I think Vivi needs to dress up like this guy

and goes to a store in the ghetto, yells to everyone "Make way to Da Pimp, commoners", slaps down over $1K in cash for the tickets, then walks out like a boss...and puts all of that on cam (from one of his friends) for us to see.

It says that he accepts Amazon gift cards. Is it possible to send that in time for tomorrow? I don't have paypal!


Edit 1 Ahhh okay, Amazon has electronic gift cards. Nice. Going to try it out.


Edit 2 What is that question about data entry? It says, "Are you willing to data entry into the spreadsheet?"

Just paypaled my single share and entered the info on the google docs form.

We're in it to win it!

For the question above: you can volunteer to help out typing the numbers from the tickets to a spreadsheet for easy checking when the winning numbers are out.

Okay thanks. I thought it was asking if I wanted to make my email and name public so I put no. Do you know if vivi will send me a confirmation? I put in 3 shares through Amazon.

Actually, I think it's only fair.

Possibly but better figure out the math now and agree on a share count in case it lands.

If there just so happens to be a winning ticket, could cause a huge mess afterwards.

Just make it 1% of shares or something simple like that. So if we end up with 150 shares, Vivi's "gift" for running it is 1.5 shares. 100 million after taxes means each share would be worth (at first) ~$666,666. Vi would get 1.5 shares of that first or $1 million even.

Now the rest of the shares are worth $99million/150 shares -> $660000

Seems fair given that if he wasn't running it we would have gotten squat.

That's fine but everyone should agree. People go crazy when lots of money is involved 😉

What do you guys think of giving me 1 or 2 shares this time instead of buying my own? 😀

sure. sounds fair since yur doing the work.

but u might want to put in a disclaimer on the next drawing (if noone wins today) that you're adding 1 share for yourself for, say, every 50 shares bought (rounded down)
