I couldn't find any, most are office pools but wow look at these examples:

http://contests.about.com/od/glossarytermsim/g/lottery-pools.htm

Lottery pools have won big jackpots in the past. For example:

According to an ABC News article, a 49-person office lottery pool at SEPTA, a Pennsylvania transit agency, won a Powerball jackpot for $172.7 million in April, 2012.

As a CNN article relates, a 7-person office lottery pool at New York State's Division of Housing and Community Renewal in Albany split a $319 million Mega Millions jackpot in March of 2011.

The Indiana Lottery shares the story of an office lottery pool at Quaker Oats that shared a $241 million Powerball jackpot among 20 employees.

I'll go in, but I have to wait for funds to go to PayPal account so hopefully I can buy in by Wednesday.

Not online group but other groups won big before.

The meatpackers in Nebraska won one of the largest jackpot a few years ago = http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/23/national/23winners.html?_r=0

We could be the first online group..heheheheh...maybe not because I purchase 2 tickets earlier today <crossing fingers>.

Imagine the horror if someone wins tonight, and Wednesday's drawing goes back to $20 million.
