If we're not doing any new buyins and just letting the remaining tickets play out for the original players, plus using any minor winnings for a couple more shots, there shouldn't be any issues in my view.

That makes sense to me.

Since it seems like we get a lottery drawing of > $400 million a few times a year at the absolute minimum, personally I think the money should be held over and spent when the drawing is higher again.

Just my thought on it. Id rather you do that than spend it on $15 million lotteries. Not really concerned either way.

some of he tickets were already bought as numbers for 10 draws (so the next 9 draws), so that is a done deal.

It was a mistake from the clerk.

Thanks for the advice. What do you suggest that would be fair and equitable to all parties? In the past Vivi bought extra lotto tickets, maybe I'll do that?

Seriously? I we've won chump change right? We agreed to tip you guys minor winnings, so let's just do that.

Alternatively buy a few more tickets for the next round on the same with no buy-in of anyone else.
 
so, what's going on here with the 10x buy-in tickets? Are we still checking those?


I'm not sure which ones were purchased for extra draws...it wasn't all of them, right?

I think like 4 tickets were? Rossman emailed me the last batch, he'll check. I can keep sending them out of people want, or throw them on the blog site?

Correct I'll have an update tonight regarding yesterday's drawing and the outstanding tickets. We still have about 8 draws left so this is going to drag on for another few weeks. Of course it won't be such a drag if we win $$$ but there's a better chance of CasioTech gracing the cover of GQ but we'll take our chances.

IMO all future discussion should go on Vivi's blog, so if you're looking for updates they'll be posted there.

right on. FWIW, I did check the blog but didn't see any info, and didn't know which tickets on the spreadsheet were the multi-draws. Was going to post there, but wasn't sure if anyone would be home.

Nobody's home here either, doesn't stop us from posting😛
 
About time New Jersey, New York or Florida didn't win the damn thing. And in all places North Dakota. Used to live in ND when I was young and still have family that live there.

suggestion:
at the end of the multi-draws, spend any cumulative winnings on the next mega millions

I had already planned on doing that, unless the winnings were substantial. If that happened, I would ask Vivi to email everyone to buy a tux and check their local Craigslist casual encounters section. Err I mean the update would be posted in the blog 😉

Where's the Bernie Sanders connection here?

That's Al Franken playing Stuart Smalley.

I am confused by your confusion... I'm saying that as liberal as I am I couldn't stand the idea of this puff-brain being my senator. Not just because of his Guy Smiley act, but also because I read his book and it was bad on every level except for premise.
 
I'm certainly confused. You just randomly quoted a post that had nothing to do with politics and start talking about politics. What's going on here?
