Normally, when one is in one of these pools, a photo copy is made of the tickets purchases and sent to each of the pool members. Absent the winnin number being in such a receipt, I don’t think that they have much of a legal leg to stand on.
right , if no real agreement can be proven, you always depend on honesty of the ticket buyer. Sure it seems fishy.
A lot depends on this pool’s common practice. It doesn’t change that he’s a liar.
Eggs-zactly.
When I was in an office pool we all signed an informal agreement outlining how the tickets would be bought and how winnings (if any) would be distributed.
A local group just won $16 million. They have an attorney and a trust already.

Office pools can work. IF everyone has more than an ounce of brains. It sounds like this Jersey group screwed up.
After this liar's claim of going to the foot doctor, he should be made to have no leg to stand on.
I ran an office lottery for a while. I would always distribute copies of the tickets BEFORE the drawing. Never hit anything of importance.
