what would you do, if you were in a syndicate and the person who had bought the ticket will not pay you? would you physically harm her?? I think I would..

But we dont know the full story. She is saying the ticket that won is separate from the syndicate.
would you believe her???
And it looks like she might not have won in any case.
lol, I dont know, thats why I said we dont know the full story. Why would she ring up work and boast about it? She could have just kept it quiet if she was about to rip them off.
True.
The others will use a no win no fee firm.
looks like shes won nothing
as for a syndicate win she would have no option other than to give you your share as all syngicates are done through the lottery people...if the Us is the same as our country
If she bought ten sets of numbers on one ticket and one line on another and the single line won then they have no claim. Yes she could give them some money if she wanted to but they certainly have no right to a one tenth share each.
If she bought eleven seperate tickets, provided them with details of ten sets of numbers ahead of the draw and the eleventh came up then again no real legal claim. If however she didn't give them their numbers in advance then I'd say it would be difficult for her to claim after the event that the winning ticket was hers and not theirs.
The same would apply (perhaps even more so) if she put all eleven lines on one ticket, did she tell them which were their ten lines beforehand?
Even if they had advance notice they might argue that she didn't give the syndicate a chance to pick which ten of the eleven they wanted. Although she could say that nobody objected when told which were theirs. I'm sure the lawyers would be happy to fight over that for years.
Personally if it was me, and I clearly had ten lines on one ticket that didn't win and one line on my own ticket that did, then I would give them a share. It wouldn't however be equal to my share. In this example ($62 million and 14 other people) I guess I would give a million dollars to each of them without thinking about it, I'd still have 48 million left, though 2 million might be a little high).
*I have no idea if it was 10 lines / 1 line, these are all just examples to illustrate my reasoning
From the story though it seems they had regular numbers that didn't come up, but gave her extra money to do some last minute tickets, maybe quick pick ones. If she bought her "seperate" winning ticket at the same time, they have a very good case, it would be impossible for her to prove which belonged to her, which didn't.
Seems she can't decide if she has actually won or not though - bonkers.
If she hasn't won, what a coincidence that the winning ticket was bought so close to them. If she did lie about winning, I wonder why.
Notoriety?
If you were going to screw over your syndicate members would you really let them know? Or would you cash in and keep quiet for a while as you pick which island you're going to buy?
You would think so, but where's the real winner and why haven't they come forward yet? That would end it all now. This is all very odd.
Yeh, that sounds about right!
Dont be daft 1000s of people are in syndicates and they work just fine.
She's had a couple of days, why the hell would you not go and get it immediately
Why would you "hide" tickets anyway, other than in a desk drawer or your locker, does she do that every week?
This woman is not the winner in my opinion, she's just an idiot that thought she could (a) con the lottery people after she saw that they announced the local shop was where the winning ticket was bought (b) con her workmates too
Now the evidence is required her nonsense is unravelling.
