I ran a lottery pool at a previous workplace and there was no chance of that happening. When I bought the tickets, I gave copies of them to every member of the pool so they would know exactly what tickets belonged to the pool. With copies of the tickets in hand, the members could check the drawings themselves to see if we won.

One other thing I did was when I bought my personal tickets, I bought them at different times and at different stores from where I bought the pool tickets, again red... [ More ]

ICR if it was New York or New Jersey (Todd would know) that something like this happened and went to court. Can't scratch the brain cells hard enough to remember the outcome.

That scenario has happened before. That's why it's important to keep very good records, have a very detailed operating agreement and make everyone sign it if you're part of a lottery pool. Better yet, don't play in a pool in the first place and then you will never have that kind of trouble.

I have often wondered what would happen if the person who is tasked with buying the tickets for the group, decided to purchase a couple of tickets for himself, outside the group tickets? What if his personal ticket actually won the jackpot? Would he be a loyal member and say all for one, and one for all . Or would he quit his job and leave town as a millionaire? Maybe it just depends on the amount of money you win??? Congrats to 7 lucky winners
