Has anyone tried a Lottery Pool?
I am new to this board and I am trying to find or start a group lottery pool. I don't know enough people that play the lottery to start a group. Just curious if anyone has participated in a lottery pool and How can I find one?

Unless the office pool can prove that the guy bought a ticket using the office pool money, otherwise the guy wins and it's his ticket. I honestly believe that the guy bought the ticket on his own, he would have to be a real SOB to do that to his friends. I think that the office pool is jealous and greedy, if they don't have proof, then too bad for them. HA HA! I want this guy to win the court battle, the other greedy selfish office pool people can just $#$ #(!

Office Pool conceptReply
Instead of calling it a buy-in, call them entries. If it's a Powerball pool, each entry costs $2. If it's a MegaMillions pool, each entry costs $5. If it's a MM pool for a large jackpot, someone can toss in $5 and get one entry, or invest $500 and get 100 entries. The pool size is the number of entries = number of tickets purchased. You don't need 1,000 people for a 1,000 ticket pool. 50 people each buying 20 tickets would be 1,000 tickets in the pool. Or 1 person buys 1, another person

Do you play alone or in a pool?
When you play the lottery, do you usually play on your own or with others in a pool setting? If you play in a pool, do you buy other tickets besides the ones you got by buying into the pool?

Salon lottery winners settle disputeReply
I think it is smart to already have copies made and distributed to every member a day or so before the draw so they are well aware of which tickets are a part of the pool. This was a reall messy pool. How do you not have any rules, copies, or agreements? Unbelievable. I really don't think they deserve a share since there were no copies of the tickets or numbers that was a part of the pool. But the leader of the pool should have let it be known that she buys tickets seperately as well as with the

if you joined a pool, did you vet the other players for honesty before jumping in feet first?Reply
I run an office pool and that is what I do. Everyone who is in the pool gets copies of the pool tickets, so there's no question over which tickets are the pool's and which are mine. In addition, the tickets I buy for the pool are always multidraw tickets that cover all the draws between paydays, while my personal tickets are single draw. I also buy my own tickets separately at different places from the pool tickets. Hopefully, I won't have any of these sorts of problems if we do hit a big

NJ man sued over $38.5M lottery ticketReply
And if I worked somewhere were there was a lottery pool, I would avoid participating in it even though they stand as good a chance as I of winning. Sure, it would suck to be that guy looking in from the outside should they win. But the fact that I have never witnessed a lottery pool do due diligence in claiming the prize makes me averse to such arrangements. Lottery pools usually come out for a press conference a few days or weeks after the win whereas an individual can discreetly claim on his/h

Trust but verify. Had they verified their combinations before the drawings instead of just trusting a co-worker to tell them the results after the drawings, this mess could have been avoided. Players who buy tickets for themselves and a pool should insist on this policy because some people join a pool thinking if anyone in the pool ever wins a case can be made for them sharing with the pool even if their winning ticket wasn't bought for the pool.

Disputed $50M lottery jackpot partially paid outReply
Another issue that needs to be addressed is the purchasing of additional tickets for one's own self, particularly by the person who is running the pool. For example, lets say there's a pool of 20 people who each pitch in $2 for a total of $40. While purchasing the pool's tickets, the person running the pool buys an additional $5 ticket for him/herself. If that $5 ticket wins the jackpot, members of the pool are likely to believe that deception has occured. Even if the person running the pool was
