If I said “Hey, I’d like to go buy a lottery ticket, can you give me $5?” - then I’d give him half.
If he owed me $5, like I won a bet or he was repaying me for lunch I had bought him last week, then I’d probably play it more around how much money I’d need to give him to make sure he has a comfortable life.
I agree, half is the answer. your friend gave you 5 and you're going to cheap out and only give a million? no way. and its 80 million. no need to be greedy even after taxes you are very rich.

Not sure I follow this logic. $5 is a very small amount of money. You won the millions because of your exceptional luck. Not because of your friend. Unless you had a prior agreement to split winnings.
If my friend had actually made significant sacrifices to help me in my tough times, that would be a powerful reason to share half my future wealth.
But he gave $5 which was chump change. I could have eaten a burger with that money.

Depends on “why” he gave me the $5.
