Knowing the nature of human beings, why do we purchase lottery tickets jointly? Who is the lottery winner when a dispute comes up? The lawyers...and they didn't have to invest a dime.

I just figure Todd might get a bit upset by going off topic, but seeing as how he doesn't seem to mind on THIS one point, I can not say/dispute anything. Jorli D - I was not 'hurt' in anyway on this thread. BTW, thanks for the numbers.

Mega Millions lottery jackpot increased to $162 millionReply
I was asked by someone who knows I've done it before if I was driving over to Indiana to get in on the PB ~$200M drawing this weekend who looked surprised when I told him our local MM drawing was worth more. I will never understand how anyone can get more excited about an out of state PB jackpot of $195M(cash $92M) than a local MM jackpot of $162M(cash $93M). I guess some people like to play the game with the biggest jackpot numbers or they just prefer to have someone else pick up tickets for

In October Kevin Donovan became the talk of the town when he claimed to have thrown away a winning $1 million lottery ticket that another man found in the trash.

Breakfast buddies file suit over lottery ticketReply
If everyone in the pool is cooperative photocopies handed out ahead of time might prevent problems, but if there's a dispute they probably won't mean anything since the only thing they can conclusively prove is that tickets with those numbers were photcopied. Your fellow pool members might accept them as proof that you bought the right number of tickets, but if you also bought a significant winner that you claim doesn't belong to them there's nothing but their honesty to prevent them from simply

Your lottery pool won,but you didn't playReply
Chewie, some don't sign anything at all and that's where the trouble begins, because they contend that they were in! Having proof of their not being in any one drawing at any given time makes it very hard for them to dispute! Believe it or not, huge amounts of money (life changing amounts) changes people and their worst side can and will come out at that very moment!I say sign on the dotted line when paying each and every drawing! None of that paying ahead of time stuff for 8 draws, you pay as y

Jim695I'm not fazed too much by tirades. I have my flippant side and my serious side. You're encroaching on the latter.I have perused some of your Posts regarding your beef with Indiana Lotteries and they fall very much into the category of tirades too. Previously I had done nothing on Pick 3 or Pick 4 so I was not in a position to dispute what you were saying.I say categorically to you that a simple algorithm downloaded from the Web would not produce a satisfactory History for Pick 3 or Pick 4.

5 Elderly Black Men who won lotto years
ago in NEW JERSY (about 7 or 8 years ago), I think....Does anyone remember this story? It was all over the news about the public dispute these elderly men had over the lottery. Four of the men said that all five of them always played the lotto together and agreed to split it if they ever won. The oldest of the old men went and purchased the tickets on this day and when the numbers came up, he himself went and claimed the jackpot and the others new nothing until they saw him on tv claiming the p
