jeepguy Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 hello every one ! had an exciting time watching the lotto numbers come up , I could n`t believe my eyes there were 8 or so pages { good job too every one } .... now the question : do we as a team , wish to buy power ball tickets only when the pot gets too the 100 million mark ? { the reason I ask is I don`t want this too get tiresome , and boring , it is exciting when the pot is large , and would be a big split other than the 40 million } I will wait for the reply . to carry on thanks every one ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsygirl11 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I would like to play with the group no matter what the amount. The more we play the better our odds are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxinjersey Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hi Jeep... I play regularly, but I do think the DV POOL should kick in around the 100 Million mark, otherwise it might get a bit tiresome. I'd like it to be more special as we all kick in at the higher number!

paperboy Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Ouch - all I can see is a logistical nightmare. Sorry fellows, but trying to split millions with people you don't even know? Wow, even friends that like/ each other can't work out the details without suing each other. Help me with how this would work? I'm wondering........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nannab Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 One hundred million sounds great Jeep. I don't normally play but this is a great idea. Thank you for bringing this into the group. The 100 million Club that's the ticket! When I did the office pool we had it so after taxes we would all march in together separate paperwork. When we won free tickets or up to $4 that would go for extra tickets and bought the same amount of tickets every week regardless Just a suggestion.

429 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Like nannab, I don't normally play powerball. But I'd be interested in a $100M club. But like paperboy said, splitting up millions between folks you only know as "429" or "jeepguy" could be a bit trying. Even keeping all the numbers straight would be hard enough. If we're going to play regularly, we'd have to have a system to lock threads and keep things on the up and up. There would need to be rules, too. Anyway, I'm in for a big payout pool. 429 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepguy Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I see where folks could be , really worried about one person with winning ticket , disappear , that would not be so good , the reason folks play is too make bills disappear , get bills paid off , and help others in need ... { not others as in thousands , but people you hear about that need a hand , that sort of good deed } so with that said , the idea is every one buy 1 or 2 or how ever we decide on , and post the numbers on the 100 million club thread ... { now I did notice that folks in some areas could not purchase tickets and another dinar vet member stepped up and made a buy for that person who wished to play but had no way of getting ticket other wise ! { a good friend to do this with out worrying about getting 2 or so dollars paid back } ... so what will happen is if someone in the 100 million club happens to hit , we all would go the dinar chats page , the next day , and start too figure out the next steps , where too go too cash in , and how too get too that area , and so -on ... even split 10 folks play on a 100 million it hits , take the lump sum and I think it will be around 5 too 7 million apiece , { not sure of this figure , just a number to show how it is split ... it might be 3 or 4 million , but that will be 3 or 4 million we didn`t have the day before } so too cap it off every one buys lotto tickets post the numbers on the thread , and wait for results .... thanks every one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog53 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 This is the way I see it. As long as the winner is willing to split the prize as he promised to do. How this is going to be handled is up to the ticket holder. The ticket holder makes the rules as to how everyone is going to get paid. As long as everyone does get paid I see no problem with this method. If a DV member is somehow not healthy enough to make the trip to collect their money they can send a delegate to pick it up. The only thing I see is how does one handle the taxes on something like this. Im sure Adam would have a idea as to how the taxes should be handled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

learning all i can Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I believe I like dogs idea with the ticket holder calling the shots in regards to where and when other players would meet to pick up $'s. Sure wouldn't want to start bossing that ticket holder around and give them second thoughts about sharing and holding up their part of the bargain. Ya know how we all get when we have the most and prettiest marble s (play by my rules, or I'll take MY marbles and go home). I realize that sounds pretty harsh but we also know that all of us are fallen human beings and we are subject to that kind of behavior......I would be interested in playing when the jackpot is large enough to truely make a nice little dent in each of our lives....of course for me that wouldn't take much but up to a 100 mil or more to share sounds great to me. If this little plan comes together, I AGREE to abide by rules and I AGREE to share among all dv'ers that have purchased a ticket. if in the event that I hold the winning ticket, I WILL NOT take my marbles and go home. Thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion and possibly entering into a fun and lucrative adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash101 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 We incorporate before collecting, then all taxes will be paid in advance then everyone playing at that time will split what's left (lump sum) unless you post more than 1 ticket and if you play 2 or more tickets then one should collect that many times. Example you play 3 tickets and post them with in the club then you should collect 3 shares as members playing. 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGlobe7 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 The money is awarded in the state the ticket was issued......taxes can be chosen to be taken out before the checks issued....the commission can then divide evenly and issue checks in the name of each winner.....I know when the american airlines workers won this is how it was handled. Checks can then be sent to each winner if they so choose. Easy peasy....the only worry is making sure everyone shares like they promised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To give equal opportunity to each player, I feel that it should be shared straight down the middle (equally) regardless of the # of tickets that one may contribute. Sorry I can't agree with ya but I just believe that greed will kill this little game. I personally could not and would not agree to those terms...I realize I'm not the rule and term maker but felt the need to express. Thank you I am Flash, not to be disrepectful but there are many of us here that probable cannot not and are not willing to purchase a multitude of tickets.

It would not be fair to be "paid" on losing tickets/entries. Multiple entries do not really increase the odds. If you submitted three, and ONE of yours happened to win... why would you get two extra shares for the other two losing tickets? By that logic, I could submit twenty... none winning... but have twenty shares if YOURS wins. Do you see what I mean? It has to simply be one share PER PERSON. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGlobe7 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 agree..list as many as you want but only one share 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxinjersey Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 agree..list as many as you want but only one share Agreed Snow! So really, why submit more than one? ONE should be the rule. Keep the others for yourself! It's just a fun pool... not a magical winning formula! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
