Co-worker: hey, I shoulda been in lottery pool From Santa Ana, Calif., an old reliable class of story, the secret sharer who pops up to claim a share after a big lottery win: Seven workers at a California medical lab who shared a $315 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot are being sued by a co-worker. Jonathan De La Cruz said he wants a share of the pot. In his lawsuit, he claims he had always been a part of the group when they bought lottery tickets before, but that he was off work the day they bought the winning ticket. He said the group had an oral agreement that everyone would be included when they pooled their money to buy tickets. The winners said his claims are nonsense. They said it was the first time they had bought tickets together and that it had been almost a year since any of them had pooled money with De La Cruz for tickets. They also said that when they won, he didn't claim that he deserved a cut. The winners will each receive about $25 million before taxes. overlawyered.com
