If I bought a ticket independently I would keep it if it won as I think most people would, otherwise what is the point of buying one independently

he sounds unstable, i wouldnt deal at all with him. just buy your own tickets. it upto you if yiu want to play same numbers.

also dicate with him, form sounds he inviotes every man and his dog in, you prob dont even knwo how many ar ein the pool.

just steer clear, and buy your own tickets. remeber its bearer pays ticket ie who hands it in collects. my personal choice would be stay out of what looks like if the best happens you can hopew for a long drawn out court battle with everyone

I'm asking would you feel any reason to split a jackpot of a ticket you played on your own, in addition to this joint ticket, would hit?

No. Non. N o. Nein. Nyet.

Todd has said many time that he prefer everyone PM him about a good news story rather than post it in a thread so it can be shared with everyone so I'm sure someone has let him know about it since it's in several thread. And when they do, if he hasn't already, he will put it in the news section.

This real lottery winner thinks different then me (a potential lottery winner).

The metro man who won the $135-million Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday is quitting his job at Ford Motor Co. after 34 years and plans to reward some of the friends who have played the lottery with him in the past. I hope his friends don't get the idea he should split it equally with them.

When two people pool a certain amount of tickets, it's more like giving them a fair share if one hits on their own and this is where the problems start. They might be the only person that you are pooling with, but what if they are pooling with a number of other people; you might consider giving them half, but your share might be under 5%.

Since you haven't hit a jackpot, now would be a good time to discuss the what if with him.

Not quite, we both play the set set of numbers, he plays them, and we play them (as to avoid setting up a trust, legal hassles, etc..) and then we play independent tickets....

The guy is a good guy but actually goes into a feeding frenzy like a ravenous shark when the jackpot is up - I actually pray that if we don't hit it, someone, somewhere does...

He's the type that wants to involve everybody present in everything, and used to try and get everyone in his shop in on playin... [ More ]

If the amount of very sufficient, I would give him a little perk. Otherwise, no.

To clarify this a little- we play the same ticket, but that' not what I'm asking.

I'm asking would you fel any reason to split a jackpot of a ticket you played on your own, in addition to this joint ticket, would hit?

If he was in the spot, you don't know if he'd cut you in or not, probably not becaause he has a large family.

A little more info- he's the type that has to be in action whenever there's a drawing, and it took a while to convince him that a 5/39 $100,000 progressive jackpot... [ More ]

Once two people agree to buy their own ticket with the same set of numbers they don't have an agreement to share their winnings. It makes no sense for each to buy tickets with the same combinations if they have an agreement to share because it cost them twice as much to lose.

That sounds like the standard agreement I have with everyone I know who play the lotteries. You buy your own tickets and I buy my own tickets and we don't share the cost or the winnings.

considering we decided to play seperate tickets, i wouldnt cut him in. however, depending on how good of a friend he is, there's still the possibility of generousity, but as far as the splitting the winnings? either i don't understand the situation presented or i see no reason why i should need to split it. maybe i'm just thinking too logically about it

But this one might be a little different. I'm putting it here as it could apply to any jackpot game, but granted a large PB or MM jackpot would make it a lot more interesting.

And no, it hasn't happened to me, but I'm just playing what if .

Let's say there's somebody you play MM with, almost every draw...

And let's say you used to play two separate tickets, but you've convinced them to each play the same set of numbers so in case you did get hit by lightning and have the right numbers,... [ More ]
