We are the fabulous 122 (AT LOTTO) - WE WON $52

[KaOTiK]

Thanks for doing this Vivi, it was cool. Thanks also to the ones who entered all the numbers in. If we do it again, I vote to keep it at $5 buy in still.

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

At least one ticket one, this is known.

Lottery officials say it'll be tomorrow morning before they know if anyone won.

And I voted to let Vivi have the $52. He did the legwork and deserves something for his effort.

 

[darkxshade]

I am feeling $20, do I start the thread?

I wouldn't until we know what the next jackpot is. You don't want people sending you $20 for a 14 million jackpot.

Agreed. Let Vivi get some much needed rest.

yeah, ew...I will check in the AM then before making the post.

 

[AmdEmAll]

I say make it $20 buy in and we need a limit to the people getting in, original 122 get priority.

Ditto

And so long as someone won this one it generally starts at $20mil...not sure if everyone will want to pool for such a small payout...Powerball is not too small right now if I remember right though

Why would you impose a limit?

More people + more $ = higher possibilities?

I agree with the $20 but $10 might have more mass appeal.

Well there has to be some kind of limit otherwise the returns aren't worth it.. $20 would lower the amount of people though so guess we'll have to see.

And the work for the person doing it goes up...

This is true, what is that break point? I think 200 some @ $20 will net us 4,000 tickets, and 1X million payout after taxes?

 

[jpeyton]

There should be no limit; the more people in the pool, the better our chances.

$20 minimum might limit our numbers. $10 minimum would have better reception; let people double their buy in and double their share of the prize if they choose.

No jackpot winners sold in CA, but 29 got 5 numbers right.

What do people think about that?

You pay $20, you have 2 'shares'?

 

[AmdEmAll]

I say 200 is good and has to be same $ from everyone otherwise there will be problems.

 

[goog40]

Edit: They recanted the story.

Sounds like a better idea. That way people who want to pay $20 have an incentive to do so, but you'll cast a wider net with a $10 minimum.

$10 or $20 should be the only options available; nothing smaller or larger. Otherwise things get too complicated.

Agreed and count me in for $10 x 2. Assuming of course that gives me two shares.

I say 200 is good and has to be same $ from everyone otherwise there will be problems.

How would there be problems?

Agreed.

News is reporting no winning tickets. $975 million jackpot on Tuesday. Gamboool!

No fucking way

 

[amdhunter]

$10 min, 20 max seems perfect.

Only 1x million? I can live with that.

My chances are better in a pool with 4,000+ tickets compared to $5 at my local grocery store.

 

[RossMAN]

No fucking way

That's about $325 million after taxes / 200 AT = $16,250,000

Oh hell yes.

 

[goog40]

No fucking way

We shoulda just bought all 175 million combinations. Pocket change for the Fab 122.

 

[OutHouse]

im in for 5, 10 15 or 20 for tues.

 

[amdhunter]

Looks like it's confirmed. NOBODY WON! $975 million on Tuesday.

Holy shit.
