It will be interesting if we ever learn the facts of this current case. If they are not careful, half the money will be gone in litigation, along with half of them before they get anything. |

Photocopies were made of the lottery numbers and distributed to the ticket buyers when I was in a group lottery purchase. There always has to be a way to document the lottery players in case of a big win like this one. This method eliminated anyone trying to "horn in" on any winnings. In this case, there obviously was miscommunication among the Hacienda group about how many tickets to buy for the group! Live and learn!!!
