Elks Club members in fight over $21M lottery winNews Story
It may have once seemed like a dream come true, but a winning lottery ticket has turned into a nightmare for 21 people in Okotoks, Alberta. On Nov. 23 last year, the 21, all patrons or employees at the local Elks Club, chipped in $5 each to buy tickets for that night's Super 7 draw, one of which proved to be worth $20 million.

Canadian man sues 16 friends for share of $1 million lottery prize despite not paying for ticketReply
The press is not entitled to any alleged facts on a case. Most judges are not happy if more than a quick statement is made to the press. 99% of attorneys do not instruct clients to lie. Most of the comments here raised questions as to other possible facts and inconsistencies in the lottery pool rules. We did not rely on the article alone. Saying someone has a case simply means there are likely real facts or law in dispute as to survive a motion to dismiss.

Jason Kurland...JERK! :(Reply
Just have one question. Who needs a lawyer after they win lottery money? If there's a dispute between multiple winners I can see that but a single jackpot winner? Just put it in the bank and make a will. Also, hire a food taster when your ex-wife cooks a meal for you.

The last time digit 5 played in the combined drawing was as 095 on Sunday, December 30, 22 drawings ago; statistically should have played almost seven times over this span. if gogetter's posts are correct, the 59 front pair is the longest out pair (Sue's post doesn't support this but I have no data to support or dispute either). good luck everyone.

Intralot was in dispute with SCEL during this time because the state had decided to switch to another vendor-IGT. So was it an error or deliberate on their part?

Wisconsin woman's lottery winnings withheld by state due to unpaid debtsReply
The only bar to a lawsuit would be the standing of the plaintiff to sue or no issue or fact or law in dispute. No language can make a person or entity 100% immune from a lawsuit 99% of the time. The exceptions are not worth me taking the time to explain. Do you follow me?

Ontario Lottery awards man half of $6.1M lottery prize with remainder in legal limboReply
In any legal drama or personal dispute between two parties, the judge expects parties to make good faith efforts to settle the matter. You want your client to look like the most reasonable party. It has nothing to do with the merits of the case. I have a feeling the guy is so busy spending his windfall, he has little interest in coming to the table.

Australian man accuses fishing buddy of stealing $3.5M lottery ticketReply
Subscriptions are the best way to play, you can't lose any tickets and ownership is never in dispute. If your state doesn't offer a subscription service, you can subscribe to the Massachusetts lottery. The Massachusetts lottery offers a subscription service which is available across the United States, by phone.
