Whenever there is a lot of money involved, that is when the greed comes out and people either try to keep others from getting their fair share or they are trying to get what they think is there share. When you read about these stories you just have to shake your head and wonder how did they let them get themselves into this predicament?
Well it turns out that the lottery corporations publish guidelines for people in a group to follow and guidelines if you happen to be the administrator of the group. We are going to republish them here and perhaps make a comment or two as well based on our own personal experience. These are good lottery group play guidelines to follow and hopefully since they come from one of the big lotto groups, they are based on their experience.

Discussion about Lottery Group Play Guidelines
This is really about trust of your captain or organizer for your lottery group play. Also trust of the individuals who are in your group. As well as those who may be in the group or feel that they are, although they do not pay every week.
If you are having issues with payment, and win a big lottery win, there is a possibility of ending up in court. Either the person who did not pay that week is going to sue for his or her share of the lottery win. Or those people who did pay are going to object to the non payer participating in this win. Then there are the people who will say, if someone would have asked me, I would have paid. They want their share. This sort of thing really happens. The best way around this is to make sure everything is well documented.
