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.

30 Kentucky middle school employees win $1M Powerball prize, hid lottery ticket in math textbookReply
* Sure it's something, but when was the last time a pool won the PB or MM? Not taking anything away from these folks, but sharing with 30 players? I will pass, as is my right!

$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
That's merely your personal religious belief and opinion. Luckily most of us don't live in a theocracy and can freely divorce a cheating spouse. If you can tolerate your wife loving up the pool boy, good for you. I don't think it makes you a good or bad person either way.

$1.55 BILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever to be drawn TuesdayReply
I disagree, The point of playing the lottery is win a large sum of money. Joining a pool when the jackpot is very large works towards that aim. With the just the jackpot the pool gets more tickets and more chances of winning the jackpot. Now of course, there are many people in this group that believe buying more tickets does not increase the chances of winning. I hope you are not one of those.

$70 million Canada Lotto Max jackpot-winning ticket expiresReply
Expired jackpots should be returned to the pool for the next draw! Returning it to the gov represent a clear conflict of interest. Obviously, lotteries don't put much efforts on locating the possible winners, even though there is security cams that can help ID the winner.

One ticket sold in Maine wins $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
We went out to dinner early last night and the party at the next table was doing a toast to winning the Mega Millions. They were apparently a part of a lottery pool. I wonder if the Maine winner was actually a group buy.

Group of 78 emergency room staff members claim $1 million Powerball prizeReply
Was part of a pool and we managed to hit 5 out 6 and won $1500 a couple of times playing Ohio Super Lotto. The group had 30 players so it was more about trying to win the jackpot than staying in the game winning secondary prizes.

Group of 78 emergency room staff members claim $1 million Powerball prizeReply
Sorry, but too many people in that pool to justify being in it. I wonder how much time Bernie Bossert Jr. spent on this each week. In 7 years the biggest win previously was 200.00. Not impressed.

Winners of $63M Australian Powerball jackpot resolve court battle with man who claimed shareReply
I remember this story. I felt at the time as well as today that the Parkes were 100% correct. Mr. Ing was trying to scam his way into a six-figure payday. If you are part of a lottery pool and the ticket you provide as proof is a losing ticket.....that means you did not participate in the winning draw. They did not owe him anything.
