Conversations With Marva: I Want My Cut

  • Urban Thought · 11 months ago
    Some times all you have is your word. If you make a verbal agreement stick to it. This person should put themselves in the other's shoes. If one of them won would they want a piece of the pie? Of course they would.

    Did this actually happen to someone? I can not say they would've gotten money from me either. If they were not there to contribute and didn't advise anyone to do so on their behalf, why should they get some money from the winnings? The right thing to do is to withhold what does not belong to someone. Now if you chip in and get screwed over, that is another story obviously.

    I agree Urban...

    My understanding is the winning from previous weaks lottery win was pooled weekly as well which would make their case strong but as everyone didn't contribute every week I wonder how that plays out legally. I can't iagine if there was a pretty set group of people who did this for 5 years how they could deny these people their cut but like you said Karma.


    It takes merely a 100,000 dollars to change the life of most people in this country significantly to the good, after that it is often said it is more harmful than good.

    From what I understand...for 5 years, everyone pooled their money...some people missed some weeks but there was a verbal agreement that said that these 5 folks would share the winnings no matter what. I also understand that this group was a set group; now if these were newbies who just stepped in 6 months ago, I would say step off...but if they have been there contributing for 5 years I say they get a share.

    Interesting. One of the panelists said that not everyone contributed every week. Verbal agreement or not this one is for the courts. The surprise is that those suing can hold up everyone's cash. The story may not end here.


    If you're of the position for "all" in the group getting theirs then that should include newbies too! ;)

    I guess you are right about the newbies...a verbal agreement is a verbal agreement and shouldn't discount anyone.

    Hello Marvalus,


    Well said. Well done. We have much to do this year. But God ....



    As you know, "impossible" ain't nothing but a word to those of us who honestly believe that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us.
