A verbal Lottery joke agreement wouldn't hold up in Court, would it?
So, there was an article about what NOT to do if you win the Lottery or will win the Lottery. One of the tips was something like, Never joke, about giving someone a cut of your winnings if you win the Lottery because they could sue you for your winnings if you do. For example, never jokingly, say to your to your Friend, Tom, if I ever win The Powerball 1.5 Billion Jackpot, I'll give you $20 Million, but I'm sure I'll never win it, it's a 1 in a 1.5 Billion chance. Tom and you both laugh, but if

$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
I assumed it was some sort of informal support and not court ordered. He could have asked the family court not to share the source of his new wealth but still disclose the amount. But by the amount, she would have figured it out. NDAs can be tricky to enforce. If the court first outed the lottery win to her, it will complicate matters. I hope he wins. We should all appreciate his efforts here. We might get some great case law to start the ball rolling again on the anonymity issue for states.

A verbal Lottery joke agreement wouldn't hold up in Court, would it?Reply
If it gets to court its not a joke. Think about that. Nobody is going to file a lawsuit and go to court claiming it was all a joke. You can claim it was a joke all you want, but what did the other party think? If you find yourself in court he/she is not going to tell the judge, yeah, we were just joking. G

Arrested for buy too many Lottery tickets?Reply
Qualified Immunity for police is not a defense in all states. More importantly, it does not apply if a constitutional right was violated. If the arrested individual was a minority or other protected category and could prove in court that they were targeted, qualified immunity would not be a defense. We all see police court trials all the time for police misconduct.

thoughts on lottery syndicatesReply
I agree, I would do a U.S. based group. I came up with this, these syndicates should have bylaws that each member needs to sign or something that clearly says top prizes will be shared evenly among *members who participated in the drawing* This should keep everybody honest. I've read articles where the winnings were halted or disputed in court the judge ended up breaking it up or the person was convinced to share! So any large jackpot or 2nd or 3rd place winnings, if the syndicate organizer or t

Florida man arrested after buying $31,000 worth of lottery tickets using company credit cardReply
I doubt they will take him to court for that small amount. They could dock his pay if he still works there or get a lien on his home or future new employer salary perhaps. A lien would need a court order but it would far less visible to the general public. Most companies have theft insurance policies as well. I think he would owe taxes on that money.
