48 Philly transit workers win $172M Powerball jackpotReply
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.

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.

Maryland Mega Millions winner already in pool disputeReply
I don't play pool at the office, but aren't pools supposed to be signed into a document to make them a legal bidden contract? My question is if I play 10 bucks wouldn't some coworkers claim that I was part of a pool?

haha exactly! what is this world coming up to..if she was sent to go and buy the pool tickets does not matter if she bought one for herself but the pool ticket was the most important thing and thats what people know about. If she did not want to be part she shouldnt have participated with the group. All of this dispute would not have emerged. Really this is pure greedy and i hope it is an april fools joke.

Thats why is never good to play in a lottery pool. Because face value or word of mouth agreement is never good. Unless there is a written agreement signed by everybody in the pool. Thats why i never play lottery pools. Written agreements is the best way to prevent things like this from happen. And finally have it notarized and then there will be no disputing.

I always play in a small pool and I am the pool caption. I buy the tickets and scan and email it to the group. That way there is a timestamp and everyone knows the ticket numbers. I can buy as much as I want on my own ...No issues there..
