Running an office Powerball pool is discouragingReply
In my pool, we play both Powerball and Lotto and bought a $10 Millionaire Raffle ticket with our previous winnings. We buy Powerball for the big prizes, Lotto for the better odds. As for our numbers, we play a combination of numbers we pick and quickpicks, again to balance things out a little. We've won a few dollars here and there, but we keep trying.

Lp Members Will Automatically Share w/each other!Reply
Last time I checked, no LP member has ever given me a buck, so no you all would be out of luck if you think I would share even one red cent with you. I am in the school that doesn't advocate lottery pools (diluting the winning impact lessens the thrill of winning is what I believe...I would rather NOT win ALL by myself than to win and have to share with 10 to 100 others lucky smucks!). I also think it is so cheesy when those winning lottery pools dub themselves some lucky name like Lucky 7, etc.

Tax office workers win Powerball lottery jackpotReply
re-draft all ya want. The facts are no contract is air tight based clearly on most folks who say that a lawsuit can be brought about by the most ludicrious of allegations. Sorry but I stand by the courts and the legal system, that no pay no win still holds true. And to those that make claims that such suits exist, please be exact and name the docket # and dates. Chances are the over generalization that such is going on isnt near the truth of facts. My in law is a lawyer and he has access to case

Tax office workers win Powerball lottery jackpotReply
any good lawyer would simply take the case on the foundation, ya snooze ya lose! Sorry but if ya didnt pay, ya dont get to decide how the winners money is divided up. A contract has three parts, consent, parameter (guidelines) and signatures..it doesnt have to be written. My lottery pool is three people, me,myself and I. *grin* Not a fan of large groups winning but hey, so be it. Just sorry that it had to be a group of women who cant learn to be quiet til AFTER they collect the money.

What's the cut off point for you?Reply
I run a lottery pool in my office which plays Powerball and Louisiana Lotto every Wednesday and Saturday. It's only $4 every payday, and we manage to buy 4 Lotto and 4 Powerball tickets for each drawing. On my own, I play Lotto and Easy 5 every Wednesday and Saturday. I play Powerball when the jackpot hits $100 million. As for scratchers, I only play them occasionally, and only if there's a second chance drawing for losing tickets.

Along with what car you'd buy...Reply
Would like to buy a house to start off with, just to get out of apartment living. Then I would find some property and buy that and start the design on the custom home that I want to build for the family. State of the art design, home theater with theater seating, swimming pool, private office/computer room for me, a kitchen that the wife could work in (most cabinets are too high for her) Finally, I would schedule a family cruise. Wife wants Disney Cruise for 7 days. I want a extend cruise

I know how you feel Grengrad. Even though statistically your chances are higher with the pool, what I call your 'real world odds' are not any better, it'll still take a miracle. Good luck.

Went public too soon?Reply
I wouldn't go public at all if I could avoid it but if I did, I wouldn't do it until I had made my plans for what I plan to do and already made my plans. Since I'm in a lottery pool, whether or not we go public will be determined partially by the other members, not just me. When I buy Powerball tickets myself(when the jackpot goes over $100 million), if I were to win, I'd stay out of the public eye altogether if I could. On top of that, I wouldn't quit my job right away, I'd wait several m

If I Could Save Time In A Bottle...Reply
I voted for other. one because none of the choices fit my situation. I would say that in a given week (besides the time on this site, participating in forums, and putting up predictions for different lotteries that I don't play in real life) I probably spend about 4-6 hours a week discussing strageties for the next draw, number crunching, filling out slips, keeping records, and balancing the book. oh, and telephone calls from my pool members calling in thier numbers. time spent a day varie

Man accused of stealing $10,000 lottery ticket from co-workersReply
he did it because he thought he would never get caught...in my office pool we make copies of all tickets and give to all members participating so they know beforehand all the numbers played... No amount of $$$ makes it worth it -- yes you are right but sometimes people steal more when the amounts are not that high becasue they think no one would notice the small stuff..
