I'll go in for $10, plus a few coins for Vivi who spent so much time doing this and the previous ones. You should do the same.

Thanks Vivi, you have two payments from me, one for $10 and one with a couple of bucks to cover the cc fees that I didn't add to the first.
Thanks, helps subsidizes those who forget to add 3% with their CC!
Absolutely nothing against Vivimage, I participated in this twice and he's been amazing.
But you guys know that it would be an absolute legal hell if we won, right?
So so so many ways it could go wrong. Not even from the Vivi, but participants as well as people that didn't participate.
what are the legal implications from those that didn't participate? makes no sense. It's not like this is Norway where you probably could claim some sort of social service stipend for "missing out" on some non-associated random people winning the lotto and you didn't...
as it is--I think people should stop posting here about it like the last dozen or so confirmations.
This isn't an ATOT thing and is offsite, so yeah--there could be legal issues with AT, which is why it isn't AT. Posting more than ViVi's initial announcement should be verboten, imo.
So you say....:sneaky:I don't think there's a legal issue for those not participating (that doesn't make any sense) but from the legal stuff I've read up on online pools they don't seem to be very kosher. At the worst nothing that is done online counts as a contract, and if whoever won ran off with the money there's nothing we can do about it... because it's their ticket.

NP, used the list from AT LOTTO 6, which was like 2014 or so, but we had like 110 participants.
It's 2016. There are these things called computers, scanners, and optical character recognition. Self-feeding scanner, beep when it's a winner (else send the winning ticket to a different bin).How do you even find the right ticket in a pile of 5 million?
Even then it doesn't work really.
Tickets are $2 each I think (never played, so not sure but that's what I have been told). It would cost around 584 million to buy every combination. According to the Powerball site, the cash payout on 1.3 billion is right around 800 million. Take 50% for taxes leaves you just over 400 million left. You would have lost over 100 million when all is said and done.
Perhaps taking the yearly payouts would result in a net gain.

Incidentally, if you purchase EVERY possible combination, in addition to winning the jackpot, you're guaranteed to win nearly $93,469,000 from your other non jackpot tickets. 11.75 million of your tickets will win at least something.

For over a billion dollars there isn't anywhere that he could hide from ATOT so I wouldn't be too concerned. A smaller winning and he could probably slip under the radar but if he posts the numbers online beforehand even that would be hard.
Didn't think of this but good idea.I'll go in for $10, plus a few coins for Vivi who spent so much time doing this and the previous ones. You should do the same.
