I haven't used Paypal in years but just logged into my old account with $0.

Transferring fund from checking takes 2-3 days. If there a way to insta-send money via credit card use through PP?

I don't think you should cut it off. Keep letting people in. More tickets = more chances to win.

Only reason I suggested an early cutoff wasn't to be greedy, but rather for logistics sake. I'm hearing a lot of chatter about lotto outlets being HAMMERED with multiple-hour lines for tickets.

Granted, this may vary by locality (like for me, people have to drive up to TN to get tickets, so there's one shop right over the border on the parkway that's going to handle ALL of Huntsville's lotto-buyers). But for Vivi's sake and ours, I'd like to make sure that we get at least SOME tickets.

Did it off my debit card. Asked for it after I started the send process.

Add a credit card to your account, but use the checking account to send the money. That way, the payment is received instantly, but there shouldnt be a fee if you marked it as a gift.

Sending payment, even from a bank account funded source SHOULD be instant. Just SEND a payment, don't try to move funds into your account first.

Yeah you can do that, but add $.45 so that vivi receives $5.

I'll buy bulk beef from one of those cattle that get massaged everyday. Mmmmmmmm. Nice and tender.
I imagine with $5M you could get them to cut it alternator shaped.

Or two chicks at the same time.

Or both at once if your into that kind of thing, I don't judge.

You can still send a $5 gift via instant transfer and not incur the fees. So the extra .45 shouldn't be needed if done properly.

I think for instant cc payments you incur extra fees. IIRC, It is free if you do instant transfer using bank account.

6.4 million per person before taxes... Not too shabby though after taxes on lump sum, I don't think I'd quit my job now... well not yet.

for 6 mill im gone. i would feel guilty for taking a job that somebody needs, and I would not be tht motivated to work becuae my ass will be on a beach looking at hot babes playing volleyball. plus would be awkward at work, people will give you that look. "asshole you are a millionare, why are you here and i hate looking at you."

5MM is not retirement money, it's H&B money.
