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

[Zeze]

how many shares are we at? I'm in the process of asking my friends to join.

 

[Juddog]

I agree with the above about 1% being fair.

 

[ViviTheMage]

I am thinking of stopping, we're at around 1400$, and I don't want to go to the bank again ... haha.

someone graciously opted to pay for a share for me (which is another 5 tickets)!

 

[Zeze]

rofl, they don't trust you. I don't blame them.

I wouldn't either if I came across some random internet pool.

How many shares can you buy? My friend is interested. Is it capped at 3?

 

[dawheat]

In for 1 share

 

[jaedaliu]

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

I imagine everyone that bought in would have to say yes. Otherwise, a headache of legal issues may happen.

I'm going to say "no"

did I miss another link for a google doc? I just entered my info into the fields on vivi's website, but never really saw a spreadsheet....

:hmm:

 

[Zeze]

Hey there's no option to send money as 'gift' on paypal.

I just see:

What are you sending money for?
[] I'm paying for goods or services
[] I'm sending money to family or friends

And nothing about gift on next screen. I want to do this right.

IIRC, there is no limit, you or anyone can buy as much as you want but better hurry, the deadline is coming up in a few hours.

Pick family or friends.

We have a 1 in 116,816 odds of winning the Jackpot

or a 1 in 3,436 odds of winning the $1 mil

 

[Zeze]

BRB, off to buy blow.

That's it AFAIK. That data will get dumped to a spreadsheet on Vivi's end though. It's just like Access if you've ever used it.

i was out of town a few days on a conference. Glad to come home and see the pot group buy has grown!

 

[thestrangebrew1]

[Svnla]

Each ticket is $2. So 700+ tix. So half the chances you've listed.

5 is what we capped it at.

Looks like a last hour burst ... got another 300$ or so in shares.
