Vivi,

If you do this again I'll definitely throw a few $$$ into the collective pot.

Bummer it's around $1.8 million (take home after taxes) per winning ticket, not that I would decline that.

I have no qualms with doing it again, it was fun! What does everyone think of $10-$20 instead of $5? Or does that get out of a lot of ranges for people?

what should be done with the $52? dave's charity? I want to try to avoid the 'well I paid last week' but not this week, especially if we bump the price.

Same. I'm guessing you guys will throw the $52 in the next drawing if there is no winner tonight. If there is a winner tonight, I think Vivi should get the $52 for his hard work.

How about $5 minimum, but others can buy in more if they want.

And instead of 1 guy buying all the tickets, get 12 volunteers, and each take a birth month. January birthdays send your $5 to this guy, Feb to this guy, etc.

If you did all/majority of the work just keep it or roll it into the next pot

How about we put $10 for the next round and buy it in CA or place(s) with no state tax on lottery winning? -Vivi/volunteers have done a great job so far.

We have to plan ahead this time.

I think people want to be even about it, that way they get a equal %.


It actually was not hard at all to keep up with the $5 crowd.

hrmmm :confused:

For this next one, why don't we just put in the $52 by itself and it'll just be the same 122 folks who entered today?

I say we keep it to one person, spreading it out too much will get complicated
