PowerBall

Post by **GORDON** » Mon Aug 27, 2007 8:58 pm

15 Powerball tickets purchased with no Kicker, $250MM pretax to be split evenly between Catt, Leisher, and GORDON.

I'm not sure how I'll be able to live on only approx $1.26 million a year.

We won 2 things: jack, and shit.

I haven't seen if anyone won the jackpot , yet. If it's still big, we trying again?

Post by **TheCatt** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 6:55 am

Oh, sure. $325million, $191million instant payout.

Post by **Leisher** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 8:08 am

Put me in for another $5 for the $325.

And this time, don't buy losing tickets.

So Catt and Leisher and me are in.

Everyone else should get in too... since we lost last time, now we're due to win this time.

Ah, the simplest con games are still the most effective. Whoever thought up the notion of a lottery was a fucking genius.

Buying tickets this afternoon. Last chance to get in on the big win. I don't want to hear a bunch of whining when we win and you don't.

Male of course.

If we win, I'm sending you a TPR-strip-o-gram.

What time is the drawing? I don't want to be late and miss the opportunity to pay Paul and TPR to make out with each other.

On the internet.

And primetime TV.

I don't know. I think it's either 10 or 11pm.

Post by **GORDON** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 12:06 pm

Ah, ok. I'll be hitting it by 6 at the latest.

I'd recommend TPR and Paul buy some Big Red, as not to offend.

15 numbers purchased, no kicker.

$330 million, "$194 million lump sum payout," I assume after taxes.

Post by **TheCatt** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 6:26 pm

$194 is pre-tax, present value. So it's more like $115 million.

Post by **GORDON** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 7:20 pm

Shit. Still, I'd rather have lump sum so I can build my underground fortress before the zombies show up. The state owing you another 15 years of lotto payments wont mean much after the zombies show up.

Post by **TheCatt** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 8:46 pm

26 years is their payment schedule.

Post by **GORDON** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 8:53 pm

Yeah. I meant like being paid for 9 years, and then BAM fucking zombies.

The mega millions website islocked up. Can't get the winning numbers.

That is, I can't get in to see which set of our 15 were the winning numbers.

Post by **GORDON** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 11:07 pm

All right, we won $2.

I don't know yet if anyone won the jackpot.

How do y'all want me to roll over the money. Just put down two bucks, or do another round of $5 plus our $2 winner?

$2 should be enough to get the TPR-strip-o-gram.

Someone did win. Maybe we throw the $2 towards the next big one.

Post by **GORDON** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 9:07 am

Just remind me at the time. I'll cash it in with my personal $10 winner....
