Yes, these lottery pools at work should be banned by employers. First off if they win the big one that is the end of your work force. Even if they stay on they will be good for nothing there. Of course the chances of them winning because they pooled tickets is not really improved. Then all the work hours that are wasted by the organizer of the pool collecting the money each week and all the discussion that takes place about it when it gets large although bloom is off the rose on that it seems wi...

* Sure it's something, but when was the last time a pool won the PB or MM? Not taking anything away from these folks, but sharing with 30 players? I will pass, as is my right

I totally agree with you.

But on the math side, if they contribute $2 each per drawing. That's 30 tickets a drawing and 90 tickets a week.

If you played $180 every week as an individual, that's $9360 every year on PB.

Not sure if they also play MM.

So that's where the pool comes handy.

I know it's not a life changing win for them, but it's definitely something.

One can clear off their car loan, or some other bills with 24K.

Having said that, I don't think I would want... [ More ]

Somehow missed this story on GMA yesterday even though it was on.

I like the fact it was won in N KY not too far from Cincinnati, happy for all the teachers.

Reason I'm glad it was N KY again is that the haters on KLC FB page seem to say with frequency 'it is always Louisville with the winning ticket (s

By Kate Northrop

A group of 30 middle school employees carpooled to the Kentucky Lottery after the final school bell rang on Tuesday to collect their $1 million Powerball prize.

30 educators from a Boone County middle school regrouped after work to collect the $1 million Powerball prize they won in the Jan. 27 drawing and showed up at Lottery headquarters in high spirits.

The group calls themselves the Jones 30, named after the Rector A. Jones Middle School in Florence that brought t... [ More ]
