S-B Powerball Pool
A nod to Ross
How about a S-B Powerball pool?
5 tickets = $10 - name them and take a photo?
If we win, S-B gets 15% to purchase 2 fishing houses, one on Block, on on the canal? Rest gets shared by participants of the pool?

Current estimated jackpot: 500 MILLION dollars
Sounds fair?
OK - if so:
Between now and 8pm eastern time tomorrow - Wednesday - purchase 5 numbers ($10 - each ticket is now $2 - inflation) and put:
S-B Powerball Username 11-28-2012 Drawing on the top
Then take a legible picture / scan and post it in this thread

You know what Canal Front and Block Island goes for these days? I was thinking it wasn't enough
500 mil -> 300 mil one time pay out -> 150 or so after taxes -> leave about 20 million - purchase 2-3 (maybe one on Cutty?) places plus setup the trust to keep in perpetuity - of course we'll need a boat AND Golf Cart insurance

I'm in and headed out to get 5 tickets. Just a note, we need to get one of our resident lawyers involved should we win. We will need to make sure we address the tax implications, the property titles and , most importantly, indemnifications.
John, you may need to set up an S corp or some other entity.
One other thing: What happens if we win a lesser prize? I vote the same rules apply. 15% to S-b and the rest get split. Even if we won $1M, it's a big chunk of dough

No boat, back in the suds.

I would also vote for at least a half dozen of those "side by side" offroad vehicle things to be purchased and left for our use at Cutty!

However, if the grand prize is not won, any winners go into a rollover pool until jackpot is won.
I'm in.

That might be too much a pain to chase down - easier me thinks to do over 10K we split, under people keep

Please God, before I sneak in, let me get a chance to fish for big rooster fish. Topwater with my bare feet in the warm Cabo sands.
