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

[jpeyton]

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.

Ditto.

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.

Do you have that much in the bank to cover it? I think it's going to be a LOT more interest if you try this again with a bigger jackpot.

I'm in for $20. We might actually have a chance. Even if we don't win the big one, who knows we might get the $250k.

My vote doesn't count since I didn't participate but I think the majority vote should get an opportunity to vote. I'd say either roll it into the next pot or donate to charity.

I say that if nobody won, we leave that $52 in the pot for the next one, and really give this next one a go. If we won, we would go down in internet lore as the forum group that won the big fish.

Think Big!

Only downside is that you're open for a huge lawsuit if the sidepool wins a billion jackpot and those who weren't in it on the main pool aren't pleased.

yeah, i have a feeling thats going to get things mucked up a bit. 52 dollars to vivi or to charity. just my opinion.

 

[amdhunter]

Ditto.

I don't mind this either.

hrmmmmmm, you sir are right.

yes, haha, I could probably pull UP TO 8k.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

vivi should keep it for his efforts. spread it out to his helpers if he wants. and organize this again next time

 

[IndyColtsFan]

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 should just roll it into the next pool, if there is one. I'm OK donating my $0.50 share of the winnings to the cause and two separate pools is too much to track and too much liability.

Or, this. I see no problem with that either.

Hehe wouldn't it suck if next week, the last "lucky 122" WON and the new suckers (me) who forked over $10-$20 got squat?

I agree, $10-$20 would be a sweet spot IMO...even if we get half the numbers today, payout bigger, MORE tickets.

I will do a survey monkey and email everyone on what to do.

opt1 : charity it
opt2 : roll it into a side pool (122 people in the original get it)

any other options?

 

[Away]

Vivi should decide what to do with the money, he could keep it or contribute it to the next pool for a bonus 52 tickets in my opinion. $10 buy in sounds good to me so I'm in.

 

[Krazy4Real]

Get written consent from everyone that they give up their share of the winnings, then roll it up to the next one.

 

[OutHouse]

if nobody wins im down for 10-20 bucks for tuesday.

[Krazy4Real]

nevermind... they fixed it.http://www.megamillions.com/numbers/default.asp

 

[Rage187]

I had 8 tickets and only match the mega ball on one. Oh well, -75% return which was better than my 401k in 2009.

for $52? I think that is a bit of work!

if you do a side pool, then you better specify which tickets are for that and which tickets are for the new pool.

don't want you to find a winning ticket on the new pool and say it was bought with the old pool.

 

[ViviTheMage]

vivi... are you sure about the winning numbers? The numbers on the megamillions page says 2 4 9 19 23 34

[BrokenVisage]

I don't know about the rest of these clowns, but I expect my hard-earned 42 cent share deposited back into my PP account. lol naa, I say Vivi keeps it all.

Those are from Tuesday's drawing.

 

[MetalMat]

Dude Vivi is going through alot of work for this, we gotta hook him up somehow right?

I have them all separated nicely, and everyone's names/emails set for group 1.
