Always make a agreement in writing, instant money can bring out a persons true nature,

good or bad.

The power of your dreams. There was also a mega millions winner from last October who $189 million, that said he had a dream of the winning numbers the night before he won. I also had a couple of dreams of winning $2,000,000 on a scratch off but I always keep forgetting to buy a ticket.

I believe in his dream his boss was part of his win. Therefore, he had to purchase the tickets with his boss that is why he pestered him for hours to buy the tickets with him.

The story should have been more clear about HOW MANY tickets they bought. I mean,if you dreamt numbers that you were sure were going to come up why on earth would you beg ANYONE to play with you unless you couldn't afford the tickets. Surely the waiter could have afforded a few tickets himself and won the whole thing without involving his boss at all. Crazy story.

I'm glad the judge did what was right and spilt the winnings between both men. Some people are just greedy and shysters who are willing to steal from others. Even if they are your colleagues or friends, some people don't care and they will take what isn't theirs if they can get away with it.

Humans being evil. What a surprise. Don't share lottery tickets or get into a lottery pool without written agreement! Or just buy your own dam ticket.

Misleading headline....waiter's entitled to half the winnings because he paid half the stake....not because he predicted the win.

A restaurant boss in England was ordered yesterday to split a disputed 1 million (US$1.7 million) lottery payout with one of his waiters who claimed he dreamed they would win a fortune together.

Judge Mark Gosnell told Hayati Kucukkoylu he must hand 500,000 of the EuroMillions prize to Fatih Ozcan.

The High Court heard Ozcan was so convinced they would win he pestered Kucukkoylu into buying tickets with him, sharing the stake and jointly choosing the lottery numbers.

But when the waiter... [ More ]
