This is Why You NEVER Have a Lottery Pool

Nothing but a mess if by some chance you all win the "big one." You end up fighting it out in court.

But of course this story could turn out to be false, and that the real winner or winners is/are consulting an attorney and a financial planner:

Wilson told the New York Post she planned to claim her $105 million share Monday but declined to show the ticket to a reporter. She was unavailable for comment Monday -- a Baltimore phone listing for her was non-working.

Co-workers told the Post they pooled their cash to buy several tickets and that Wilson is stiffing them.

Maryland Lottery spokeswoman Carole Everett said Monday, “I never expected, based on that story, that this is the actual winner. We really won’t believe anybody till they walk in with a ticket and the ticket is valid -- and they have identification.”
