Volunteer to be the one to but the tix. If the agreement isn't in writing, you will win all the money yourself! Of course, you will have to spend some of it on bodyguards to keep the others from killing you.

Don't ever buy the tix. Pocket the $1250 and tell the people none of the tix won.

It wouldn't be quite that much. Probably more like 750-800k each, lump sum.
With an annuitized jackpot value of $266 million, if lump sum payment is chosen, payout is somewhere close to 60%, probably a little less, or around $155 million. Split 125 ways, that's about 1.25 million each. After taxes, you might still have 750-800k.
