If I win 2.2 million dollars after taxes, I'd give 100,000 to my coworker who put money down for 8 years. Like a poster said, if everybody does that he'd get his share, everyone wins.
The only way I can think this doesn't happen is because the man either doesn't have any friends in that office, or they're just a bunch of greedy people, period.

There's nothing moral about giving someone anything when it's undeserved.

Since they took the "cash option" they only got 2 million each after taxes not 4.5 million.

See how money ruins relationships? Morally they should give him some but 3 months is a long time to not contribute

See the point is loyalty. Dude was loyal to the pool for 8 years. 8 full years then he had a back injury so he couldnt play. Maybe he didnt have money because he had to pay for doctor bills or what not
But the point is that the dude been loyal for 8 years.
This is the reason why I dont have friends. Nobody is loyal and honest these days. Treat everybody the way you would want.
Anyway based on fact he been loyal for 8 years morally they should give him something

Exactly that s what i said. Heck dude been loyal for 8 years. Everyone throw him 100k and write it off on their taxes and they win.
Heck they can make that 100k back within 1 month easily with their eyes closed. Greedy people with no heart

Yeah, he was one of them. I'd offer to give him a house, car, and a vacation to where he wants.

you could at least throw the man a mill or 2 so he could kick back and relax. Everybody only has to put in a 50-100k. They gettin like 4 mill each! Now everybody is gonna lose cuz they have to pay lawyer fees and still have to pay homie his slice. They on that Gordon Gecko Greed

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Yes, the others do have reason and justification to not give him anything, but seriously? You're not going to give him even a small share because he was injured while you won? Call me soft or whatever, I would have given him some money if I was in that position.
It just shows how money will expose who you really are... even if he didn't deserve it he was part of the team and I'm sure a friend to some. Held it down for 8 years, hit a spot of bad luck then the others just left him behind? People really are selfish and greedy these days

How are they morally obligated? If that's the case they could argue that he was in the wrong for not contributing towards purchasing the ticket while waiting to swoop in if/when they won.
If you take emotions out of the equation it's a pretty clear-cut decision, imo.

Give him some money and get this over with. Cause in the meantime, you can't do %+** with your money, you got to keep some on the side "just in case" he wins. Might as well give him some and end this whole story now

Like someone said earlier a good question is do yall think that once he came back, would he have paid up for thoes three monthes he missed if they didnt win?
And yall are trying to make it seem like the coworkers are being supergreedy, when he could have easily paid ahead or made a simple phone call....
At the end of the day those coworkers know him alot better then we do

Just think about the odds though. Dudes not thinking about no lotto pool after having back surgery. Maybe they too felt they shouldnt bother him with an event so unlikely to occur. Everyone probably felt that he would just come back, pay his backed up lotto fees in some way. Maybe it's slowly over the next 3 months... These people have been going through the motions for at least a decade.. There's probably a million companies out there doing the same thing with the same type of sad employees hoping for that moment to hit.. They are all probably guilty of being somewhat lazy. You go through those motions/ "Don't worry about it Bob. We'll get you back in when you get back.." Never actually thinking that they will hit. Everyone has gone through those emotions.
Maybe I'd be a bad lottery winner or jackpot winner, but why me? Why not the lady sitting next to me as I hit that $5,000 dollar jackpot... I remember winning $600, tipping the cashier/floor clerk $20, and giving a random lady next to me, as she cheer me on, $20.. Why am I entitled to that money and not them? It's not like I some how deserve it compared to them.. Why 22 of us, and not the other 5 people who would randomly play off and on for the past couple of years. I guess that's that moment where people can start taking advantage of you

Exactly. I don't understand the notion that the winners deserve it more than him because they happened to be healthy and working when the lotto hit. Legally, he may not be entitled to anything but he put money down for 8 years. Don't think about the 60 bucks he missed when he was hurt, but about the dang near 6k he put in over the past 8 years (if I did my math right
If that don't count for nothing in their book then either he has messed up coworkers or maybe he's just a @*+$%%! with no friends
