I chose just me. I don't need any lottery drama like what happened with Philip Tsostos when he won the lottery and his coworkers sued him each for a cut of his winnings because they had participated in a lottery pool with him. Philip claimed he bought a separate lottery ticket aside from the pool's ticket and claimed that his solo lottery ticket was the one that won not the lottery pool ticket. It was a huge mess. He won his lawsuit case but this is a cautionary tale on why lottery pools can be

Just me. One time I tried to join a very small lottery pool (total two people) but the other person forgot to purchase the ticket before the cut-off time.

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
After reading the article a few more times very carefully here is what I get from the article: Everything in the article above the following section is yadda, yadda, yadda from the PB Lottery until some solid information (maybe subject to change?) comes along. US state lotteries and the UK National Lottery will pool funds only for the Powerball jackpot, not lower-tier prizes. Tickets purchased in the UK will contribute the same fixed US dollar amount per play to the jackpot pool as ticke

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Someone Above said if someone in Uk wins the lottery they can take the money and run away and not pay complete Federal tax later. And am thinking Now how can you run away in the first place when they gave you no Lump sum option only annuity. If you run away they freezes the rest of your Annuity Payments Ok when people win Powerball the top tax is like 37 percent. There are two ways to pay federal government. One way is the player pays 37 percent and the other way is l guess each sold t

Covering Designs - MM and PBReply
This is a mathematical covering design (or lottery wheel) that reduces the total number pool of Powerball/Mega Millions into just 350 combinations of 12-number sets . This specific optimization guarantees a 100% catch-rate for a 3-match and a 50% probability of hitting a 4-match , significantly lowering the cost while maintaining high efficiency.

89 second prize winners for the powerballReply
Approximately 75% of all lottery tickets sold are QP's Therefore I'd expect 67 of the 89 second place prizes to be QP's. I think the big question now is do they have enough money in the second place prize pool to pay out the total second place prize value of $117 million? My guess is they don't and the 89 second place prizes are going to be paid out on a parimutuel basis. G5
