Greed is an ugly, ugly thing. From the New York Daily News:
Lotto woe in win-ville: Hosp workers sue as colleague in pool says jackpot tix is his alone
"Three hospital employees who thought they were about to split a
second-place Mega Millions jackpot worth $175,000 are suing a co-worker
who insists he bought the winning ticket for himself."What a scuz. He was the usual person, apparently, to buy the $3
ticket for the three of them, but when they finally won something, all
of a sudden that wasn't the winning ticket . . . it was his own private ticket. Gee, do you suppose he has TWO sets of three-pick tickets to display?Something tells me, that's a no.
If one takes the responsibility of purchasing a lottery-pool ticket,
one had best purchase singles for oneself, so there's no mistaking
whose ticket is whose. Amazing how a person can turn into a
Greedy Guts when a lottery win pops up.

It's not that people "turn into Greedy Guts when a lottery win pops up", it's that people are demonstrating that they are greedy simply by playing the lottery.
That's a point, I suppose.
[plaintively] But the Texas Lotto's at $45 million!
I'd share. Really. Trust me. >;^>
