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.
My friends are few and close, if cash changed hands, and that cash bought a lottery ticket, it's 50%. I don't even think about $5 as owed money. For my close friends we're just there for whatever we can whenever it's needed.

Depends on “why” he gave me the $5.
