JeffT, thats why I would strongly prefer to be anonymous winner so I would not be miserable if EVERYBODY ask me for money, money, money. It would drive me crazy.
How would you feel if your coworkers pooled in on Powerball lottery tickets and won, and you didn't participate?

If I was a Witness, And my co-workers hit big
The next meetin' I attended, I would lift my skirt
and moon the whole darn congregation
I would show 'em what a total eclipse of the sun looks like
when it's over shadowed by
My Black Azz

My oldest daughter( haven,t heard a word from her in 15yrs)
years ago worked for the City of Hope. Her co-workers
hit the lottery (millions), each contributed 5 bucks. I know
she will think about that until the day she die, just five bucks.
The only problem with a pool, once it starts you can never get
out, because the very day you decide to get out, guess what,
they hit.LOL

I think I would make sure the money is already spent--on silver. Otherwise, regardless, once the dollar becomes toilet paper, it will be worthless. At least, with silver you get to keep the value of it--and, if they insist that I owe them money because they are there, I will insist on a 1099 form. (Plus that they owe me value equivalent to the money first.)

Back in the JW days, I had a job where they pooled their money for lottery tickets. I didn't play because of the JW factor. I do join in now when the occasional job lottery pool happens, but I would look at it completely different if I didn't play.
I play, for the work bond. My actual life may depend on my co-workers and I don't want to hold off on joining in and then they decide between saving my life or playing it safe. But without that, it's a gamble. A couple of bucks here and there can be something to someone with kids in Catholic school or a sick relative living at home or maybe trying to start a business or just going through a few bad breaks. Winning the lottery is like being struck by lightning. It's so rare that I could easily see not participating.
If I were to keep out, or back in the day when I did keep out of the lottery, and my co-workers were to win, I would shake their hands and wish them well and I would be okay with that. Lightning struck and I missed out. That's all. I see it as no different than not buying a ticket on my own and someone wins, except I know the people.

I always chip in, just for that reason. We haven't done it in a while where I work. The lady that used to collect the money to buy the tickets no longer works here. She went on medical leave and never came back. I smell a rat.

Where I used to work we had a lottery pool we bought at least 50 tickets every draw for 10 years.
We only came up with 4 out of 6 one time in 10 years.
I have on my own got 4 out of 5 four times.
The last draw I got 3 out of 6 and of the other 3 two were off by one digit.
But the lottery is not like grenades or horseshoes.

I once matched the first three digits of a powerball ticket that had a jackpot over 200 million. What an exhilirating fraction of a second that was.
