$370 MILLION: Mega Millions sets all-time lottery jackpot recordReply
I would LOVE to see it roll past $400 Million! However I think someone will hit tonight. I predict it will be a lottery pool someplace. I mean people buying $200 worth of tickets at a time will be a 20 person lottery pool.

Texas Woman Sues Over Winning Lottery TicketReply
According to the lawsuit, Domingo agreed to join the pool and asked how much she owed one of the women, but was told the amount had not been determined. One woman promised to buy Domingo's portion and let Domingo pay her later, the suit states. That's the old scam of coming up with money to join a lottery pool after it wins. A person who wanted to play in the winning lottery pool always has an excuse for not actually paying to be in the pool and think that excuse should entitle them to sha

Mega Millions lottery jackpot increased to $80 millionReply
Are you saying you're hoping your lottery pool continue to lose until the cash amount of the jackpot is over $40M or you're waiting until the cash amount of the jackpot is over $40M so your lottery pool can start playing?

Connecticut lottery winners settle $1 million battleReply
I would avoid a lottery pool like I would a pool filled with alligators, pythons, and poisonous snakes! You just hear about too much grief and strife associated with them and it only seems to work out when inclusion rules are clearly written and each drawing participants identified in writing. That ad hoc lottery pool on a whim thing just invites trouble from those who wished they would have played to those who may have played in the past but didn't that drawing due to illness/vacation/terminat

$200M Powerball lottery jackpot won by N.Y. Costco workersReply
Congratulations, this $201.9 Million advertised annuity amount is a tidy prize for each of the 20 lottery pool players! Sure is a very large lottery pool! After the 49% annuity to lump sum value, AND another 44% fed and state tax deductions, should leave each of the 20 lottery pool members with approximately $2.9 Million each!!! This $2.9 Million amount is probably enough for the solo, and married without children members to not have to remain at Costco if desired. Could switch to the busines

Only six Ohio postal workers sued Stephen Kyle for a piece of a $175,000 winning lottery ticket.But all 20 lottery-pool members -- including Kyle -- will share the jackpot evenly after a jury ruled Tuesday that Kyle was wrong to keep the money for himself, cutting his colleagues out of their fair shares.If all 20 stake a claim, each will be eligible to receive $8,750, before taxes.

$200M Powerball lottery jackpot won by N.Y. Costco workersReply
Hi Lucky from Ohio, I remember Ohio hogging up a lot of the large $200 million+ jackpot wins in 2007, 2008, and 2009, so Ohio has won its fair share. Illinois...not so much. And for the relatively short time Oklahoma and North Carolina have joined the lottery, they have won on a more frequent basis than Illinois. So I hope this is Illinois' year to dominate in lottery winnings. As for this idea of lottery pools (which are a bad idea IMHO) waiting until a certain jackpot amount is reached

Christmastime battle over lottery jackpotReply
Congratulations Ms. French, I hope you receive your 1/8 share of your lottery pool's jackpot win and soon get some BIG happinesses in your life. Lottery jackpot wins are supposed to be enthralling, lingering experiences! Although, my thoughts these past few years have come to the conclusion that participating in a lottery pool is unwise, too many wild card individual personalities and conceiving potential! Well, apparently Ms. French's lawyer, Culmo, has publicly (via WFTV) and privately info
