You guys all share in ONE ticket?

Office pools generally buy many tickets, then if any of the tickets win, the money is split between everyone in the pool.

It was a joke.... just playing off of sfer's wording in the OP.

huge lottos like power ball have "filthy-rich implied odds" with small risk (couple of bucks).

I was in an office pool for the New Jersey Lottery at my last job. About six months after I leave I am reading in the paper and I see that they hit.

Everyone at work is buying a share of a ticket (apparently the jackpot in NY is high right now) at the urging of one of our admins.

I don't know if NY is part of Mega-Millions, but if you are, it's $200M tonight.

Why do you guys even pay attention to this guy. He's a 20+ year old gamer with a Dawson's Creek avatar. What can he post that is going to be worth reading anyway. If I wasn't such a nice guy he'd already be on ignore.
