If you picked up a winning Euro lottery ticket of £50million on the floor at your workplace/shop/street which contained the address of the person that purchased the ticket inside the envelope, would you keep it or would you give it back?
Give an honest answer
Would your religious conscious overpower greed or vice versa?
Greed will lead to astray no matter what the situation will be. If I were to win I'll donate the money to the people of Gaza and to those who are in need of money such as the african community
I would never know if I picked one up. I would just pick it up as litter and drop it in the nearest trash bin, without looking close enough at it to determine if it was a winning ticket.

You know what sort of question I'm asking... The chances of finding one on the floor is almost zero but what if...

The chance of finding that lottery ticket on the floor is almost zero.
But the chance of finding a wallet that full of money ?. It's possible to be happen on us.

If for some reason I knew it was a winning ticket. I would immediately burn it. I am radically opposed to gambling in any form and I will do anything non-violent I can do to prevent anybody from profiting from gambling.
id give it back.. ive always said that of course being in that position i can honestly say i think id get alot of whispers from the shaytan to keep it because i was the one who found it.
ive been in situations where id go shopping and id pay for my stuff at the checkout there have been many times where the cashier gave me extra money back by mistake i had given it back of course but i honestly don't know what id do if ive found a lottery ticket.
i think none of us humans whether we are muslim or not can really trust ourselves and be so sure of ourselves and boast that our imans are so strong and our tawqa is, rather we should make alot of duaa that Allah should protect us from making any wrong errors that could lead us to the helfire. you could be a person who dose good deeds all your life and be a really confident person then u could make one wrong deed and all your good deeds get wiped out and end up in hell for that wrong deed. Allah says he will throw tests and trials on us to see will we slip or not and frankly anyone can.
nobody is save from the temtations of the shayytan

I did have that happen to me. I won't disclose the amount of money, but after noticing it was a very thick stack of $100 bills I did not try to count it and set about finding who lost it. There was no personal identification, but I did get the name of a person who was near to where I found it and began my search from there. It took several days, but I found the rightful owner.

Well, you never surely know before you are in the situation or experienced it. But I don't think I could possibly be so ungrateful to Allaah SWT. If I were to keep it then I would have to be extremely insane, literally.
"Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, God took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see." [Al-baqarah 2:17]

^ that extra was just extra pennies What if the cashier gave you extra money in the millions?
Give it back of course and if i couldn't find who the owner of the ticket was I'd just give it all to charity
To my Akh's tryin to stay on their deen
It gets mean especially when u stay on the scene
And at the same try to stay out of trouble
But don't forget the blessing's in the struggle...
You gotta stay on your salats, your zakats, your Quran
^ You'd burn the bus ticket after you quickly put the lottery ticket in your pockets whilst no one was looking - straight greedy business man ''Mr.busharat style'' thats if your pakistani.
