just make sure the guy who bought the tickets won't do what the guy in the news did a while back:

he basically bought the tickets for the pool and some for himself, but "bought the winning ticket with his own money" and the cooworkers got nothing.

We bought $20 worth. I'd be happy with the $100 grand, I'm not greedy. But the jackpot would be nice, even if it was a split.

Wednesday night, I dreamed that I was driving down a freeway, and the traffic suddenly stopped. Many police cars had the road blocked off, and there were people on foot milling about. I got out of my car and asked someone what was going on. He said that the winning $200Mil lottery ticket had been lost somewhere, and they were all looking to find it. I stood there watching for a minute, then walked over to a grassy hill on the shoulder. I saw a small slip of paper and picked it up. I read the numbers off the paper, and realized I had the winning ticket. I was ecstatic, but someone kept trying to tell me that they only paid out $60k per year. I woke up, rather disappointed, and bought two tickets that day. One with the numbers on the ticket in my dream, and the other with numbers that seemed to me like they would win.

I just paid my poor people tax and picked up 7 tickets. I think it would be hilarious if the Lost numbers hit. I just want to win enough to pay off my house in one chunk. That'd be the ... *ahem* ticket.
