Some folks are going to think if they buy 120 tickets they're going to win and that's not true one bit. They would think buying at more than one store like other winners did is going help them and that's not true. If all 6 of those numbers are going to match, they're going match no how you bought the tickets.

rad242 — Sat, 05 May 2012 18:05:11 GMT

I agree 100%

Every winner's story is different. The latest means by which a pool or individual won doesn't dictate that's the way to win every time. It's like those pool advocates. If you support participating in lottery pools, it's your funeral, but it like every other strategy could never guarantee a win.

Comment #94

Simba774 — Sat, 05 May 2012 01:27:43 GMT

If it's for it, it's for you. They bought 120 tickets, they won. Others buy one ticket, they won. You try both, you still lose. I didn't buy any MM tickets today because I bought some yesterday. I usually don't do this, my mother does, but since we both were out together I picked up three QPs.

Looks like 34 of the winners agree w/ you, they live outside philly, some are from jersey,

and get this one winner, one of the two that have a half share, lives in delaware,

where you can remain anouymous, but she can't because she won in pa.

They have to lie to make a living and they get so used to lying they never stop.

Joe-Joe Biden was a used car salesman before he started screwing up the country.

i like it when a group of people win, 172 would be too much for one person, if i have had the sole winning ticket i would be giving most of it away

I thought the same way when I was in Grammar School ........... then I moved on to Junior High School and became a mature adult!

OldSchoolPa — Tue, 01 May 2012 18:45:20 GMT

I just don't do auto leases. Common tactic of some car salesmen is to take emphasis off price of vehicle and instead start manipulating the lease term and payment amount. Perhaps high end dealerships like exotic car dealerships and those that sell Maybachs and Bentleys don't engage in such shenanigans, but I know lower end dealers do which is why car salesmen are rated negatively among sales people.

Cletu$2 — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:32:25 GMT

Thats ONE way to look at.Another is to realize that some snip is almost always waiting in the wings expecting everyone in the pool to ante up his share.If they don't ante up he will sue them.Even if he doesn't win the real winners don't get their money for several years because the courts are so slow and are out lawyer fees.No thanks,I'll play my numbers alone.

From having been in car sales/management there in nothing really complex about a lease.

You pick out your vehicle, the term and mileage, then simply sign and drive. I leased hundreds of vehicles. The turnaround for paper work is

usually just a couple of hours. Another great advantage of leasing, is the great write off if you have a business, and your car is always under

warranty.

OldSchoolPa — Tue, 01 May 2012 15:42:00 GMT

You are clearly speaking for yourself and other like-minded socialists. But 172 million or whatever the cash value was is just right for a person like me and my LLC. Give it away...I can see such people ending up on Curse of the Lottery . Giving it away might make you feel good, but tell me how things fare for you once you have given most of it away and some unexpected calamity arises that wipes out your remaining stash.

Point taken but here is my take: I work in an industry in which we freely share what we earn and discuss topics such as net worth. Since my compensation is purely based on performance, there is nothing to fear about others knowing what I earn. Transparency is a good thing in that regard. Ditto for those in government and military. But those whose compensation is based a bit on office politics, I understand secrecy of compensation is often demanded by the company/organization and adhered to by th... [ More ]

Not everyone on here publicizes what they make or what they have so don't assume you are the only one.

$1.5 million is more than sufficient to retire/semi-retire on if you know what you are doing and live the Bentley lifestyle. If you took roughly half the money and bought franchise restaurants, say Subways for example, you could do very well. Typically one years worth of net profits is needed for the deposit so you could buy about ten of them. So roughly you would net about $650,000 or so a... [ More ]

You guys seem to be missing the point concerning why the majority of people take a chance against astronomical odds playing jackpot lottery games. Sure, I have played and continue to play the Illinois Daily lottery game from time to time (when the jackpot is at least 4 times the starting minimum). If I won that, would it be lifechanging? No, but I see the odds are better and I, of course, would not turn down any amount of lottery winnings. I also continue to play the Illinois state Lottery via s... [ More ]

As far I know, there is no rule that disqualifies players from continuing to buy lottery tickets after winning some chump change annuity for a $100K per year. I would continue buying tickets and using that chump change to pay for them.

