You guys are real dreamers, but I like that about you, but I can only see this as a logistical nightmare. I'll buy my usual two quick picks, but should I win, I'm buying into a really exclusive golf course to play and rub elbows with some PGS pros and probably a state of the art 100 ft boat, complete with captain, crew and chef. The boat will be sailing to my next fishing excursion of choice and it won't be to catch stripers.

I subscribe to the Banzai Pipeline theory... You can't catch the wave standing on the beach. Pools have been very successful in winning big pots, so this is my one pool I play.

Hey, it triples/quadruples our chances from 1 in 10 million to 3 or 4 in 10 million 
It is a Tax on the poor but it is also the extent of my gambling |

I’m generally the most pessimistic mofo around.
However it would be “ par for the course “ to have this micro pool hit and me not be involved after all these years.
Just the price of a beer in a pub.
Besides, if we were to hit, us few would live like Billy Ray Valentine for the rest of our lives !!

May fortune favor the foolish....

Now there is a pool, the CEO of the restaurant chain Raising Cain, which I’ve never heard of, purchased one ticket for every employee to split equally. Cost him $100,000 for all.

I've heard it described as the "stupid tax", the only tax that people actually stand in line to pay. |
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

I've heard that too, less the standing in line part.
