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

[Aharami]

You're partially right, someone is bound to whine, complain and threaten to file a lawsuit.

However they have an opportunity to buy multiple shares but they chose not to?

then just make it a $20 buy in. no tiered BS. takes a variable out and keeps things simple

not against this, but having a $10 AND $20 option is not all THAT bad.

 

[RossMAN]

then just make it a $20 buy in. no tiered BS. takes a variable out and keeps things simple

I'm torn between the two but the simplicity of your suggestion is appealing.

As jpeyton said "but you'll cast a wider net with a $10 minimum." which is absolutely true.

We're probably getting ahead of ourselves since there may be one or multiple winners.

Haha, sold in Baltimore. Someones buying up a load of crack.

 

[tmc]

well, someone is a [half] billionaire!

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Well we aren't all rich, but i am deeply amused by this whole thing.

 

[Svnla]

So if there is only 1 winner in Maryland, the state will take in almost $36M in tax (7.75% of $462M cash option).

Since there is a winner, let Vivi decides what to do with the $52. He could take the whole thing or give it to charity.

It was fun while it lasted. I will check the 6 tickets I bought on my own.

 

[ManBearPig]

i voted charity, followed up by vivi taking the money. i had a good time doing this...i'd probably participate in any subsequent ones if the buy in wasnt excessive. I thought it was pretty well set up.

If you guys wanna get really crazy, we could just limit it to people who have positive heatware or a certain amount of posts or something, but that isn't really necessary. i think each person should be able to just buy 1 share, it'd be a bit easier that way.

 

[ajtyeh]

i voted for charity

 

[Eli]

LOL, it pretty much seems like nobody knows what's going on. The "breaking news" misinformation reminds me of the 9/11 thread, as creepy as that is.

It's $50, I think Vivi should keep it for the legwork.

I'm in for $20 on the next big one.

 

[zinfamous]

just got back.

bummer.

looks like Omar is rolling in a big payday.

I vote for Vivi to take a payday. (this negates the vote I made earlier in the poll--because one could only vote on eoption).

 

[FM2n]

I won $3 !!!!!

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Haha, sold in Baltimore. Someones buying up a load of crack.

In view of this, Vivi just needs to keep the $52 as a reward for pulling all of this together. I don't see much need in another lottery pool until we have one that grows to at least $200 million or so.

 

[Sinsear]

It's $50, I think Vivi should keep it for the legwork.

Agreed

 

[sdifox]

our lottery winning doesn't get taxed...

 

[RavenSEAL]

I say charity, even though I didn't buy in

 

[Svnla]

Vivi - you can keep the $52. It was fun. Let do it again next time.

 

[Krazy4Real]

$52 worth of hookers and blow?

 

[boochi]

$52 worth of hookers and blow?

What does that get you? A handjob and a bump?

 

[mrrman]

I got 0.....2 major winners won by by selecting the quick pick option...must be nice

[SnipeMasterJ13]

I originally voted to just roll it into the next jackpot but since there were a couple winners I say Vivi keeps it for the legwork as well.

Last night was just the warm up (still fun!) for the next one when we actually win. Practice round...that's all it was. Getting us ready for the big time!
