Since its near half a billion dollars...anyone on here wanna go in on tickets?

the more the merrier. I say everyone put in $10 and we split whatever we win by whoever is in the pool

any interest?

and yes i know its like throwing money away but...theres still a chance!

3/29/2012 6:03:02 PM

fuck your legal tender

3/29/2012 6:06:34 PM

would consider, send pm if it materializes

3/29/2012 6:11:08 PM

I would, if I knew I could trust you.

I went in a pool with myself. If we win, I split it 20 ways with myself.

3/29/2012 6:26:37 PM

I bet if I went in on the lottery pool with wdprice3, and I picked a lucky ticked, I would get Trayvon'd

3/29/2012 6:29:40 PM

^2 lollercoaster

Exactly what I was thinking - I'll be damned if I go into a lottery pool with random people on the interwebz

didn't we try this before and paypal shut it down?

3/29/2012 6:31:06 PM

Split the winnings, huh?

Sounds like a hell of a deal.

3/29/2012 6:31:48 PM

If I put my money in the mail today, when should I anticipate a return on investment?

3/29/2012 6:35:11 PM

I never buy lottery tickets, but this is worth throwing $10 at. Yes, I know the odds are astronomical.

3/29/2012 6:41:01 PM

I'm in for $10

The larger the pool the better, and when the pot gets huge sometimes you can have a positive expected value.

How are people going to pay you? Mail a 10 dollarbuck bill?

I think Paypal found the thread about the lottery and asking people to send the money via paypal

So yeah, they said to not do that again.

3/29/2012 6:47:08 PM

Don't waste your money I have the winning ticket in my wallet

If everyone is in Raleigh we would just meet up at some random gas station and go from there.

we could start a paypal account with someone on here that everyone knows...all up to you ppl.

Im in.

that looks to be at least 5 that are interested.

3/29/2012 7:16:27 PM

already bought my ticket

IT'S ALL I NEED

3/29/2012 7:42:58 PM

I plan on winning this one myself. And when I do, I will buy a lifetime premie membership.

3/29/2012 8:23:06 PM

if this pool actually won, you fuckers would go batshit crazy about how to split up the money, and eventually end up killing each other

there would be an epic "lottery won" thread followed by "a JT3bucky found hacked to pieces" thread

3/29/2012 8:29:48 PM

1. Need a written contract.
2. Each person signs said contract.
3. Each person gets a copy of said contract.
4. Each person gets a copy of each ticket purchased with pool money.
5. I'm armed, so don't fuck with my winnings.
6. Add in the contract that if a pool member wins with a personal ticket (i.e. non-pool ticket) then he/she will give pool members back, at a minimum, the amount they put in the pool... just to share a taste of the love.

if ANY of the numbers on the tickets the pool buys wins, we split up the winnings.

but I like the contracts ideas.

so theres like at least 7 of us now. $10 buy in.

PM me and lets get a legit talk going about this.

3/29/2012 9:32:10 PM

I'm down. how we doing this?

3/29/2012 9:34:33 PM

3/29/2012 10:56:57 PM

Pm sent

3/29/2012 11:15:02 PM

3/29/2012 11:18:48 PM

WINNING!

3/30/2012 9:54:09 AM

We did this before and its was a success, however, we didn't win. What we did was everyone sent the money to one person as a "gift" in paypal so paypal fees would not be taken out. Then one person bought the tickets and took clear pictures of each ticket with the numbers and emailed it to everyone involved.

3/30/2012 10:03:17 AM

^yeah, we bought like $100 worth of tickets or something and didnt win that much

I was trying to find the thread about it earlier and couldn't find it

3/30/2012 10:05:18 AM

if I won I would buy TWW from Ken and then ban BubbleBobble, fire EMCE, and upload meatspin on the mainpage.

3/30/2012 11:31:07 AM

Bought some scratch-offs along with my Mega-Millions tickets and won $50, so I'm in it for free, WOOT!

3/30/2012 12:13:20 PM

honestly...

It's hardly worth the effort for a $100 pool.

3/30/2012 12:47:02 PM

so you have to buy it today or something, no?

3/30/2012 2:13:59 PM

Yes, unless no one wins tonight. Then it just keeps going up.

3/30/2012 2:14:34 PM

If we win I would invest half of my share in glorious mutual funds and take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities.

3/30/2012 2:19:02 PM

If I won I would put it in the bank or whatever and go swimming in the Durham quarry for free.

then I'd prob get shot.

3/30/2012 2:26:01 PM

we have 10 if we really want to do this.

is everyone in raleigh?

3/30/2012 5:18:06 PM

we have 220 tickets in our office pool

3/30/2012 5:23:08 PM

hrm 215 people work in the ER ... if everyone put in for 10 tickets ... 2000 tickets


how many combinations are there theoretically again ?
