Well in that social situation they would not be expected to buy a drink.
It is the fact that they have just won a LOT of money and wish to celebrate. Unlike some people here who don't drink and wish to put down everyone else who does by referring to it as P*ssing it up the wall, it is a NORMAL social interaction that has been going on for YEARS. Anyone not doing it would be the abnormal one.
Big win, you buy yours friends/colleagues/associates a drink to celebrate.
Sorry, but I REALLY can't stand it when stingy cheapskates who don't act in a normal way try to make out that THEY are correct and every other NORMAL person on the planet is p*ssing it up the wall.
Mind you, people like that don't normally go out as if they did, they would know how to conduct themselves in a decent manner. And if they did find them self in such a social situation and behaved in that incorrect way, they would get the message VERY quickly.
What an indecent way to behave.
