A group of Maine office workers who pooled their funds to buy $190 worth of lottery tickets with Powerball winner Patricia Wales filed suit against Wales and her husband yesterday, claiming that the 60-year-old disbursement specialist reneged on a promise to share any winnings in the $294.8 million contest.

Mark Robinson, a spokesman for the winning couple, confirmed that Patricia Wales made an agreement with her co-workers, but said that the winning ticket was not among those purchased for the group.

well, that is true. but the winners are claiming that he also bought tickets for himself. Now, its a matter of finding out if he bought that with what means or money. This is interesting indeed, and I'm curious to see its outcome. if I was the guy, I would share the damn money. selfish bitch

danny~!
 
From the grouping and time-stamping it sounds like she is in the clear, but I wouldn't think it's a good idea of the designated buyer of a group purchase to make a stand-alone purchase too.
 
And what will you do with over $40 million dollars????? Why, pay for me legal fees of course!!!

Yo Johnnie, Johnnie C!!! Where are you baby?!??
 
How is it greed? She's definitely in the clear. It would be a very nice gesture of hers to at least give some money to her coworkers, but she shouldn't have to. After the inital splurge on a house, cars, education for the kids and investments, you're going to wish you had the extra millions or so.
 
Hmm at my office, when we play the California Lottery, we pay one guy to buy like 10 tickets. He then goes and photocopies/shrinks those ten tickets, along with a list of the people who participated and then distributres a copy of that to everybody in the office.

So everybody has a photocopy of a sheet of paper with all of the tickets and a list of particpants.

 
Supposedly they can prove through lottery records that they did indeed buy 190 seperate tickets and a couple minutes later bought twenty more for themselves and the winner was among the group they bought for themselves.
