the Winklers maintained a record of exactly how much each
family member contributed toward the purchase of Lotto
tickets. However, each of the Winkler children and Mr. and
Mrs. Winkler both paid for and went into the store to
purchase Lotto tickets on more than one occasion. The
Winklers had no specific agreement as to how any potential
winnings would be divided among them. However, the
Winklers often discussed what they would do with any
winnings, and each family member enjoyed describing what he
or she would do with his or her separate portion of the
winnings. In this way, the purchase of Lotto tickets
became a diversion for the family during Mr. Winkler's
illness.
Mrs. Winkler never purchased any Lotto tickets for
herself, and never purchased any tickets when she was
alone. Some of the Winkler children occasionally purchased
Lotto tickets for themselves, and considered such tickets
to be their separate property. The children always kept
Lotto tickets purchased for themselves in their separate
possession. On the other hand, when a family member
purchased family tickets, he or she always purchased three
tickets and always gave them to Mrs. Winkler for storage in
the china cabinet.
