Review List
This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. This agreement is more well care. It is bad enough to lose with the lottery. But to win the lottery and then lose your friends over haggling about who got what would be downright silly. This agreement helps protect against that contingency for two reasons: first, you have the agreement in writing; and secondly, everyone has a chance to determine whether they “really” mean in before they sign.
1. Keep multiple copies. Keep the paperwork in order as long as you elect to invest in lottery tickets.

Hi, I’ve found your stuff pretty helpful but you can improve it by answering my question – )) how many Lottery winners picked their own numbers? Do you know a website where you can find out the percentage of lottery or powerball winners who picked their own numbers or did a quick pick?

Not sure about a site, but I was watching a documentary on TV the other night and it stated that about 70 percent of picks were quick pick with the remainder picking their own numbers. They determined that their was no statistical advantage either way. However, if you select a commonly picked set of numbers and win you may have to share those winnings with many.

One aspect that I don’t like about this contract is that it allows a person to participate in the winnings even though they may not have contributed in advance of the drawings. Thus, they could “forget” to contribute until after the drawing. If nothing wins, they could try to weasel out of paying, but if there is a significant win, then they could come up afterward and say “Here’s my $2 fee, where are my winnings?”.
My contract would say that if you don’t pay in advance, then you are not a participant for that drawing and thus are not entitled to any winnings.

Is legal for the pool manager to charge a fee?
