Record Jackpot - $448 MillionReply
Powerball's current limit is $365 million before the match 5 bonus pool takes effect. I could see it getting that high in 18 rolls, so the 19th roll would make it $390 million.

$315M Mega Millions lottery winners stay on the jobReply
I once got in an office pool for a large jackpot, but there were 10 of us with $10 each and we got 100 qp's. We didn't do jack >:The Cali office workers hit it with only $21 worth of tickets- or roughly the same amount most people put up themselves for a 300 Mil Jackpot.. . Just shows to go you that when it be your time it be your time !!!!

Your lottery pool won,but you didn't playReply
I don't participate in pools, so this would never happen to me. But I think that if you didn't enter the pool (even if you had entered before) and they won, that you are out of luck. If you don't put in the money you shouldn't get access to the winnings.

$315 Million Winners Still WorkingReply
If I won it on my own then no I wouldn't. If I was in a pool with other coworkers then I would. At least I would with those that chipped in. What does that have to do with going to work until you get the check?

You either play in pools every week, or never. It is that simple. You don't want to have to try and live with yourself after your pool wins big and you were too cheap to play that week.

It's not YOUR pool if it didn't have any of YOUR money in it to purchase the tickets. Congratulate your co-workers and get back to work. If the truth was know you've probably missed some good opportunities before but you just didn't know anyone who profited from them. A least now you rubbed elbows with some millionaires.

The pool players that skip the one time that the JP gets hit will retain an attorney and get something out of it anyway, you know- they played before, so their winnings were reinvested, etc.... Seen this happen before...

How much did you win on Nov 15 MM?Reply
When I've traveled to Indiana to buy PB tickets I have also bought quick picks for friends and former co-workers lottery pools and tracked how well their numbers did against my numbers and saw no advantage of QPs over picking my own. I suspect the same is true in the MegaMillions game.Picking my own numbers with each mega ball once, I knew I would pay only $44 to play 46 lines. If I was playing in a pool with other players, I might prefer the numbers be QPs and not picked by the bias of one ind

California MM has multiple winnersReply
Just heard on the news that they each put in 3 dollars for a total of 21 total dollars spent on the pool. It goes to show that you don't have to spend a fortune to make one!!!! Here's a link for the developing story. http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_320171621.html
