**10 pts...Friend Help ASAP... over a macbook?

So throughout Colorado there is a contest going on with the radio station I listen to. If you find an apple hidden somewhere in the state you are qualified to win a macbook with a bunch of Tobymac Solo Career songs etc on it. Its red, I think it is really cool.

My friend and I went looking for it last night in a local park. I heard the clue on the radio station. I wanted to find it really bad. I was debating weather to tell my friend or not, and just look for it by myself. I ended up telling him the clue and we went and looked for it. We, together heard another clue this morning. I called another one of my friends and he gave us the answer to the clue. So anyway, I tell him the clue and he takes off out of the car without me to go find the apple.He ends up finding it. The irony is, last night I told him where I thought it was and that is where he found it this morning.

Now we are stuck. What if we end up winning the computer? I want to keep it and he wants to sell it. Its Toby's mac, so to me it has significance.

I think I should get it because I am in the situation where I just got kicked out of my parents house, I am living with a friend, I am currently unemployed and looking for work. My financial aid didn't come through for school so I can't even go to school this semester. I am to the point where I might have to sell my valuables so I can make ends meet for the time being. I am going to have to sell my computer, probably my car, my ipod,.....

He is the kid who still lives with his parents, going to school, not in debt or anything, his parents are paying for everything for him, and now he is going to quit his job - just because he can.

He told another friend if they found it together he would give him the computer because he had a crappy one.

Sorry this is so long. What should I do? Am I wrong for wanting the computer? What is fair to both of us? Is he just being difficult? We are fighting over the macbook and don't even know if we won it yet. We agreed that we should figure something out before the drawing, so it doesn't sway our opinions.

Update:

His arguments are that "if it weren't for him I wouldn't have known what park to look at." and "He drove me around" - i do have me own car. "He was the one who actually found the apple". Honestly I need to win the argument so to say. He also called in and as of right now the prize is under his name.

HELP!!!!!

    How about shared ownership with the Mac Book staying at your house. If he has to use it, it has to be returned to YOUR HOUSE.
