Restaurant workers split $4 million lottery jackpotReply
They have an agreement that if someone hits with their own numbers, the others can't make a claim on it.(We'll see if they feel the same way if one of them hits.) You don't need an agreement for that, because nobody is entitled to something that isn't theirs. What you need is a good agreement that covers who is in the pool, how many tickets the pool will buy, and how the tickets will be chosen and purchased. In the event that there is ever a dispute (and if any member of the pool wins you c

SoCal man sues to get share of $315 million lottery jackpotReply
Regarding Members Paying into a Pool: Get 100% of the Pool money up front and advance play for a specifed number of drawings. Period...Have a Closed End Pool,ie. $5.00 each for 10 drawings=$50.00 per Pool Member every five weeks. Have it dated, signed and closed out, disolved at the end of the 5 weeks, then if you want form a new pool start all over. A bit simpler; if you don'y pre-pay you don't play. It's a step in the right direction.

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Seems to me the best way to address this issue of pool carryovers from small wins would be to include in your rules that wins under $X will be donated to Y 501(c)(3) non-profit charity, instead of used to buy more tickets on the next draw. Buying more tickets just seems like a really bad idea, it opens the door for all sorts of ludicious claims. And someone who is serious about operating a pool should form a corporation (with seperate bank account, etc) to operate the pool as this will allow
