We should do a CUF Megamillions pool

[Mormon Red Death]

I'd like to purchase an NBA basketball team, so who can buy a ticket for me? Why can't you buy online?

you might be able to buy online from Illinois.

127 people -- how much total $ was contributed?

We decided to make it so everyone was equal to each other in the pool, so we had each person pitch in $2. So we've got 254 tickets.

I entered a work pool, and a co-worker (a really securities lawyer, mind you) says with a serious tone, "If we win, we should buy the company." I don't know if he was being funny in a deadpan sort of way, but he seemed serious. Being the newbie, I kept my mouth shut, and refused to be the one to remind him that our market cap hovers around $40 Billion.

I'll tell you what it looked like when I buy my ticket. If I win I'm going to throw the best tailgate party for CUF BYU has ever seen.

with mild drinks made of barley.

Might as well because with that kind of coin in my pocket I can see my life spiraling down into a real mess.

If no one wins tonight, I might take a loan out for $175 million and take every combination possible. Even if the $1B is split 3 ways, I'd still come out ahead, assuming cougjunkie can get me a low rate.

I thought about that too, but then there's the impossible task of filling out those cards with the 175 million combinations.

can't you do 175 million quick picks?

[creekster]

but they wont all be unique.

[scottie]

Exactly, quick picks wouldn't get you to the 175 million different combinations.

If it were possible a lot more than 3 people would do it.

I spent $5 today. First time I have ever played the lottery.

Our $254 pool won $180.

What are you going to do with your share?

We had a rule stating that all winnings under $254 would be donated to the food bank.
