NES mega millions pool August 4 drawing

[nstassel]

In all seriousness I do not want to be in a pissing fight with anyone over the funds for a partial win. So my initial thought stands: if you win $1000 or more it gets divided among participants. If you do not agree prior to the drawing time delete your ticket and withdraw from the pool. Besides it's only funny if a bunch of libs are raging over us winning big money and buying machine guns and Barretts.

 

[AJK129]

How late do I have to grab a ticket today?

 

[67ray]

Does that mean 1000 after taxes, or before?

Before numbnuts

Just a note, folks, I sure wouldn't be posting pics that include the bar / QR codes.

The physical ticket is what is required and signed

22:59:59

 

[SpaceCritter]

Okay, who did we say was our resident legal-eagle on this? I want to PM some concerns.

 

[Toast]

For a big prize, not for a small one. Look, odds on any winners posted here will be the $200 and down prizes. Those don't need to be signed and can be cashed by a store on the bar codes alone. Yeah, you're getting ripped off for $10, but the state won't give a damn.

 

[PioneerHD]

Today is the last day any of us are gonna live like peasants.

Welcome to High Society NES!

 

[PioneerHD]

Unless we have a non green participant, I'd still like this to be moved to the members' forum.

Even $1K split up between a bunch of NESers would be funny lib trolling material.

Um, this actually hints at the basis of my concerns that I want to run past the legal-eagle.

You paying attention to who OP is?

I am OCD about a couple things, so I do get when something 'bugs' someone. However, IMHO we should not make this overcomplicated. Post a ticket and you are in. Win $1K or more via the ticket you posted then you split with everyone who is 'in'. Those who post electronic tickets may need to provide further proof they actually bought tickets if only cropped screen shots are showing in the thread- but that's easy to do.

If a large sum was won, I think cash option will be the simplest way to divide and therefore the best means to take the win. However, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth if the consensus is payments.

Anyone skeptical of the outcome has a simple solution- don't participate.

Even if we don't win (and probably won't) this thread presents entertainment well worth the $2 entry cost. I'm just thinking that I'll need a place to shoot my new mini gun.

Can we buy a no longer used mine and set up a end of the world living area

Or a nuke silo those are wild

You've got a limited number of options, pick one from the following:
1) Buy a ticket, post a pic of it here and enjoy the amusement
2) Buy a ticket
3) Don't buy a ticket

Option of derailing the amusement by nitpicking and playing what-if-and-i-wonder games isn't on the list. Either pony up or move on.

In, as long as you volunteer to search Reptile's bags before we seal the door.

His bags will be blasted by tanerite 100 yards away before admittance

 

[RumRunner]

hmm, what happens when you blast a bag full of tannerite with tannerite? Might need more than 100 yards

Okay, silly creatures:



To all to whom these presents shall come, greeting: know ye that I, having purchased one MegaMillions ticket for the drawing to be held on August 4, 2023 with numbers "4, 9, 11, 17, 39 Megaball 13" and no Megaplier option selected, and having done so exclusively with my own funds, do hereby transfer ownership of said ticket and all the rights and responsibilities thereto to the participants in the Northeast Shooters "NES mega millions pool August 4 drawing" in exchange for my participation, and my sole interest in said ticket is as an individual participant, and that this transfer shall pertain to this one ticket only and not to any other tickets in which I may individually or jointly have ownership.

Here's the worst case scenario. There are three winning tickets, one of which is in this pool and there are 50 of you by the end of tomorrow. Cash option currently $625M. Divide by 150 and that's just over $4M per person which after taxes is about $2.6M or so. You'd still need to work for a living if you're middle-aged, but life would certainly get easier!

I've always said on these, I'd just like to win enough to pay off the house and be clear of debt.

 

[Mesatchornug]

alright, you dragged me in.

 

[PaulR]

oh cool.
not too late, I thought this was last night.
I'm sure I'll forget to run out today to buy tix.

Life is amazingly different when you get there. It took us 15 years to wipe out student loans, credit cards and have two cars free and clear, and with two refies we have the house down under 200k at 2.5% We pay less than $5k/year in interest. So yeah, just being half way there allows us to actually afford nice vacations and save a bit for retirement. Before that we were one step away from trapping squirrels for dinner.

So just pointing out here, this is enough to get winnings tied up in litigation if even one member contested the partially scratched out numbers as being "submitted" and you said "no, only the top set of numbers". Sure, it would probably get defeated, but at what cost? Another example, if as a joke I posted a powerball ticket in here, and those numbers ended up matching the mega-millions winning numbers, some jackhole could sue me saying "because he screwed up and bought the wrong ticket, I now don't have millions of dollars". Me personally, if I bought in and this went shitways for about 5 years, but I was eventually handed any check for over $1M post-tax, I'd have to go bust one in the sink before I could get it together and take it to the bank, laughing all the way there and back. Any time you turn two bucks into the answer to your retirement, it's a VERY good day....

I was thinking the same thing the pool only works when you contribute like that usually people do like one to four tickets I’d rather do 20
But I always forget about the increase in price, so we never even discussed the megaplyer which I always get.
I’ve been playing a couple times a month on and off for about maybe a year… only once or twice a won my money back.

This wasn’t a very organized thought out thing it’s just for fun, but maybe we should set up a reoccurring one.

I would really hope that nobody on here would be a thief or a scumbag about this. People get really weird over money but it’s all of us can’t agree to split $1 billion. That’s pretty f***ed up.

Sketchy thing to do on a gun forum too.. or in general I guess

I think this simple set up works fine. Collecting $20 from a bunch of people then buying a massive amount of tickets could become a real cluster.
