ADDENDUM........11/21stConsidering the Phenomental sum of $$$$$$$$$$ we are looking at here, don't go to court over this issue......Court costs, Atty Fees...ect...only serve to deplete, and dispose of the wealth you've hardly had a chance to acquire. By the time all is said and done, the Attorneys may as well have won the prize money themselves. Break even, and give the sick patient her cut of the Kitty....

On the 19th of this week, I made a facetously cynical remark regarding the $3 bucks, but in reality, had I been a co-worker, one of the usual players in the Office Kitty, supposedly or alleged friend of the absentee player, I would have inquired as to wether or not that person wanted to be included in the kitty. The operative terms here are usual player and alleged friend ........because I know, in reality had it been me, and I called in sick, I would have wanted to be included. If there i... [ More ]

NOVEMBER.....21STI simply prefer to ......the i's and cross all the t's before coming out about the Prize money. I do not, or cannot accept the premise of saying BINGO....I WON in leu of Validating everything and pushing the button which electronically deposits the funds to our respective accounts. I realize you agree with my perspective on this wizeguy and that proves you, like myself think very carefully thru everything, at least where $$$$$$$ is concerned..........

In the good old days, Lav Vegas had a cure for that sort of activity. It did not include paying off judges.

If that office person who was sick puts up a fight for a share of the money then they won't collect a dime until its resolved. the problem is these idiot Judges around the country has set a presence for people to sue that do not get into a pool on there job. every case i have heard of the plaintiff has won a share of the jackpot even though they didnot give any money to be in a pool.

Chewie — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 14:43:27 GMT

I think they are staying at work because they haven't received any of the winnings; hell, they haven't even turned in the ticket. Lets see what happens when the state transfers the money to their accounts and they see all those zero's! Will they continue to be good old boys, or will they begin to be millionaires

GVILLE — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 12:59:28 GMT

Do u think the group should deduct the $3.00 from the sick/family emergenciedabsent employee? I think that person just missed an opportunity.THATS LIFE!If the group hadnt won; would the absent employee come back to work and say; oh by the way, heres my three buck for losing last week I dont think so.If you pay and win its yours if You dont pay , for whatever reason youre not entitled to anything ,but a big sick feeling in your stomach.

Iesha Kelly — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 04:36:26 GMT

if that person was sick or had an honest to god family emergency, if i were the pool, i'd vote for sharing. that's not right, otherwise.

Same here. Several years ago I was part of an even larger pool because I worked for a large corp with a plant in Chicago. There were over 20 of us and we never won much and I'm assuming the odds for the IL lottery are a lot lower than Mega Money or Powerball. Obviously the more tickets that are played, the better your chances are of defeating the odds. However, saying 21 or 100 or even 200 tickets will get you closer to the jackpot when odds are 1 in 170M is still a little optimistic. (of cours... [ More ]

Just heard on the news no one has came forward to claim the pot yet. One worker who was in the pool the drawing before they won was absent from work the day they put together the money for the draw they won .... so because of her absence the secretary got in the pool in her place. The absentee employee might want to make a fight out of this....oops here we go again will they give her a cut.

Chewie — Fri, 18 Nov 2005 22:10:56 GMT

It has been documented over and over, even here, huge bets mean nothing. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people (as a group or singular) spent huge amounts on the last draw and won nothing. A group in my building spend over a hundred and not even a mega ball win. A twenty-one dollar bet had no better chance than a thousand dollar bet had over a single dollar bet. The balls dropped and some one won. Nothing more complicated then that.

I can't wait till I can get enough money to save up for 100 QP's one day. Better yet, 100 SYSTEM picks. That would definitely give me a lot of slack to play all my various numbers, and strategies. I will have to try both to see which got closer. I should be up for a few days doing the analysis afterwards. But hopfully because I hit the big one, not trying to figure out what went wrong.

Look up the concept of satorical commenting. Sometimes things occur beyond the distance to a persons glasses.

I once got in an office pool for a large jackpot, but there were 10 of us with $10 each and we got 100 qp's. We didn't do jack >:The Cali office workers hit it with only $21 worth of tickets- or roughly the same amount most people put up themselves for a 300 Mil Jackpot.. . Just shows to go you that when it be your time it be your time

Sept 22, A New Jersy couple did their little PR appearance after winning 258 Million in mega millions....then they dropped into obscurity....no controversy, nice smart looking couple. Thats the way to do it....It was over before anbody really noticed or new about them....

7 workers for 21 tickets for $7 million. Now that is magicial! As I said, the division of 7 seems to work magic! And the mega number was......7

$21 worth of quick pics, shows you don't need to spend a whole lot of money to make a whole lot of money.

Even splitting the money, they still take home a good amount. $7 million is better then 0. Congrats to them

Yes I also stated it had to have been a QP. I bet showing up to work now is not such a burden to them. I bet they look to forward to going every day now that they can quit any time they choose to without consequence. I can only imagine their conversations when they arrive. What's up fellow millionaire! How is it going lucky! Meanwhile about 100 other workers scowl...

It's also rather uncanny....after what CALI had to go through to become a Mega Mil State, that such a huge payout would be rewarded to them so soon. Keeping in mind how many years most of the other states have had 1st the BIG GAME.... now MEGA MIL......This is the 1st year for CALI to be a part of this, and to win soooooo biggggg.........is phenomenal to say the least.....Proving that anything is possible w/faith and determination....My Congrats to the 7 winners......Just one thing puzzli...

If I won the meesly $7M cash for MM tonight, I would show up to work Monday - or any other day. Unless I was being paid to check out the beaches in the Hawaiian Islands. Then I would rethink the quiting option.

$315M Mega Millions lottery winners stay on the job

Lottery Post — Fri, 18 Nov 2005 14:06:55 GMT

A secretary and six laboratory workers at Kaiser Permanente in California held the winning ticket for the $315 million Mega Millions jackpot but they still came in to work, a company spokeswoman said.The jackpot was the second-richest prize won with a single ticket in the history of lotteries in the United States.The winners, who had chipped in $3 apiece and bought 21 tickets, came into work Wednesday at the medical center in Garden Grove anyway, said Kaiser spokeswoman Barbara Shipnuck.
