Coworkers fight for share of B.C. lottery winReply
What I wonder is why someone would work at a fast food place for six years.My impression's always been that they do it for the money. Ask a 12 year old kid what he wants to do when he's grown, he'll almost never say, I'd like to spend my life flippin' hamburgers .It's regretable these pools never seem to work out the way the members hoped.

Lottery Pools??Reply
I've heard there can be problems in that situation as well. People can change when there is alot of money involved.My opinion is for a lottery pool, all the rules should be agreed upon in advance and written down. When things are written down if someone does want to make trouble, what was written down can be referred back to. When people are discussing something, there can be a misunderstanding when an agreement is reached so putting it in writing is the way to go to make it clear to all invo
