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:

The form makes a pretty spreadsheet for me to see...that is what we are referring to.

I might have to get my GF to help me scan all these this time..., going to be double/triple the tickets!

so how much money are we donating to the stupid tax overall? 1k?

We're at around 1500$ in shares/tickets. I will do a final tally once I close it up in an hour.

you guys must throw a bulk beef party if you guys win
Are you that rarity - the one that posts here but refrains from buying a share? You must have nerves of steel, man! :thumbsup:

I'd never live it down if I did not jump in and this group got lucky!

I hope I don't feel stupid for not buying more shares later =P

lol that is why i bought 2 shares instead of 1. my thought process went like this...

"i have never played the lottery in my life, but if i keep seeing this group buy and it actually did hit, i will be kicking myself in the ass for not sparing $10 to gamble on it. i know the odds are still terrible, but the odds are going to be #num-of-entries-times better than what it would be if i just put in $10 myself. and if im gonna put $10, might as well put $20 and double what i would get had i put in anything."

Lol I had a similar thought process after I read a story where 3 out of 17 coworkers at a place didn't put into a pot and the other guys won and all quit.

But I only put in $10 :)

Dang you guys are baller, I'm concerned I'm tossing away $10.

One share will solve all my <money> problems if it hits, that's the way I look at it.

I'll pack lunch for two days and make up for it.. LOL
