WWotD - 3 April 2012

Stone cold cynic and greedy bastard that I am, I've always wondered why people group together and pool money for lottery tickets. It sounds so beautiful in theory, because you're all comrades in the work trenches (or groups joined in love of religion, or teamed up by affinities in interests, etc). Inevitably, this is likely to happen (more likely than winning the lottery).

Remember: this is the United States of Adjudication. If a group of people creates a lottery pool, write up a contract and set up some rules. Everyone should have a photocopy of all the tickets belonging to the group; this step alone keeps things clean[er].
