dropped it, and Mac picked it up like 5 seconds later. It's absolutely still her property.

Not only that, since Mac picked it up and made no reasonable attempt to return it to the owner(Dee), it's Larceny.

reply

But the ticket was paid for with Dennis' $2, so it's still his

reply

The only thing I didn't get in the argument was why frank had the hero claim when Charlie kicked the *beep* out of mac to safety.

reply

Without Frank shouting Charlie may not spring into action.

reply

Obviously but still just yelling wasn't saving him. I'm just saying if anything they should have been emphasizing Charlie and frank getting hero rewards if anything.

reply

Dennis. It was his money. I don't care if Dee chose to spend the money on something other than what he requested.

reply

Dennis's claim to the ticket is flimsy at best. If he had given her money to buy him a Lotto ticket, then it would absolutely be his, but as it stands, no arbiter would give him crap.

reply

Dee .. she stole the money from Denis technically ..

-It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything-

reply

I think at Court Dee is in favor, because she bought the ticket and it would be very hard to prove for Dennis that it is his money.
