If you're in by yourself, absolutely.

But when you've increased your chances of winning by 5 or 10, depending on how many people enter, the better bet is on the bigger pot.
it's really not

Powerball is at $191 million x .66 = MM at $126 million.
cash value (which i assume is what we'd take because there's no reason to set up an actual trust to distribute winnings for decades) is 95.8MM and 124.7MM, which is 76%

That'd be a bummer! And that's why I was wishing for the draw this saturday. But I get it - it's too close to spread the word.

$10 sent just now.

Somehow I keep remembering the storyline in Bruce Almighty where he grants everybody their wish to win the lottery, and it comes to $17 per winner! It'd still be more than the $10 we put in...

I think people should wait til after the Sat drawing to pay in. Saves Vivi the headache of returning $$ if there is a winner.

Great idea, less hassle for everyone. Or if you're lazy and know you'll forget, pay now and if someone wins, Vivi will refund you.

Then they don't need/deserve the winnings anyway.
"Now where did I leave that $100K last night?"
"Another $100K, hell no I'm not making a trip to lottery office."

Me, I'd request ViVi to hold on to my money for the next time the pot grows big and we want to do this again, if he doesn't mind the hassle.

We are going to buy for the 5/8 drawing.

No one will win this sat, as we're going to win it wed, doi .

Refunding wouldn't take too long either...also if you bought it and do not want to wait for 5/8 as we did change this a little last minute, let me know and i'll refund you.
