I would honor the deal without question. 1) Keeping my word is important. If I was being serious when I made the deal, I'd be serious when it comes time to pay up. 2) I don't care about being rich. It's 22 mil (probably 12-15 after taxes). No matter how you split it, he's still going to be a millionaire, so why not stick to your principles?
The lowest Powerball jackpot is $40 Mil. So I'm guessing the $22M is after taxes.
That means he can give his homie $11 M and keep $11M.
If he has any sense, he'll be able to live off that for the rest of his life.
