Yea, if I had a job where they had a pool going I would chip in as it would kill me if they won without me. I would try get involved with it tho and make sure its ran smooth.

I wonder how many people COULD actually turn down $80,000.00 dollars?

Maybe a wealthy person would who was already financially set but to a common person that's a heck of a lot of dough to walk away from.

What is courteous and graceful is that even though you unexpectedly show up is that the family asks you to join them anyway....now that is good manners...She should accept that money because the people giving it want her to have it....that is kindness at its best

It's a real catch-22 for Malonado because she is the only one in the office who excluded herself from the group by not joining the pool. Some will be in a room talking about spending their winnings, but I'll bet it gets quiet when Malonado enters. It would make it even more uncomfortable for everyone if she doesn't accept a cut.

Maldonado should gracefully turn down the offer.

It's kinda like showing up unexpectedly after the family sets down for dinner and being asked to join them as a courtesy and good manners.

The pool said they will give her a cut, but didn't say how much. The win is about $83,000 after taxes for each member.

The team hasn't yet divulged how much they'll actually end up giving Maldonado.

I hate it when people pee in the pool, or worse yet that #2 stuff.

Pools seem like hassle, I like to be in control. Maybe if I ran one I would be fine, and me buying the tickets but if I was just a member then no thanks.

I read a story on how this last powerball drawing had a million dollar winner in FL. but it was a pool and one worker opted out of it but...get this her co-workers cut her in anyways since she usually played...I thought that was pretty cool......
