especially if you're part of an office pool. If it was like mine where it'd be split 9 ways, that's under $30k each

Or you could have had $0. Or even worse, lose money on the ticket.

Yeah man, getting $30,000 for free sucks. I'd be disappointed too.

The question is would you spend the time cashing the ticket?

If anyone wins any money that they feel is too small an amount for their large wallet, for a small fee, I will take that ticket off your hands and save you the hassle.

No one is going to complain about winning $30k. But if you beat the odds (1 in over 85 million) and match all 7 numbers. You'd expect you and your entire family to be set for life. Not to be able to buy a Toyota Corrolla outright.

It would suck having to share the jackpot. Not saying i would complain but it would be much better winning 50 million than 15million

That's because we buy way more tickets here in Edmonton because it's such a hell hole to live in we all want to get out.
Right?

This is entirely anecdotal, but I know way more people who routinely buy lottery tickets in the chuck than here in Calgary.
I'm actually part of an office lottery pool now for the soul reason that I don't want to be left out of any remote winnings.
