Everyone here is intimately fond of each other and have a trust that can't be found outside of the forum.

When's the last time you read a happy ending to a group buy-in on lotto tickets?

Example of bad ones? Honestly curious.

Win the Lottery then die from Covid-19.....life is cruel. 😱

Won the lottery, but died the next day.
Isn't it Ironic? Don't you think?

I've heard of a few going bad over the years. But for the most part seems to work out fine.

Some years back, the guy bought group tickets and said he bought some for himself. His hit, the group didn't so there were suspicions.

Don't you have to pay more in CA$ instead of the regular price of $10 USD? I think $1 USD = $1.27 CA$.

LOL @ all the old timers coming out of hiding in the wood. Nothing but sweet money would bring them back so fast.

I sent from amazon.com in USD.

Yeah, that might be sketchy, unless he can prove separate transactions or something. I don't buy any solo, so no problems there.

i dont particularly like that non-member friends of Anandtech can also participate.
that just invites trouble if we win a big prize

you also keep suggesting the jackpot-only option, which has been pointed out multiple times to be a terrible idea (we literally win nothing).

You'll likely win nothing with regular option too but at least you're not guaranteed to win nothing like the jackpot-only option. 😛

I don't want to join the group buy for privacy reason.

Square cash? I don't think I have that, I was using cashapp and venmo.

Jackpot is now officially $1 Billion USD (before taxes and if not taken as a whole lump sum).

$12M each, how can we retire on that?

Let me manage it! I could easily turn that $12M into $1M. No charge.

Ah, I have only used it when it was called cashapp. What changed? I seem to be getting a few people sending to it still, so must be working?

Don't worry, most of us already know far more about you than you'd prefer us to. 😀

you know what has to happen? Here's what has to happen if we win:

Everyone has to promise to contribute $500k to purchase property in Wyoming, build a giant warehouse/Scrooge McDuck tower and fill all 30k square feet of it with Lego Heads and Hermes scarves. Then seal it up, so that no one may ever enter it.

That's what we have to do.

 

[Krazy4Real]

That's the kind of nonsense I can get behind.
