Lottery winner recounts harassment after claiming prizeReply
He looks like a nice normal guy and seems to have good sense. I do not blame the economy. There will always be people with a sense of entitlement for any success or luck you have, especially winning the lottery. The lottery win just let him find out who was a true friend and who was not. I worked with a woman many years ago and she used to tell people she would be livid if anyone she knew won the lottery and did not give her 10% at least. I would be insulted if a friend even gave me $1 of their

Some Baptists want Texas Lottery Commission shut downNews Story
As lawmakers look at whether the Texas Lottery Commission is operating effectively, influential Baptists are suggesting the lottery shouldn't merely be tweaked. They want it abolished. Ask the pertinent questions. Has the lottery fulfilled its promise? My answer would be 'no,' said Suzii Paynter, director of the Baptist Christian Life Commission, in an interview Friday. Baptists contend the lottery was sold to Texans 20 years ago as a voluntary, non-regressive way to raise money, but inst

Penn. Lottery seeking outside help for marketing effortsNews Story
'The lottery would not be sold nor will it be fully privatized' An aging population's increased demand for services and the need for stable funding for those programs sparked Gov. Tom Corbett administration's decision to seek private managers for the Pennsylvania Lottery, senior administration officials told a House oversight committee Tuesday. By 2030, a quarter of Pennsylvanians will be 65 years or older, and the lottery, which had sales of $3.2 billion during the 2010-11 fiscal year, wi

Mega Millions winner forced to split jackpot with co-workersReply
Here's the useful quote from the article: The case ... marked the latest cautionary tale involving lottery pools, pacts often based on trust and a handshake. The lesson from this is that contracts should be in writing, and they should be written by somebody who's not an idiot. Despite some hassles along the way there are at least 5 players who wouldn't have won if they hadn't been in a pool. I put won in quotation marks because there's only one person who really knows if the winning ticket wa

Workplace Lottery Pool Contract...Reply
Just as important as a good contract is your correspondence with all players and potential players. Try to get everything in writing which is very hard with an office pool. I work in a home office now and find running a office pool now is much easier because all correspondence has to be by email. Now I have an audit trail of every conversation. Before, when I worked in a regular office, there would be a lot of casual conversations about the office pool. Some people would indicate they want

Woman accused of killing Florida lottery winner sued by victim's estateReply
If Dee Dee Moore was a licensed Financial Advisor she's not representative of the hundreds of thousands of Financial Counselors who are legitimate/ethical practicioners of their profession. From what I read of this story, Moore befriended Shakespeare after he won and claimed money publicly by first paying someone (I believe article stated a police officer) money for informing her of his residence and other identifying infomation. One purpose for speaking with Financial advisors, Tax accounta

Ughh...So Angry at a Clerk at my Gas Station!Reply
LOL, how dare this clerk jokingly ask a customer if he will split a potential jackpot! Clearly, she's trying to extort money that this customer will clearly be beholden to sharing with her! I'm sure that security cameras recording the conversation will verify that said customer must indeed share a potential jackpot with said employee, as this constitutes a binding verbal contract! Never mind that the employee was clearly kidding and handed the customer the ticket. She clearly needs to go away fo

Ohio man sues for share of $99M lottery jackpotReply
You can see it however you want, but membership is always based on the rules of the pool. It seems pretty clear from the article that all parties agree that membership in this pool was at least on a monthly basis rather than a per drawing basis. If the guy who's suing is telling the truth and the group previously covered for people who weren't at work for various reasons that creates a precedent that may well be correctly interpreted as part of the pool's contract. If the pool kept small winning
