Postal workers sue for share of Mega Millions lottery prizeReply
I use run a lottery pool for years where I work. We had a rule, and everyone in the pool knew it. As a matter of fact, those that wasn't interested in playing knew it as well in case I needed an unbiased witness. And the rule was, I bought the tickets for the group in the city in which we all worked. (most of us that worked there were commuters from small towns). Any ticket that I purchased in the city was fair game to all, but any tickets that were purchased in my small home town were my ticket

There will always be so loser that claims they were cheated. There will be someone that didn't pay to play in the pool that week and then sue claiming that they always play and that someone else should have put in the money for them.My rules is if you don't pay, you don't play. If your name isn't on my list, you missed out for the week. I photocopy all the tickets and everyone gets a copy... you can also give the serial numbers off the ticket to them as well to show them that all tickets were

Mega Millions Office Pool AdviceReply
I was in several pools that was that way but I didn't know about it until after the drawing because the person made up or changed the rules to collect more money. I never entered their pools again. We never had any arguments because we never won over a few dollars. Those type of pools work fine until they win something because 1% of nothing is worth the same as 5% of nothing. People act strange when it comes to dividing up a large sum of money. I remember reading about a bunch of steel worke

Before I was retired I participated in several lottery pools at work. One, I put a dollar in twice a week which played the local lottery and others were formed whenever there was a big PowerBall or BigGame jackpot. One or two people were usually in charge and everyone who wanted in contributed the same amount, they bought the tickets, made copies of them for everyone in the pool and the plan was to split the winnings equally, however we never won a jackpot. When the winning was small enough t

RJOH, you are correct. I only get in a pool at work when the Mega Millions is this high and we can draw up a big group of say 30 or more.We have no plan, no strategy, just hoping for luck.My wife had a group up with just 9 people at five per. That was 45 chances. They won back $10 bucks.All I was saying is there is a better chance to break even or even win without spending a lot of money in a group if there is a large number in the group.I only brought this issue up because I knew what this thr
