I bet she still hasn't coughed up the $1.

Guess it's up to whomever supposedly paid her $1.00 to either admit or deny (or she's going to have to prove she gave her $1.00 to someone -- difficult thing to do).

It could be any of the following scenarios:

1. She's being cheated by the other winners.

2. She's trying to scam her way into the winnings.

3. She's innocent of scamming but really has no right to any of the winnings because no one paid her share.

4. Someone forgot to mention that $1.00 was for her and now is afraid to step up.

Regardless, no one should be too quick to condemn anyone in this. They could all be innocent. We just don't have the facts.

Was the ticket acutually owned 7 ways or 6 ways. That is to say, did somebody put the $1 in for her then after the win declare two shares. Or, since she didn't pay, was she left out altogether and only six tickets purchased. IF somebody put it a dollar for her, then that person owns a double share of the win.

There is a reason that she is being exluded. It's not likely that ALL six of the others would be in agreement to leave her out without a sound reason.

Do all seven need to grow up or is it possible that not all agreed with their decision to exclude number eight? It's possible that this is a case of the majority rules and the real winners were in the minority.

Where I used to work, one woman handled the collection of the money and purchasing the tickets. After the purchase she would make a photocopy of all the tickets for each participant. That way each of us had our own proof that we could toss in the garbage after we lost! :cry:

The way I handled it was to tell them their numbers ahead of time, mostly so they could have the excitement of seeing the drawing, but it would handle any potential confusion or hard feelings.

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.
