ideal lottery pool sizeReply
I ran a pool at the furniture store I worked at several years ago. Had 8-10 people. I would buys tics and text a pic of the tics to the members. Any winnings went back into buying extra tics. Alas, never had any large wins.

If you run a pool make copies of the tickets and hand them out to each member before the drawing. It avoids all the drama if someone wins with their own ticket.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The pool is going to wait until one of the jackpots gets much larger. We start playing when the jackpot is at least $150 million cash. It makes a difference since the plan is to split the jackpot many ways.

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.

No sir...last time I played in a pool for the MM has been many years, maybe even a 15 years or more.... PB, I have played with a few folks but only when the jackpot gets foolish.

would you play a multi country lottery?
there was some chatter about powerball expanding to other countries with one shared prize pool. for me that would be a permanent turn off regardless of which countries. what do you think?

Answer Me This...Reply
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

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
I need to correct this statement in my post above - Therefore if a jackpot payable to a player for last nights Evening drawing is $110,000, then that is 62% of the total prize pool which had to be approximately $177,000. I should have written it this way - Therefore if a jackpot payable to a player for last nights Evening drawing is $110,000, then that's 62% of the WINNING prize pool which had to be approximately $177,000. My apologies for my confusion. G5
