April 6 Powerball Pool

[fencer]

So, if someone should hit the jackpot, they have to split it with whoever posts a photo of a ticket here?

Gas $2
Powerball tickets $12
Telling the wife we won the lottery but are splitting it with 30 fellow NES firearm enthusiasts = Priceless!

Posting the ticket implies transfer of ownership to the NES group, so yes.

Tomorrow I'm gonna buy a ticket with numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 and hope you or Broc picks a winner.

Kidding of course

If the lottery guys are running an honest game, 1,2,3,4,5,PB6 would be as likely to hit as anything else that's been posted.

After taxes? Nice

Before taxes. Presumably a lottery trust would be established, and you'd be on the hook for whatever taxes you owe, depending on your bracket.

Oh that's right, the power play. That's bullshit

My thought: that's fine provided you can produce the ticket to claim your share if someone else's ticket wins. That goes for EVERYBODY, actually.

Those payouts are exclusive of Power Play.

I would think a MassDOT worker would have a smart phone, so that he could play around with it during the work day.

If that's the case shouldn't the jackpot be double what you have shown?
