"They have sought professional advice and seem to be well prepared," she said.
Since the drawing was Saturday night and they all showed up for work at 9am Monday morning,I'm wondering how they found sufficient professional advice so quickly.Most,if not all, financial institutions and attorneys offices are closed on Sunday.And even if they were open on Sunday,that doesn't seem like a very long time,considering the emotional states they must be in,to be making what can only be viewed as lifechanging decisions.I would have waited until the shock wore off a little bit before stepping forward to collect my millions. "They sought professional advice.... " Probably so. A good while BEFORE the draw! What if, and then, etc. Just hope they went as far as contracts since three of the pool players did not play in this draw.

Did anyone notice how much this group contributed toward their pool? I read several articles but could not find how much each member played. Just curious cause I play enough for a pool by my lonesome, and I would sooo love to win pool money without playing in one. $5 each

First, congratulations to all the winners - a special congrats given this is my home town.
Just saw the press conference. They are all going to continue working because (among other reasons) this is tax season and to walk now would cause a real mess. I can understand - I would not walk on my boss until I made things right given how much respect I have for her.
For everyone who has debated this on LP more than once, this is a perfect example of why this is not going to work this time. These women work in a public office dedicated to, what else, money. As a group, the net worth is approximately 100M. Even if they put a true police presence on every door, from business open to business close, how long exactly can they hope to be both safe and keep their sanity? The entire world now knows where to find these women every work day, not to mention all the other personal info that will be out there.
Their wish to stay and do the job is commendable. There are just so many ways this will fail - disruption of business, safety issues, not to mention those people who come in and are unable to resolve their tax issues for very good reasons given the state of the economy, and will almost certainly know the person they are talking to is, well, a millionaire. Please don't think that I'm not giving the residents of Mon County credit - I'm related to a lot of them, after all - nevertheless, you know there will always be someone who will cause trouble. On the other hand, when hill people close ranks, you couldn't get in with a tank. There may be hope.
I hope they can work and complete the tax season for the office successfully and, most importantly, safely. It will largely depend on the public they deal with every day. I hope they work it all out and enjoy! "There are just so many ways this will fail - disruption of business, safety issues, not to mention those people who come in and are unable to resolve their tax issues for very good reasons given the state of the economy, and will almost certainly know the person they are talking to is, well, a millionaire."
Good point, but not sure if they are working directly with the public that way or just behind the scenes? I know I wouldn't be comforable working with the public in regards to money issues if I was worth millions! Money won is twice as good as money earned!

I would definitely give that game a go! I don't play scratcher games normally, but there are quite a few nice prizes in that blockbuster game. In California, the best we have is instant millionaire with 15 1st tier prizes! You'd think with this large a population you'd have a much better shot at a sizeable win. With a much smaller pop. like Mass. you have Blockbuster, Win for life, and and $800 Mil. spectacular. Makes me wonder what's going on in Sacramento!!
Mass has got the right idea! Good Luck!

If it is a good bet to play i live in las vegas .No gambling here just kidding no lottery.You all take care and be safe good luck your friend Richard I visited Cali's scratcher site also, and I counted 78 games running concurrently. Most of which do not yield sizeable enough wins to justify playing, at least not for me.
To me, it seems this is the way the big wigs in Sacramento address such a large pop.
Sort of like going to a supermarket, cruising down an aisle and seeing all the beautiful packaging, wonderful colors and oh so many choices including "New and Improved".
I would much prefer maybe 10 or 15 games total yielding sizeable prizes, starting at $1 all the way to $20. That's why I won't play these games, everyone has to be a sucker!!!
I don't know how many scratcher games run at the same time in other states, but California's ideas are sickening. The central theme being Taxation, without much effort to hide it!!
All I can do is not play!! Even when I "WIN, I haven't really. I'm tired of losing!!!
your friend,
Ed.
Good Luck Everyone!!!
