A Vancouver women sued her former boyfriend in 2006, claiming she was entitled to half of a $12.4 million lotto because she had given him the money to buy the ticket. The two reached an undisclosed settlement out of court.

It includes a series of guidelines to avoid possible disputes, including a downloadable form to keep track of who is playing.

'There are no special rules that we have for the office space,' Bitonti said.

The OLG recommends that one person act as group leader, organizing the purchases and sending a weekly email with jackpot amount, draw date, cost per play and the cut-off time for payment.

'Have open communication with the group leader,' Bitonti said.

Members should ask, 'Am I on the list? Did my money go to the ticket?' he suggested.

The group leader should also sign the ticket with their name along with the words 'in trust' to signify that the ticket is being purchased by a group.

Members should also ask for a photocopy of each ticket, Bitonti said.

The OLG also suggests determining how money will be divided before the draw date, including how much should be returned for the next week's purchase.

Resolving disputes

Disputes over group lottery do occur but Bitonti said it is fairly rare.

In 2008, a dispute arose over a ticket in Barrie, Ont., among a number of claimants.

'We determined that there were a group of folks that it was indisputable that they paid their money,' he said.

Those people were given their share of the prize by the OLG and the rest was held in trust by the courts to determine who were the rightful owners of the rest, Bitonti said.

The 19 members of the Scarborough call centre in the middle of the current dispute will have to wait for their share of the prize — around $2.6 million each — a little while longer.

The OLG is currently undergoing a claims review process to determine how the money will be divided.

'It could take a couple of days, it could take a couple of weeks,' Bitonti said of the investigation. 'We're not sure yet.'

If there are any unresolved issues following the OLG review, the dispute can end up in legal arbitration.

Olg Group Play Forms

Online group play enables players to purchase one or more shares in a group and pool them with the shares of the other members. One share corresponds to a set number of selections or plays for a given product, to which one or more Extra numbers can be added for one or more draws. Share configuration is defined by the creator of the group.

The number of shares in the group (between 2 and 100) is also determined by the group’s creator. The final number of shares in the group is confirmed at the deadline of wagers and corresponds to the actual number sold, whether or not the maximum number of shares has been reached. As an example, a group that is defined as having a maximum of 75 shares could in the end be comprised of only 10 shares if that was how many had been sold at the deadline of wagers. The group’s creator also decides if the group will be public (visible to everyone using the search tool) or private (people will only be able to join if they have the group’s Web address (URL)).
