If you participate in work pools you better be prepared to pay the price, better yet be prepared to NOT GET PAID. Unless you have valid confirmation every week of the numbers you played, and someone you truly trust. Usually everyone who plays in work pools already have some greedy motives in mind, otherwise they would not be trying to get more plays for a fraction of the price.

Well we see just how hefty of a price that greed can accumulate sooner or later. Most of the people who play are no... [ More ]

The Pizza Hut in Danbury/Brookfield is the same. I would have to think there is a Pizza Hut near you in MD or DC with lunch buffet, since you live in a highly populated area.

BTW I plan to drive through MD and DC in mid-October. Are you a single woman? I'm 42. Send me a PM if you want.

Our pizza Hut does have a Salad Buffet attached to it, but unfortunately it's not an all you can eat .....the salad simply comes w/the Pizza as part aof the Lunch or dinner if you like it.

And the PB keeps rising in the east, along w/the sun.......

I like the Pizza Hut lunch buffets, but there are no Pizza Huts in Putnam County. There is a Pizza Hut in Brookfield/Danbury CT, but it doesn't have buffet. I recommend the one in Ridgefield, CT.

Thank you Libra. Just came from lunch, and the next thing I did upon arrival is go to LotteryPost. How's that for a LotteryPost junkie?

Had chinese for lunch and my forturne cookie said: "you can't aim a duck to death." Well, I think all LP members know that. Even Dick Cheney. (Just joking)

I believe you, Libra. And I understand the "context" of what you are saying. Thing is, I was not directly responding to you. If I were to directly respond to any comment, I would surely quote that comment.

I was commenting on particular issues brought up in this thread. More particularly, notary public and the court.

I comment not for the heck of it. I comment for basic, general information and accuracy. That is why I only touch matters I am very familiar with. I don't give full... [ More ]

If there's a dispute nothing is ever simple. If they were a regular player why weren't they in the winning draw? Was it because they were out sick or didn't have any cash that day, or was it because when they got out of a meeting at 3:00 the ticket buyer ha... [ More ]

I realize, from your responses, that you are not quite understanding the 'context' of what I am saying, but it's alright.

csfb — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 05:11:39 GMT

You are correct, GameGrl. The role of a notary public is only to verify that the signature/s on a document is/are those of the signatory/ies. Notarizing a document does not make it any more legal and binding than it was before it was notarized. An invalid document does not become valid just because it is notarized. A document does not have to be notarized in order to be valid or binding.

The determination of the validity of any document does not rest upon whether the document is notariz... [ More ]

Libra- Thanks for sharing your thoughts! My post was to educate .

3rd....I never said they could put their seal to Documents that would violate their Notary Oath or it's responsibilities.

The usual tiresome co-worker squabbles. It will be nice if they say to him You didn't pay that drawing, you admit you didn't pay, you're out, you get nothing, think about that the next time you blow your last dollar. But I guess it will depend on how many tickets the group got for that drawing with one person allegedly not included vs. what they usually get with him included. If they bought fewer for that drawing because he hadn't paid so they counted him out, then his request was either not m... [ More ]

I've said this here before on several occasions: Never EVER play in a lottery pool unless EACH member of the pool has been given a photocopy of all the tickets bought BEFORE the drawing AND there is a list of all pool members playing that particular drawing.

I put money in for a member who did not give me his/her money ahead of time on occasion and not once did I get stiffed; if I did I would never do the same for him/her again and I would have documented that failure in the event we won down... [ More ]

No Money, No Claim to any prize! That is the best reason as to why I do not Ever put money in a lottery pool of any kind! My money will never be tied up for 2 or 3 years, because of some other fool hearted selfish turkey just because they thought they deserve some of the winnings for some reason or another! You paid your money or you didn't, and if you didn't, TO BAD, there is no sharing the wealth with a non payer

Casual groups can easily lead to problems. With the groups I join or organize, I insist on being very specific about who is in and who is out. I have just recently decided to always include everyone's name in the email announcing the purchase of tickets.

For a lot of the regular players, I do not base their membership in the group on whether they have paid or not. I just consider it as money oweing. That is simply my preference and it allows me to have more people in each group for each draw.... [ More ]

sirbrad — Thu, 23 Mar 2006 00:10:38 GMT

That is why I do not play work pools. But people need to realize that pools are a pay per play basis usually, you can't take short cuts. If you did not put your money into the draw, you are not in that draw. It is that simple. I don't care if you put in the draw 20 years, if your money is not in for the winning draw, you are out. It is that simple. If you did not play for 20 years, and just happen to play during the winning draw, congratulations on being a millionaire.

Please review the duties of what a Notary is and isnt allowed to do. I think you'll be surprised at the fact that they are NOT allowed to give legal advise on its contents. They are to witness the signature and the authenticy of the person(s) presenting it for seal. They are not allowed to prepare legal documents but may witness the signature once prepared. They are not allowed to seal anything which bears witness against their notary oath and responsibilities as administered by their state of r... [ More ]

HAPPY GREED DAY... KY ......

The rules for a pool may say that if you don't pay up you're not in it, but even if it's in writing it may be meaningless if someone in the pool says they'll advance the money to somebody. FTM, any written agreement could be invalidated, either in whole or in part, by a court and should probably be considered unreliable unless it has been reviewed by an attorney.

This point is very well made, and may I 'piggy-back ' to it...In addition to getting the 'pool ag... [ More ]

Is it unbelieveable that the courts would allow you to sue if you were hit by a drunk driver and there are no unbiased witnesses? Whether a claim has merit or not can only be determined by hearing whatever evidence there might be. Claiming that he had to have another pool member advance the money for his tickets suggests that he's telling the truth, or it suggests that he's clever enough to create that suggestion, because if he's lying he could have simply said that he chipped in his share.

If by a slim chance that someone offered to throw in for him, see if the amount of tickets is divideable by 5 or 6...if they only bought enough for 5 then he's out of luck.

Sickening I don't understand how the court system would allow for some money hungry just individual to try and come back with some story like that.

I feel that if an individual do not put money up front for the lottery pool he should get nothing.

It seems to me that people will not put the money up when asked to do so and then when you win here they come with both hands out.

It's unbelievable that the courts allow these claims... try to get a ticket from a retailer without cash in hand. Anyone can falsely claim they asked someone To Spot them the money.

In my office pool, if you don't pay up you are not in it, if your name doesn't appear on the copies I distrubute... again you are not in the pool.. I hate lazy people that want a free ride.

A Sudbury city employee has launched a civil lawsuit claiming he deserves his share of a $13.6 million Canada Lotto 6/49 jackpot won by five co-workers last summer.

In court papers filed at the Sudbury courthouse, Raymond Chamberland, claims he deserved to share in the Lotto 6/49 prize claimed by five fellow employees from the city's waste management department when they claimed the huge lottery jackpot last July 9.

The five employees made national headlines when they claimed $2.7 million... [ More ]
