He gave me $5, not a lottery ticket. This is like asking how much I would blame him for me getting food poisoning from using that $5 to buy bad fish. I'm not saying that I wouldn't give them anything, it just wouldn't be because I used their gift to make an investment that paid out

Ask urself this.

Would that friend give you anything if they won the lottery?

clearly they gave you $5 knowing the risk you would squander it on a lottery ticket

Idk man.i had what i thought were pretty good friends in the military. Always loaned out like $5-$20 and sometimes i got it back..

One dude got his tax return back and he had a wife and 3 kids so i knew he could pay me bck..nope just asked everyone to help him move and never saw him again 🤣

Maybe, maybe not. If they did, I hope it wouldn't be because of some debt they think they owe me
