He won't win legally unless he has a darn good lawyer lol. If he takes them to court I wonder if the Lawyer would bring up the history he has as being a player for every lottery with them and that he is still an employee. There may have been a assumption that the group would have pitched in his portion of paying for the lottery ticket(s) out of courtesy and respect for a fellow co-worker. If he had always played when working I would question why no one considered calling him at home to see if he wanted them to chip in his dollar to stay in the group. If he was an avid player with the group then I would expect they would know to put his part in until he comes back to work. I still would volunteer to chip in something to share with him but split it however many ways to include him well that I don't think I would do unless I liked him and he was a friend to me at work.
chipping in at least a measly dollar for hIf I were one of the winning lottery co-workers I would consider how he treated me while working me and I would consider that he was in pain and likely would miss months of chipping in to play. Pain can prevent a person from doing what they want and it's easy to forget, put off when hurting. I would still ask to have a vote to chip in to share some of it with him anyway.
The group may have decided to give him a part, but he certainly ruined that too! Hope he doesn't need that job or a job reference in the future. Of course all of the people who worked with him may decide to retire.
Ok, So I'm watching HLN yesterday and vinnie politan starts talking about this man that had played the lottery with his co-workers for 8 years. Never missed putting money into it. They had never won anything. Something had happened to the mans back forcing him to leave work and go on disability. He had been out for 3 months total. The man hadn't put money into the lotto for the entire time he had missed work.
The co-workers end up winning the lottery. Now the man is sueing them because they refuse to give him what would have been his share of 99 million dollars had he still been at work playing.
What do you think? Is he entitled to a share of the money even though he hadn't been paying to play?
Discuss!
I think not, tho' I would hope that (if it were me and I were not sueing) my co-workers would be gracious and give me some small part, for which I would be grateful,as I would offer the same to a fellow co-worker...as long as I were not being sued
What lunatic lawyer is filing this suit for him? He should be disbarred. This is the kind of stupidity that creates backlogs in the court system.
Hey I was at the track and always play a 5/8 exacta box. It hit and I forgot to bet it that one time. I guess this lawyer would get on board with me suing the track?
Probably expects the group to settle and throw a little money his way, a cut of which will go to the lawyer, simply because doing so is cheaper than the legal fees of fighting the frivolous lawsuit.
