You mean 1 dollar goes towards Vivi and 4 dollars goes toward two picks?
 
Geez; a lot of fucking complainers here. Seriously. Don't play if you're gonna whine; he set the price at $11. If that's breaking your bank, you shouldn't be playing.

Vivi = awesome. Thanks bro for the coordination and effort that you've put into it.

A legal size scanner would be sweet.
 
so how much did we win in Lotto4?
how about lotto 3.2?

yes, i'm in for lotto5.
and if lotto5 doesnt hit and someone wins powerball, there's still MegaMillions for Lotto6 😛

A)it seems like you're intimating that since I suggested we lower the buy in that I'm not thankful to vivi, which is simply not true.
B)how is lowering it to $5 bad? Vivi gets more money, whoever wants to go in for more gets more shares, and the barrier of entry is lower so more people will (possibly) enter.
C)it's not that I can't afford $11, it's that I hate gambling and I'm starting to feel like a junky lol.

Really, I don't give a crap what we do; I'm still in, but it's not like we can't fucking have a conversation, it's a forum for christsakes.

A junky?, were talking pizza money here. If you empty your 401K and head for Vegas, then your a junkie. If you raid your kids college fund and head for Vegas, your a junkie. I like playing in a large pool because at least the chances (though still remote) get much better, I'm sure as hell not gonna drop $1800 on a lotto game but even is we wound up winning and got around 100K each I'd be a happy camper!..

Compared to LOTTO 1 and 2, these last 2 were much larger, I think almost double the funds as those two individually.... and about the same amount of people too.
 
Wow we didn't win anything? I'm down to keep going until someone wins PB. MM sounds good too. I prob won't get in on another atot gb until they hit maybe $175 mil. Seems like a reasonable threshold for me personally. And thanks again Vivi!

If we do round 5, are we thinking of 50% MM and 50% PB? Or all into PB still?

I am leaning towards $11 shares still.

I vote $11/share for both.
Powerball 320mil
Megamil 170mil
We will go into the record books for winning both and rack up the whole 490mil kaboodle. Papa need a new yacht.

Also thanks Vivi for making me fall off the wagon after all those sessions of going to Lottery Anonymous.

Just to clarify, the only reason I suggested MM over PB is because tickets are 1 dollar as opposed to 2, also why i said we could do 5 dollar shares. I'm in either way we go.
 
Lets stick with powerball! Only because we have been playing PB. Maybe next time we will do MM. Also, you think he minimum should be $200 or 225 million or something?

stick w/powerball.
keep it simple.

if someone hits pb and it's not us, then switch for megamillions (assuming it's >$200M)
