Scandals in Workplace Lottery Pools
In Florida, when the Lotto gets big, many people invest more in their chances of winning. Some co-workers create workplace lottery pools and develop elaborate spreadsheets to track how much money each person invests and how much money each person will receive if they win.
It is nice to dream about winning, even if you only have a 1-in-200,000 shot at it. However, if your workplace lottery pool is successful in choosing the winning numbers or tickets, there are still other obstacles to overcome. Ideally, the ticket holder would collect the funds and everyone would receive their fair share. But if someone gets greedy, things may not go as planned.
That is where we come in. At Ferrer Shane, our attorneys have years of experience representing clients throughout Florida. We understand the importance of playing fair, and we are here to fight on behalf of clients who were cheated in a workplace lottery pool.
Filing a Lawsuit Against a Lotto Ticket Winner
In a workplace lottery pool, it is important to have a clear contract detailing what will happen with a winning Lotto ticket or other jackpot winnings. If a ticket holder fails to share the appropriate portion of the winnings with the rest of the pool, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit against them. Our lawyers have years of experience representing clients in contract dispute matters, and can work with you to build a strong case against the ticket holder.
