      <description><![CDATA[Yes, you are correct, pumpi. They did win using a quickpick and they've been pooling their money for about a year.  However, what does quickpick have to do with a lottery pool?  Even if each of them pooled $5 each a week, they could buy 80 quickpicks.  I don't understand your comment. Are you saying that pools should only use personal numbers?  That would become very complicated. I'm guessing that most pools buy quickpicks with the money collected.]]></description>

It makes it easy when purchasing the tickets.<br /><br />It's also not a surprise that a quick pick won the jackpot .This is becoming more and more prevalent.<br /><br />DD]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The payout was over 57%, so that certainly isn't  weak  and $212K is probably equal to 3 or 4 years salary for some of these nurses, maybe more.<br /><br />They declined to comment on the lottery winnings, which will net each person roughly $375,000 before taxes.<br /><br />This cannot be right.  They chose a lump sum and the payout was $3.4M divided by 16 is around  $212K.  rdc137 is correct when he estimates they'll each receive a net of about $140K. Not bad.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[If that's weak, then you are pretty pathetic. Are these nurses supposed to be sad because they  only  won 6 million divided 16 ways?<br /><br />I don't know about you, but I and many others would be thrilled to win a couple of hundred thou for wagering a couple of dollars.<br /><br />And why is the Florida Lottery to blame for this? It could happen in any state.<br /><br />You must have a cloud of doom that follows you around.]]></description>
