I think it is somekind of scratch off game. Down here we have Texas and Louisiana scratch off games with all kind of punky names such as "All or Nothing", "Texas Two Steps", "Easy 5", "King's Gold", and so on.

if it's scratch offs, i hope it's $20 ones that have a $1M top prize.
$1 ones yield, what, $1000 top prize?

wait, i'm confused. we're not doing powerball anymore? how come?

 

[ManBearPig]

I think we are. The other group is using leftover money to get some other lottery bullshit.

yes for 5/11 drawing. see vivi's thread.

the $155 won on 5/8 drawing rolled into tonites Gopher5 drawing to differentiate it from Powerball.

update for thos who are still following the lotto3 results:
gopher5 won $20
vivi used the $20 to buy 10 powerball tix for 5/11
noone won 5/11 powerball

will update w/results to the 10tix that were bought when available

 

[JEDI]

nothing from the 10 powerball tix from 5/11

summary of 5/8 lotto group buy:
$1800 for powerball-> $155 for Gopher5-> $20 for Powerball-> $0


edit:
Hey Vivi, if noone wins the 5/13 Gopher5, wanna do a Gopher5 group buy for Weds 5/15?

anyone else interested in Gopher5?

It should be at least $1.6M if noone wins 5/13 and the odds of winning is 1 in 1.5million!
so we're actually ahead in odds. it should be +EV to play
