Two Quick Picks from Same Store for Same Florida Fantasy 5 Drawing?Reply
When I buy large amount of tickets for work lottery pool, I usually will go to different stores to purchase them. One time I bought just 10 tickets, and 3 consecutive lines had the same 3 numbers. But look at the optimistic side, what if those 3 numbers is part of the winning numbers and you happen to have the other 2 or 3 numbers!

Pool / Syndicate or Solo player?Reply
I play solo almost always. I used to join groups at work when the payouts would reach high levels but that still never amounted to anything. For a while there was a group that would play every draw as a pool but the collections alternated from person to person and that died out pretty quickly as people would forget or just not want to make the rounds. If I do any sharing of funds now it's with my Mother who likes to chip in a few dollars when the pot is high.

Pool / Syndicate or Solo player?Reply
I do both. I play my own and sometimes I'll get a small pool going with coworkers. Even when I'm pooling with coworkers, I'll still get my own tickets for that night, haha.

Powerball Power Play variable multiplier to return in JanuaryReply
I forgot everything about the odds of winning MM. Did you know that lottery players spent $1.5 Billion US dollars trying to win a $640 Million Mega Millions jackpot? I contributed $1 to the pool of losers and winners.

Pool / Syndicate or Solo player?Reply
I play alone but I would most definitely join a work pool when invited, even with full knowledge of all the headache stories we have seen over the years at LP. I'd rather we be fighting for $200M at the courts than be the one guy that didn't feel lucky that time https://www.lotterypost.com/news/229659

Who' s to say...Reply
I think that even if you never pool with anybody and lay low after winning, you still run the risk of someone you know claiming you had an agreement with them and demanding their share. That's just the way some people are - brazen, without ethics, and greedy. They take their chances, hoping for some judge to believe their story. And it seems that lottery winners are treated like people who don't deserve their money.

DC Lottery not paying winners during government shutdownReply
It's dirty pool if you ask me that they won't pay a winner. It's not our fault the government people can't agree. But they punish an innocent winner. Hummm!

Lottery jackpot probe heats up after immunity dealReply
I don't see how the words bogus or scam apply to this, at least as regards to the lottery. It was a legitimate winning ticket. Iowa would have withheld state income tax plus Federal income tax. There may have been fraud as to sharing the proceeds with a spouse or lottery pool but that in no way makes the ticket bogus or the claim a scam, only the distribution of the proceeds.

How BIG can a lottery pool be?Reply
Consider this: When you collect a prize won by a pool you have to include all the members names and social security numbers for tax purposes. How many names can you write on a single form or two? Do you really think the IRS is going to play this silly game?

How BIG can a lottery pool be?Reply
Consider this, in the age we live in where your tweets or youtube postings can go viral in days. Consider that crowd-sourcing is now a reality. Consider the millions who play the Lotteries and are sure never to win the BIG PRIZE in their life-time. Consider the need for anonymity that winners crave. Consider the disgust the winner feel when they realize how much TAXES they have to pay for their good fortune. ALL this will be solved by offering your Lottery Ticket to the millions of people who
