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.

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
$85 worth of tickets is a lot. it's weird for someone to try to buy that much, then look in their wallet and see they only have $60, then spend every last dollar on tickets. i wonder if it was someone buying for their lottery pool and miscalculated how much they had collected from the other members. if not, sounds like a gambling problem.

Sure. It's definitely possible that The Florida Lottery changed the percentage of net sales allocated to the winners prize pool. (50%) They could have even changed the percentage of the winners prize pool allocated to the top prize. (62%) But that's not what they did or what happened at all. From reading Fantasy5's Official Rules I didn't see any percentages that changed when the midday drawing was added. It's also true that net sales for FF5 could be down in general these days due to player

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
