Car salesmen lottery pool wins $16 million jackpotReply
I bet the salesman whose girlfriend refused to lend him the $30 he needed to join the pool is going to break up with her now. LOL It is surprising that they kicked in $50 each for only a $16 million (annuity) jackpot, but someone must have felt lucky!

I was a part of a winning lottery pool about 5 years ago. We hit 5 of six numbers with the sixth number 1 digit off. Just so happened there was more than 4000 people that hit 5 that same week. Split between 17 employees, we ended up with a meager $82 each! Still moe than the $5 bet but a bit of a heartbreak to be so close!

At their ages $1.6 mill is not serious retirement money unless the live fairly modest lives and make good investments. It's possible but I expect all will eventually have to return to the work pool. Congrats to the winners!

The more you play the more your chances of winning, bottom line. Those that couldnt afford to pony up the money or were too cheap dont deserve anything. I hope there are no iscriminatory lawsuits that pop up at this joint. I myself had 40 bucks on this draw, I would have joined that pool in a heartbeat.

I find it hard to believe that is a serious question. It is so simple, I do not want to waste time explaining.On a more positive note and as a strong believer in lottery pools, it is good to see pools winning. It appears to me that is the most common characteristics amoung all winners is the use of pools to win.As lotteries move to bigger odds and bigger jackpots, lottery pools become more of a viable option.Anybody interested in the $500 million Mega Millions pool I posted about before?Good luc

Largest single jackpot winnerReply
It might only make up for the introduction of N. Carolina. Unless CT leaves it would just be a new large pool of players added so I wouldn't hold my breath for a record.

I would have thought that if no one won it on the 5+0 level, then the money goes into the pool for all of the other prize levels. This isn't true??

That's not a law. The law says that all payouts must be pari-mutuel, and what happens is, is when no one matches 5+0 (which hasn't been done in CA for a while), the prize pool rolls to the next drawing. Once someone wins, one could end up only getting $83,000 or something.
