5/8 Lotto pool (For 5/11 pool see Vivi's thread)

[Zeze]

I plan on going after work, there's a few gas stations in between here and there so shouldn't be an issue of busted machine!

Different states would be cool, who would do the others though?

Ask RossMAN. I trust him, as should many of us do.

Is there a true logic for buying tix in different states? It'll all same random number generator of same machines, no?

Yeah, I am curious how much it would help, haha.

Thanks.

IMO if the payout is >=10/share, it should get paid out. anything less can go to Vivi or roll into the next buy as community $

It'll be another discussion once we get there. I am guessing everyone will want to do different things so pay out, or just buy back in.

it is kind of moot though, since we're going to hit the jackpot.

 

[Dankk]

Hmm... very tempting. I might buy a couple shares.

So all I have to do is PayPal the money through Vivi's website and enter my info on that Google Docs form, right? That simple?

How many people do you have so far, Vivi?

 

[iRONic]

Thanks again for hooking us up, Vivi.

The spreadsheet says 80 shares! About 60 people.

Yeah, follow the instructions on my site.

 

[iRONic]

Paypal can eat a dick.

 

[Daaavo]

In for 5 shares.

 

[richardycc]

I didn't paypal the money through Vivi's website, but did fill out the google doc. I am in, right?

you need to send money to vivi to be included, i'd imagine. send a corresponding amount to what you entered in gdocs.

If your money does not reach Vivi before the deadline, then you are not. The google doc is just supporting info, the money is the thing.

 

[Krazy4Real]

Just bought my shares. I can't wait to collect my winnings. 🙂

This.

Just make sure to send in the funds as well.

 

[richardycc]

I meant to say I sent the money directly from paypal.com and didn't do it thru his site.

I'd be willing to volunteer, I'm in Texas so no state taxes on winnings here either...don't know that it would have any effect on our "chance" of winning, just looking to spread out the work a little

I'd be willing to volunteer, as well. Kansas does have state tax on the winnings, but they won't publish your name as a winner unless you grant permission for them to do so.

That is fine, that is how it should be done!

Pretty sure there's no way, legally, around paying state tax if a winner's state collects it.

I'm almost positive you go by the rules of the state you "win" it in...I could be wrong about that but I don't think so
