Now is our chance to get rich! For this Friday's drawing. This might be the biggest jackpot in history and estimated to be over $540 million. Any winnings totaling over $100 will be allocated per share based on the amount of money you "invest" in the pool. Any tax consequences are the responsibility of each individual winner. Tax consequences vary by state. http://www.megamillions.com/

Rules

* $1 = 1 share.
* Any winnings will be collected as lump sum cash option and not an annuity.
* You can put in as much or as little as you want in whole dollar amounts. (within reason)
* Checks are okay but if they bounce your shares will be invalidated and I'll hunt you down.
* Winnings less than $100 will be donated to Patrick.net instead of split into little pieces.
* Money received late by mail will be put in the 4/3/12 drawing.
* ALL numbers will be quick pick and ALL numbers will be posted on this page by 7:30pm Friday evening before the drawing begins.

* You're welcome to participate even if you think I suck.

Address:

Getting ready to collect the winning mega lotto. I just came back from Moffett Airfield. Hanger One is the most suitable place for me to store all the green papers. I don't trust banks.

   45   4:25pm Fri 30 Mar 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   Oh well. Odds favor 3-4 winners, so if we're stuck with only $150 million to share I guess we'll have to try and make do. BTW the coolest possible outcome would be the 6% chance of ZERO winners, almost guaranteeing the 4/4/12 jackpot will reach $1 billion.

There should be a total of 500 individual quick pick numbers. (a duplicate is extremely unlikely but I guess it's possible) Lottery Pool #1 Lottery Pool #2 I'm leaving the cutoff at 7:00pm pacific, but if you want to join (or add shares) please be prompt since it will make my last trip to 7-11 and scanning easier.

How about we give the small winnings to Patrick, and put the $150 into next week (same share schedule) OR we hold on to it and wait until the jackpot builds a little bit. Ideas?
