Buying lotto tickets onlineReply
If you read the legal notices on these sites, they do not sell lottery tickets, only the states and their agents can sell lottery tickets. They buy tickets for you and their liablity is limited to what you paid them not to what you think you've won. LotteryUniverse seem to be based in Texas, but they do not buy lottery tickets in Texas, so it unlikely the courts of Texas could help you if you had a dispute over winnings in California or the Powerballs and MegaMillions States.

Help organizing a work pool and forming a contractReply
This method offers no possibility for disputes. There is always a possibility that there will be a dispute. The only question is how easy it will be to resolve a dispute when it comes up. An email for each drawing listing the people you believe are in the group is a good way to prove that the people listed are in the group, but why would you need to prove that somebody is in the group? The problem is that the email may not be very helpful when somebody who played last week claims that