Comment #65

mcginnin56 — Tue, 01 May 2012 09:37:38 GMT

Yeah I see your point now. Would be better off just donating that $100K annuity to my local soup kitchen. Who would want to be bothered with that

Yes I have earned over $100,000 in a year and that is why I can say it is not a life changing sum of money. I am s always thankful for what I do earn, but I am merely speaking from my experience. Those of you trying to slam me for my comments may have simple life goals, and for you, $100,000 a year would enable you to get that little RV and tour around the US taking in the sights.

She did not pay, she did not play, that is it. She was even reminded to pay and play via email and did not. End of story. Maybe she should not have used the money to buy that pack of cigarettes or whatever else. She will most likely try to sue, but I see very little basis for her suit. I can't for the life of me figure out why you would not want to be part of the pool with a large jackpot like $172 million on the line

Congratulations 48 Pennsylvania winners! This is a good, tidy, Powerball jackpot lump-sum share win of apx. $1.68M each (after initial Fed 25% Income Tax are taken out, and monies received)!

Though the article indicated that some of these 48 jackpot sharing winners will retire, I think that would be foolish, so I hope they didn't officially indicate so to their employer.

Actually, groups seldom win compared to individuals.

An individual is much more likely to win than a group.

And as an individual you don't have to split with anybody if you don't want to.

And you don't have to deal with the inevitable lawsuits and the sleazy, slimy, slithering, squirming, worm-like lawyers.

KY Floyd — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 22:33:18 GMT

No. A group of 100 split $95 million (cash) in 2006. There may have been an even bigger pool, but that's a big group. Even with a very big jackpot they got less than $1 million each before they even paid the taxes.

Comment #40

KY Floyd — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 22:28:34 GMT

It depends on which statistics you look at. How often a pool wins has nothing to do with it. It's about how many people win and how much they win.

So far this year 4 people have won by playing alone and 48 have won as a result of playing in a pool. 12 times as many people won as a result of playing in a pool. 48 people will take home about $1.5 million after taxes (assuming they take the cash). The other 4 will get about $50 million each, as an average. I'd rather have $50 million than $1.5 m... [ More ]

Probably not, the TV news show 60 minutes some years ago did a story about a small town in Texas where everyone but one person entered a lottery pool and won the jackpot. They were doing a story a year later about how it changed the lives of everyone in the town including the person who regretted he hadn't join the pool.

Arrowhead — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:54:07 GMT

Those in their 50's-60's should have no trouble whatsoever retiring with an extra $3 million. Even some in their 30's-'40's if they're single, or married with no kids with little or no debt. It's incredible some believe $3 mil isn't life-changing money. Some people should buy a clue.

JAP69 — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:44:20 GMT

Does this hold the record in pool size?

Things happened because of a sequence of events, that led to this pool of workers to be at the right place and the right time. Had there been just

5 members in this pool, this would have created a new sequence of events which would have thrown off the timing of who ever was

responsible for buying the tickets at this lucky location. Being a few minutes or even a few seconds earlier or later would have been enough to

invalidate their number from coming up. (I'm assuming QP's here). Maybe... [ More ]

Someone from the pool even sent the lady an email reminder about paying/joining that particular drawing and she ignored it and never paid in.

She can claim that she never received the email reminder but bottom line is that she never contributed for the winning drawing.

Past contributions only go so far and this case has absolutely no merit if she were to seek sympathy from the courts.

People fear lawsuits so much its like the judges just let any lawsuits go to trial. The facts provided so far are clear cut. She had an option to play and she chose not to. Thats all that a judge needs to hear to throw out the case.

Anyways I am happy for the 48 workers, they have an option of leaving their jobs so that some unemployed men can get a shot at earning a descent wage or they can stay on till they are eligible for pension. Either way, I love that they won.

There's no reason that couldn't happen more if only winners of large jackpots would commit themselves to finding other deserving families to share an equal potion of their winnings. Perhaps if you play and ever win large, you will do that.

Comment #16

RJOh — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:16:19 GMT

That was a floating pool that had run for years, if they were to offer a potion of the winnings to every one who had ever contributed to the pool in the past to avoid an anticipated lawsuit the shares would be reduced to only thousands instead of millions of dollars. It's better to let anyone who didn't contribute to the purchase of the winning ticket but think they deserve a potion of the winnings regardless make their claim in court.
