And that's why

I don't buy lottery tickets as part of a group.

I mean, look, my chances of winning the lottery are very damn small to begin with, and I only rarely buy tickets to begin with so ehhh...

Not to mention that I've said, multiple times, that if I ever hit the "OMGWTFBBQ MILLIONZ" prize, everyone at the store I work at is getting some money (to which I immediately follow up with "not equal shares, let's get that straight now"), but I don't need various people jumping in and saying "BUT WEZ ALL GET MONIES!!!!1".

I mean, I'll get enough of that shit from my relatives. :P

Group lottery pools: Unless it's on paper and everyone has a copy, it's bullshit.

Also, it's why press announcements for "Who won the lottery!" are scary things.

They really should allow you the choice to be anonymous. Fuck, if they put my name in the paper saying I won 30 million, my phone would be ringing off the hook. I'd have to go hide in the desert.

I'd be tempted to change my phone number. People who you've *never met* tend to show up out of the blue and claim to be family.
