JR???

I think we set a minimum - I like Ross's idea with a small mod.

If Jackpot is NOT won, the lesser winning tickets (less than 50k) are reinvested in the pool until jackpot is won. But you must re-enter for each subsequent drawing to share in any subsequent winnings.

If jackpot IS won, ticket holder keeps any winnings (max would be 100.00)
Unless we want to roll it over into the megamillions which is currently around 165 million......

If under 100 and no jackpot, roll into new tickets for the new jackpot.

If any ticket wins over $100,000 we split. Under 100K after taxes and divvying up payout would not be worth it. 1 million would be worth divvying up. So between 101 and #99,999 it goes to the holder of the ticket - sound fair?

Prizes go from 100 to 50k to 1 million. That's why I proposed as I did.

Personally I think we have a situation that can become very confusing. Let's keep it simple on not make the lawyers rich. John original e-mail realy talks about jackpot types of things, house, non profits etc. Just split jackpots and leave the original ticket holder 100% of lower prizes. If no winners we all ante up again. If we get lucky and hit the jackpot we'll all get life changing money but not tens of mils. We'll have enough fun managing properties and who gets what dates and how is maint. paid etc. I say leave it at the jackpot level only.

Seems fair enough to me! So were up to $500 mil.

Odds from site
Match + Powerball Probability Top Prize
5 + 1 1 in 292,201,338.00* JACKPOT
5 1 in 11,688,053.52 $1,000,000
4 + 1 1 in 913,129.18 $50,000
4 1 in 36.525.16 $100
3 + 1 1 in 14,842.11 $100
3 1 in 579.76 $7
2 + 1 1 in 701.32 $7
1 + 1 1 in 91.97 $4
0 + 1 1 in 38.32 $4

* Overall odds are 1 in 24.8671
* Prizes based on a $2 wager.
* The jackpot will be divided evenly among winners.


If I counted right we have 17 in X3 numbers each which ups our overall odds to51 in 24.8671

I will also sweeten the deal. If I win the jackpot on my "non-pool" ticket I will personally buy the fishing houses for the site

Keep it simple. Split 500 million, (1st jackpot) or 1million(2nd jackpot) Holders get to keep any winnings of 50k or less. If no jackpot winner do it all again with 3 number entry, exact same process. This avoids dividing small $ and tracking and reinvesting winnings.

Got Stripes, Jenn and VB (Pete) had the Powerball. The rest of us suck.


JR, $675M on Sat. Start this over ????

[Justfishin']

I'm in for Saturday

[PaulS]

I'm in favor of the splitting anything over $100K. $100,000 or under, person who purchased ticket keeps the $ and buys us all a nice dinner.

We need more rules around who can come to our houses when we win the grand prize.

3 tickets = $6 (not 2 not 5 but THREE ) - name them "Striped-Bass.com" or "S-B PB Pool" & your username and take a photo. Post the photo on this thread here.

If we win, 85% is split among those that submitted a ticket photo. S-B gets 15% to purchase 2(+) fishing houses, one on Block, one on the canal, ( maybe more how about CR?) + site gets setup as a non-profit forevah - and we help fisheries stuff

Photos and tickets in by 8PM Wednesday.

Hey! If it ain't broke don't fix it,,, IMHO
