Legal Question in International Law in California

Luke works at a small manufacturing company. For the past three years he and three co-workers have contributed $10 a piece to purchase lottery tickets whenever the jackpot reached $8 million or above. Luke would inform the other three co-workers when the pot reached $8 million, collect their contribution and purchase the tickets. One week the pot reached $8 million and Luke informed two of the group but neglected to find Nick. Luke purchased the tickets without Nick's contribution. One of the tickets purchased contained the winning numbers and was worth $35 million. Nick approached Luke and asked for his share of the winnings. Luke and the other two co-workers declined to share.
