In a story filled with much greed, 4 co-workers sue over $207M lottery win in Ohio. The workers are suing the other 15 winners over a share in the massive Mega Millions jackpot. But that’s only where the story begins.
The city employee’s in Piqua City, OH had an office lottery pool where they would buy tickets to Mega Millions drawing by using the auto-pick feature.
In the December 9th drawing, the group won some smaller cash awards and the plaintiffs claim they used some of that money towards the December 12th drawing. But the four were not in the office on the day the tickets were purchased, and the winners claim they didn’t contribute.
To the surprise of everyone, the city workers won the $207 million jackpot. The 15 winners refused to share any of their winnings with the other four. Basically saying sorry, you lose.
The four workers claim they have always had an informal agreement and partnership on sharing all earnings.
Attorney’s are now preparing their case for a judge to hear in the future. Efforts are also underway to block the winners from receiving their $6.3 million dollar shares until the court hears the case.
This is just an awful case of greed in the highest. Just share the winnings instead of paying tens of thousands to lawyers. Do the right thing. How would any of the 15 winners feel if they had been out of the office that day and were told you get no part in the winnings. The pool had been going on for a long time. Hopefully, they will come to their senses and resolve this the way it should be. What do you think?
