it's just human nature. some of them (employees who didnt' get into the pool that day) will put on a good front but will do the eye roll when one of the winning stayers are guffawing at their desks. not really being concerned about the company's welfare. if they still want to work they should go somewhere else to do it.

As far as being detested by others, this is something I think about with any win. Whether it be millions, half mill a few thousand, I just believe it would bring out the worse in people. Other than the winner.

Yep, only in the U.S. is the government the big winner with rapacious taxes for people who win. It's not right.

Each week it's the first 20 people who get their name down on the sheet, meaning it is not always the same 20

Canadians may be less litigious than their southern neighbors, but I can still imagine a lawsuit claiming that the lottery to be in the lottery pool was rigged or unfair.

Although I hate lottery pools, I think this cap on number signing up was an excellent idea. At least those in the pool became actual millionaires instead of how it played out for the 100 Wisconsin Sargento Powerball winners of that $208 million jackpot who only walked away with at most $700,000 after taxes. Anything less than a million is not enough to retire on...not for me at least since I would plan to travel internationally a lot and be active. If one only plans to take road trips, sit out o...

anyone who stays will be detested by the others for sure. especially the ones who play but failed to get into the first 20 in. winning office pools destroys small businesses. even losing ones distract employees from performing their duties 100%. the only incentive for the ones that stay will be to have someplace to go everyday rather than sit at home counting their money. i would immediately fire all the winners in order to give a job to someone who needs it. these winning employees production w...

most indicated they will keep working

I wonder if their going to stay at the same job. The morale at that place must be horrible.

Try this story on for size....( California Lottery)

Group of 52 at Downtown L.A. Engineering Firm to Split $1.3 Million Powerball Prize

When John Trainer Martin took over his Los Angeles structural engineering firm many years ago, he said he jokingly told his employees his first rule was: There will be no office pools that I m not part of! Talk about a good move!

He and 51 colleagues at John Martin Associates pooled their money to buy Powerball tickets for the February 7 draw. One of... [ More ]

Maybe the employer pays for it as an incentive to be on time

Yea that is REALLY strange, only 20 can sign up? Never heard of such a thing for a group. Wonder if it just makes it easier for the person buying the tickets, they just buy 20 each time

She kept on saying: 'I've never seen this before, I've never seen this before, Lord said.

That was similar to the reaction a clerk had when I matched four on a PB ticket over a year ago, apparently clerks don't see winners very often.

Congratulations to our neighbors up North. They might remember that July 20,1969 is the day that man landed on the moon. They will definitely celebrate this lucky day in their lives July 20,2015.

Well, at least they had a sign-up sheet. Hopefully this will mean that there won't be a lawsuit from fellow employees, but that is not a given.

Congrats to the winners.

Claudine Forget said she feared the worst when her colleague began chatting with her online this past weekend by saying: Call me it's urgent.

He told me to sit down, said Forget, who works the night shift for hardware retailer Rona Inc. south of Montreal.

I told him to stop. I thought something had happened to his family. Then he said we won $55 million.

Forget and all but one of her co-winners graveyard shift workers who bought the Lotto Max ticket together collected their windfall... [ More ]
