      <description><![CDATA[I am in favor of group play.  Actually I coordinate our office pool (currently 24 persons).  As a coordinator you have to be strong and stick to a stern set ofrules.  Any deviation from a defined set of rules will invite trouble if the group winsany significant amount of money.  Below is a simply set of instructions that we adhere to.  Feel free to share this with others as it will eliminate any possiblelegal action by those in a working environment who choose not to play.MEGA MILLIONSAs a group...

For example, an office a friend worked at had a lotto pool.  $1 US to play, and they would buy a block of tickets, all quick picks.  There was no matching person to ticket, so no one person could claim a huge prize by stating that their dollar bought the ticket.  So it was split equally when a small jackpot was won.  But not everyone was happy with that.  I tend to like the id... [&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lotterypost.com/news/81700/177329">More</a>&nbsp;]]]></description>
