$24.5M lotto win "NIGHTMARE"

[doug]

$24.5M lotto win ruins friendships

Co-workers fight as they wait for $24.5 M prize
A dream of riches for 27 workers at the Powco steel company who hit the jackpot on a Lotto 6/49 draw has slowly turned into a nightmare. Fists are flying, long-time workers have quit, and men who have worked together for years like brothers have quit their jobs because of conflict over who gets to claim a share of the big prize Link to story : http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2...37581-sun.html

I think only the people who actually paid should share.

Hey They even had to come up with a rule
"He finally made a rule -- if you don't pay, you don't play,"
That says it all.

I say If you missed out paying that day it was just too bad for you thats how it goes.
Had the ticket not been a winner I doubt that the same people would have gone to the collector and still offered their missed payment.
As for the people quitting their jobs for the reason being that they couldn't take the fighting? I don't believe it, They quit because they think they can afford to quit now.
Best way to avoid this nonsense Never Play in Lottery Pools

I think the lotteries are wrong holding back payment, if someone has the winning ticket they should pay right away.
then let the courts settle who gets what.

I guess I'll have to file a claim on every big win here in Florida and try to make some extra cash

I agree 100% they should pay out the win to the ticket holder.
