And two good numbers per Chinese numerology. Excellent work Vivi
no I'm not Chinese and I don't understand the whole idea I just know 4 is bad 8 is good and numbers can make weird combination/accelerator or decelerator combos.

El Gordo is a geat lottery.
First off, thanks to Vivi for letting me sneak in at the last second! It was a scramble but I got it figured out!
My brother just married a girl from China. To elaborate on the numbers, apparently the Chinese pronunciation of 4 sounds similar to "die". I learned about this last weekend because he bought a house and she didn't find out about the address until later (they met online and he bought it before she got here/knew all the details).
Long story short, their house number is 4414, which is worse than 4444, because 1 sounds similar to "want". So basically 4414 = "die die want die". I found that pretty amusing.
Wherever your lotto trust is based or created it should be in a state with no income tax - like Texas. I sure hope Vivi does not live in NY or CA or you guys will get about .99 cents each after taxes.
I did not know that the numbers were pre-printed on each ticket.
...seems rife for fraud, no? I'm sure there is a decent system of checks, but that seems like the most exploitable feature in any type of lottery system.
So ah, did the new bride turn around and go back home?

Why? What makes the number any less safe?
I wonder if this would be a lucrative insurance policy for small businesses: "Protect your business against the lotto pool!"
Certainly guaranteed to never have to pay out more than 0.00001% of policy holders, but imagine the stress on some business owners if this does indeed happen?

It would be cheaper for the boss to just join in the lotto pool. It would only cost him what? Around $10 every time there is a high jackpot like this. Much cheaper than any insurance.

That's exactly why my boss never skips a lotto pool.

If it's an LLC, don't you just call it a business and dividend withdrawals--not income--and effectively avoid all taxes like your beloved 1% "small business saints" are already allowed to do?
How are the tickets being printed and who is controlling the tickets between buyer and seller?
Say the lotto agent receives some allotment of tickets from the lotto headquarters. I'm not sure how the drawing is determined (of course I assume it only happens on the day of the draw and is similarly random to other lottos?), but if you were interested, and capable, of fixing that draw, you already have the power to choose where your determined winning tickets go.
If you control distribution of pre-determined numbers, then one expects that you control where those numbers go. Either directly determining winners in a region (Hey mom, uncle, dad, steve, sally: Go buy x # of tickets at this gas station on Tuesday!) or greatly influence the odds of winning to a certain district.
I'm not saying it would be easy, but to me it seems to go from a double-blind level of confidence to a single-blind level.

Quite a few are crossing the border to buy tix. There is even a bakery here giving away ticket if you spend twenty at the bakery
Yeah, this might be the best idea yet, will let our lawyer figure it out!
A little tease before I scan them all:

Effing genius. Cost is $2 + regular labor + materials. Reward is free advertising on local channels, by word of mouth, and a minimum of $20 in sales per person coming by.
Man, you American lottery tickets are boring looking. Plain-ish white paper? The ones here are orangey.

Lulz someone broke their window today. Apparently people line up at the bakery...
