Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Let's consider that you were actually hit by a sober nun who honestly believes she wasn't on thee sidewalk, then. Plenty of lawsuits (and criminal cases) are essentially he said she said cases. In the Piqua case, the plaintiffs are claiming an agreement that all would share. Such an agreement strikes me as foolish if people chose whether or not to participate on a draw by draw basis, but we have no way of knowing what the agreements really were. Perhaps there was such an agreement, based on t

Office Pool Lotto QuestionsReply
Get quick picks and have each person in the pool put in the same amount of money($1 per person, $2 per person, etc). Make sure there is something in the contract that takes care of a situation like this: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/186331 In other words, specify in the contract that pools are considered on a drawing-by-drawing basis, and that only people who put in money for a given drawing are entitled to a share of that drawing; which the Piqua lottery winners failed to do. You c

Lotto SyndicatesReply
There have been several examples where a syndicate won a jackpot. It seems to happen almost every month. I join as many syndicates and pools as I can. Based on your response though, I think you differentiate between syndicates and pools. I consider them the same thing. Maybe you define syndicates as commercial pools. That is, pools that directly profit from each member that joins. I definitely recommend against joining commercial pools. A lottery pool is so easy to set up, there is no need

Lotto SyndicatesReply
I am at present, running a lottery club at my work. There are 10 of us and it costs $4/payday. With that money, I buy a mix of Powerball and Lotto tickets to cover all 4 drawings(Wed. and Sat.) that take place between paydays. We haven't won any big jackpots yet, I think the most we've won is $52. When we win small amounts, we just buy extra tickets. When Louisiana was offering the $10 Millionaire Raffle ticket, we just happened to win $10 on a batch of tickets, so I polled the members on

New Jersey C5: 12/27 thru 12/31Reply
12/1-12/27 there were 12 days with 0 5/5 wins, so this just about to breaks even (however there was a consecutive 7 5/5 wins between 12/12 and 12/18) by no means this game payout is extravagant :) but odds are fairly decent, had some luck with in the past with a 3/3. still waiting for New York Take-5 to post results (the 39 number pool gives even better odds) Good Luck and Happy Holidays Jonnie!

Indiana Powerball lottery winners likely to remain anonymousReply
I don't blame them. Although it's nice to read the stories, I'd want to remain anonymous too. Florida insists that the names of all winners must be public information, but I wonder if a good lawyer could find a loophole. Even when claimed as a Trust or LLC, the names of the individuals are listed in the press releases. I'd hate my name to be announced in the newspaper. However, if I ever win millions, I guess I'll learn to suffer the consequences! Regarding a pool, I think they're fine, but I

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Hey Quick Draw Mc Graw, 1) Have you ever thought to sit down and think before opening mouth? 2) I said Agreements are to be Mandatory (and of course in writing) if you wish to be apart of that Pool! Any agreement better be in writing, but any layman would automatically think it would be if so many people are to sign it after paying their money! I think the kettle calling the pot black is the one who really needs the de-caf before shooting off the mouth uncontrollable!

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
I'm with you TSC, I sometimes think that if I joined a pool with naturally Lucky people, I'd be okay, but I have never done it. Now I'm glad I didn't. This lawsuit is enough proof for me. There will be enough issues with family and friends that will call out of the cracks. The one sister I speak to, doesn't believe in the lottery even though she knows I play religiously and my few friends don't know I play. I still never say that I will help family and friends, so if I didn WHEN I win, it

Countdown to Powerball in FloridaReply
The fortune cookie PB a couple of years ago resulted in (off the top of my head) 111 or 121 2nd place winners, or which perhaps 15 or 20% had the powerplay option. MUSL could have split the actual amount in the prize pool among all of the winners, but they chose to honor the fixed value. My understanding of both the PowerBall and MegaMillions games is that states are responsible for all prizes except the jackpot of which each participating state contribute 32% of their sale receipts. MUSL is
