HI - I'm new- opinions please!

Hi..So nice to finally post...I have been a lurker for some time....

I was wondering if I could get your thoughts-

Today there was a raffle at work-
The following happened BEFORE the raffle took place

I was given 2 raffle tickets, but someone who knew they would not be able to receive the prize gave one of their tickets to a girl in my group. I asked if I could have one of his tickets as well(he had 4...and we were all sitting at a table when this happened) She passed the ticket that he originally gave to her to me. He then gave her another ticket, and 2 other people at our table each a ticket.

So, to make a long story short- I won with the original ticket that he gave to the girl that she then gave to me.

Do you think I should feel guilty that she originally had the ticket...in her hand for MAX 10 seconds...., and then she gave it to me...(keep in mind, she was then given another ticket)

Please give me your thoughts, I am such a worry wort! May sound silly, but I want to make sure I am not wrong by keeping the prize....its a good prize

thanks

I'd probably feel a little guilty but I'd also probably get over it.
