You Lend $10 to a Friend Who Buys Powerball Tickets and Hits the Jackpot. How Much Do They Owe You?

The Powerball lottery is up over a billion dollars again, and a hypothetical scenario was presented to the internet:

A friend asks if they can borrow $10.  You hand them a ten . . . they use it to buy Powerball tickets . . . and they hit the JACKPOT.  How much do they owe you?

Someone asked, and people voted.  Here are the four options . . .

1.  Just the original $10 you loaned them.

2.  Half of the winnings.

3.  All the winnings

4.  Nothing.

The post originated on reddit.com, where is currently has thousands of votes and comments! To be fair, its an honest question, so what would you do? Do you deserve a share of the winnings?
