Succulent or cactus???

My mother in law picked this plant up without asking questions. My wife and I have disagreed over the type. Can anyone help identify it so we can send her mother home with care instructions?

I know that it is as euphorbia of some kind. Can't tell you which one. But for the record, ALL cacti are succulents.

Yes, a succulent...Euphorbia lactea crest, I believe.
