Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation.  This agreement is more well care.  It is bad enough to lose with the lottery.  But to win the lottery and then lose your friends over haggling about who got what would be downright silly.  This agreement helps protect against that contingency for two reasons:  first, you have the agreement in writing; and secondly, everyone has a chance to determine whether they “really” mean in before they sign.

1.	Keep multiple copies.  Keep the paperwork in order as long as you elect to invest in lottery tickets.
