a lottery ticket has to be the strangest thing to give to someone for a present, esp someone you are not closely related to. There are two possible outcomes:

1. The ticket is worthless. (You gave someone a worthless present) or

2. The ticket is worth tens of millions of dollars. You just gave someone tens of millions of dollars for a birthday present, more money than you will ever have in your entire life, and they are under no obligation to share it with you.

Either way its

BTW, if you received $1M when you were 16, it would be plenty to buy a nice house near a major university, put yourself all the way through college at a reasonable pace (taking a year off between degrees) and getting your Phd

and still having plently of capitol left to start off a professional career in style

that is, as long as nobody knows you have it - otherwise you would end up giving most of it away to friends and family
