Imagine that you decided to organize a lottery group at your workplace and ran the group for 2 years, faithfully putting in your $5 each week.
And then, while you were taking a hard-earned vacation, the group's numbers came in, winning $50 Million. And then the group decided that you weren't entitled to a share because you hadn't put in your $5 that week!!!

Morale of the story, people: Have a signed agreement! Otherwise the only people that will get rich will be the lawyers.
Good luck!
