200 Million!!Reply
$200M should generate enough interest that new office pools will start forming. If one wins there will be the usual whining from co-workers who were too poor or cheap to participate but think their greedy co-workers in the pool should share their good fortune with them, after all if only they had known they were going to win they would make an effort to get the money somehow. If the pool will accept a late payment, the payment can be taken from their share of the winnings.

B.C. lottery officials extend deadline to settle fight over jackpotReply
Some people have expanded that concept to include those co-workers who think about joining the pool but can't come up with the money as expressed in the story of the car salesmen lottery pool that won $16M. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/117884.htmWhen ever any one wins a big jackpot, everyone including their family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and even the clerk that sold them the winning ticket wants a part of it.RJOh

B.C. lottery officials extend deadline to settle fight over jackpotReply
This is one of the reason I really dislike Lottery Pools. People who never or rarely participate in the pool don't chip in, come out of the wood-work claiming that they were part of the pool in the first place The people who are involved in pools need to always have some type of contract to avoid this mess. Me, I perfer to play only.

Actually, I don't think the comments and suspicions are unwarrented. There are too many people in this world trying to scam others and the people on this board are just warning others not to jump into something that sounds a bit fishy. I don't believe that any lottery pool can guarantee 100% money back. Otherwise why start a pool in the first place? You should be able to win constantly on your own.

The term lottery pool is very apt in this case. A pool is a body of water in which things can sink. Like your money . . .Orangeman

Car salesmen lottery pool wins $16 million jackpotReply
That's my point, a nice and good hearted friend would have covered the additional $30 he needed to get into the pool in the first place, after all $30 wasn't much for a $250 pool. Does winning $1.6M before taxes ever turn a person into a more good hearted and giving person? It would take a lot more than that for me to start handing out $10K to my co-workers or anyone else who wanted it.

Jackpot Percentage for MMReply
32% of ticket sales (excluding TX Megaplier) goes into the jackpot pool. That means almost 65% of the total prize pool is the jackpot.

CA screws playersReply
ryanm -A pari-mutuel lottery payout system is only good if you're the person running it or taxing it. P-M takes all the risk out of a lottery and puts all the liability on the bettor. In a P-M lottery system the State cannot lose.If you've ever been to a horse race and placed a bet, you've participated in a pari-mutuel gambling system. But, in any such system, the circumstances are different. You'd have trainers, jockeys and other employees to pay, animals to feed, and owners looking at the bott
