Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Nothing wrong with an office pool. Just put everything in writing. Be clear about the rules. If they decide to buy tickets with any small amount won, put it in writing. Any proceeds from winning tickets totaling $50.00 or less from a drawing are used to purchase tickets for the next drawing the pool participates in. Use of winning ticket proceeds from a previoius drawing does not make the participants from the previous drawing that had proceeds from winning tickets eligible for

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
quit making me sick and share If the winners weren't planning on paying out these other 4 members it was probably because the 4 were lazy for the week and thought they'd save a few bucks since the pool would most likely not win anyway. If they truely were out of the office when money was collected, they could have easily sent an email or called to say they would gladly make up the money next time they were in, and any group would be more than willing to consider them 'in' for the drawing in t

Sparky, have you though about switching to de-caf? There's nothing mandatory about pool agreements. They're certainly a really good idea, but they're not mandatory. Players are free to risk losing a big chunk to lawyers because they weren't clever enough to thoink thisg through. The poster you quoted had if exactly right: the lawsuit is another example of the reason that the agreements *should* be in writing.

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
In this case, I think the plaintiffs may have a good case (which is different than an easily provable case) for partial shares. If they participated in the 12/9 drawing and winnings from that drawing were used to buy tickets for the 12/12 drawing, then they were de facto participants in the 12/12 drawing. The only question would be how much they participated, and how the winnings should be divided. If all 19 people (the original 15, and the 4 plaintiffs) normally played, each one would own 1/

Honestly, I don't think the plaintiffs have a case. The way I see it, you're only included in on a pool if you put in the money for the drawing in question. They didn't for that drawing.

Don't let this happen to you! If you're going to run a pool put the rules in writing covering all the bases. Also, don't roll small winners into future draws.

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Lottery pools suck for a variety of reasons.Being sued by jealous people that didn't kick in any money to the pool is just one of the reasons.Having to share a jackpot is another reason.

Ohio lottery player wins $207M Mega Millions jackpotReply
You have to look at the odds vs. the jackpot amount, in which case most States' regular Lotto can provide a life-changing win with a much better dollar-vs.-odds return . But I play at least 1 even in a low drawing but save the $5 plays for a big jackpot.. the $1 you'd spend on the $12M save them all for the $50M if you like. My goal though is have one strong set of number rather than 5 weaker sets.. I have not been near Piqua since Year 2000, and passed the exit for it in 1997-98, also the fi

207 Million over.Reply
I quit getting my hopes up on the big games and only play as a part of a pool at work. I hit 458 the other night on KY pick 3 and won $300. This year alone I've made over $900 on pick 3, $2 on Powerball.
