Ohio man sues for share of $99M lottery jackpotReply
Yep, as he told and you mentioned, those 5 months paid on behalf of another pool member previously, PLUS the monies that he paid previously for other pool members previously definitely make a good evidence for the Judge being forced to act as done, include him into 1/23 of the payment of the lump-sum payouts from the Ohio Lottery Headquarters! Though, really, here is a man, knows it's his last day at work before 'sick-leave', he has pre-scheduled surgery and spoken with the surgeon; therefore

Connecticut man sues friend for share of lottery prizeReply
Hum, perhaps the man is supposed to be satisfied receiving $74 of the $75 he provided from the final week's lottery pool The lesson here is what several of the above said: get written agreements and copies of each of the drawing's tickets purchased (to show a paper trail of combined pooled money if in court). I also am sorry for spouses to these types of thieves who are put in the middle. Though, truly $75 a week submittal into a lottery pool is a HUGE investment spanning often months or yea

Man quits lottery pool, then wins with Quick PickReply
I onced belonged to a Lottery Pool of 10. I liked being in a pool because you played with everyone's money, not just your own. We had 2 designated people that we wanted to buy and distribute the copies of tickets. Our problem was, the nay sayers! OMG too much negativity brings negative vibes and we really didn't win anything. We chose half and half (QP and self picks). We did this for about a year and I was the first to break camp b/c of all the negativity. Some members couldn't afford to play f

NY lottery pool members sue over Mega Millions jackpotReply
The article says the co-workers sued him two weeks after he won. That was back in November.The article also says he used what the pool won to buy more tickets. That's what's going to lose him the money. Piccolo's wife is the greedy one. She's the one that told him not to split it with the group.The problem is 50-50 both Piccolo's and the group's fault. What idiot joins a pool that doesn't put out copies of the tickets. And what idiot runs a pool that doesn't put out tickets BEFORE the draw

Judge Refuses To Dismiss Lawsuit Over $25M Lottery TicketNews Story
A judge Wednesday refused to dismiss a lawsuit by a group of Englewood hospital workers who claim they were cheated out of a $25 million lottery prize.

Members of a Belgian lottery pool who thought they had won 27 million euros (US$35.8 million) were devastated when they found the wrong numbers had been entered.

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winReply
Hmmm.... Then, why can't the folks running Lottery Post, do something similar? Have a lottery pool feature on this site, that you can join once you're logged into the Lottery post website, and a public hidden background profile area just for the pool? Why not? TheLotter is not available to residents of the United States. Please consider this Todd, since you run this wonderful site.

Accusations of "disturbing" new claims procedures after Allwyn sends investigator to winner's homeReply
The nice thing about US lottery is that each state lottery office employs a security personnel; they are former police detective who only purpose is to investigate big wins. Case and point, when my lottery pool won $4000 on a scratcher, they asked us about the purchase and time of day when we claimed it. They already knew pertinent details they were just verifying it was us.

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
A lottery pool does not greatly increase your chances of winning when there are over 300 million combinations and adding 59 more to your few plays doesn't even register a .000001% increased percentage of winning it. Many accurately say they would be happy with 1 or 2 million with that 2nd prize. So why not play lotteries with more than half the matrix with jackpots in that range.
