There is case law on this. Unless they had a written contract to share that particular ticket, or all tickets, she gets to keep it all for herself.

That's not how it went down in a NJ court two weeks ago.

All tickets are time stamped as to the sale. If the ticket was bought in a group with 4 other tickets shortly after the manager gave her the 5 dollars, this woman is toast.

If the woman bought a ticket time stamped before the manager gave her the money, she gets it all.

All the rest of the pool tickets were in the office safe.
