🏈 Who's playing the Powerball...winner comes from Cali ...

So am I correct that I should contact some billionaire and conspire to buy every ticket combination possible and still have millions to sit on after repayment of a loan? Anyone on here have excellent credit that will help test my theory?

See my post above. It is plausible but would take a concerted effort to organize, implement, and control, hence the otherwise ridiculous 1 million dollar allocation for operational and logistical support.

You better hope it don't split if you are going to make that kind of investment. That could be a lot of "guaranteed" money down the pipe.

Great reward requires great risk...

I have no idea how fast the machines at the store can spit out tickets but lets say one person could fill out and buy 10K tickets a day, that's 30K per person by the time Wednesday comes. You'll need over 7,000 people who you can trust to get all the combinations. And if you can find that many people in short order you'll need to pay them so they self police each other and don't take off with the winner. Even if you only gave each person $25K , that's a 175mil in employee costs, plus the 220 mil for all the tickets. Its not possible.

Someone would have to be able to create an automated lotto ticket picker. Someone out there has wasted time doing that, somewhere.

Ol' Gary really doesn't need the money.

Someone said there was a three hour wait at some TN border locales. Inconsistencies in local and state laws make it interesting in some markets (lottery, alcohol, fireworks, gambling, prostitution, etc.) when folks have to make a run for the border for the first "wet county" that provides the product or service they seek.

Just got back. Little convenient/package store was packed.

Well, it's at a point for you industrious types that you could guarantee a win with access to 350 million +/- in capital and an organized, competent labor force to fill out entry forms.

Cash payout is 806 million, which leaves roughly 483.6 million in after tax winnings. So, less the 350 seed money and call it a million dollar organization and labor effort, you'd have about 132.6 mill in after tax winnings just from the jackpot. Of course, you'd win all or split all the lesser prizes as well because you own literally every possible combination.

Crazy amount of money to even contemplate winning. To go from middle class Joe to half a billionaire over night is insane.

You need to hope that nobody else has the winning numbers too.

Covered in the Moltke-esque risk reward conversation. Venture capitalism requires high risk for the chance of high reward.

Folks, I am due to win this jackpot and I promise to be the finest philanthropist the world has ever known once I move to Monaco...

 

[rick4bama]

Winning ticket sold in California,,,,:shock:

 

[Tidestalker]

Does that mean it's taxed 50% more?

 

[BamaMD]

California....... AGAIN!!!!!!?????? :eyeroll: :computerdestroy:

 

[BamaFan334]

Damnit, the most f'ed up state in the country. Oh well, I wish them lots of happiness. Do some good with it, classy whores and grade A Columbian bam bam.

 

[rick4bama]

Also I read today two more winning tickets sold in Tenn. and Fla.

 

[AFF]

TN winner came forward.

Note he bought just one ticket

 

[rick4bama]

Hey, did you hear about the girl that started at GoMeFund on Facebook? Just because she uses her money to buy her tickets all her money too. This morning she had $800.00. That is what gets me she spent her money on lotto tickets, and now she got people helping her out.

 

[PurlJam]

Didn't hit squat on the power ball, but I hit 4 with the cash ball on the Tennessee cash for a grand total of $90.

And she's said that she's going to use the money to buy more tix. So who's the dumber of the two? She, who wasted all her money on this crap, or the schmucks who donated money?

A Powerball Reimbursement Go Fund Me Page Has Been Created

A Powerball Reimbursement Go Fund Me Page Has Been Created

A woman by the name of Cinnamon Nicole from Cordova, TN has raised a little more than $800 in seven hours via her Powerball Reimbursement Go Fund Me page.

Nicole alleges to have spent all of her money on purchasing tickets with the assumption she would win the $1.6 billion jackpot, but soon realized the winning tickets were sold in Los Angeles, Florida and Tennessee suburbs.

1 in 292.2 million, Nicole still decided to go big, and unfortunately now can’t go home because she allegedly doesn’t have any money.



Please help me and my family as we have exausted all of our funds. We spent all of our money on lottery tickets (expecting to win the 1.5 billion) and are now in dire need of cash. With your small donation of at least $1.00, a like and one share, I’m certain that we will be able to pick ourselves up from the trenches of this lost and spend another fortune trying to hit it big again! PLEASE, won’t you help a family in need. DONATE NOW.



For your charitable donations, Nicole promises to make you her #MCM or #WCW. Yet, despite the gall of the Go Fund Me Page, some users simply weren’t in support of her attempts.

Sonya Hagans quoted new viral internet star, Michelle Dobyne and wrote “Not tuhday” while Kenyatta Gibson was a bit more spirited in her response.

“Guuuuuuuuuuurl…….I ‘SWEATERGAAAAAWD’ if I see one person give you one rusty copper penny I will spend ten times what you spent on lottery tickets on PLANE tickets to fly to their humble abode so spoiled in riches that they can afford to make it rain on Sweet Brown like ratchet humans such as you who choose to spend their cash on Remy, Flaming Hot Cheetos, VOSS Water and Powerball , and commence to kicking every single one of their asses!!!”
