.info Powerball Pool: 2007-08-22 Edition [$245M]
« on: August 21, 2007, 10:35:28 am »
Much to my surprise, on my way home from work yesterday, I noticed that Powerball\'s up to $245M. Time to get another pool going.

davepeck\'s thebreakfast.info Powerball Pool for Wednesday August 22, 2007 drawing.

Cost:
[INDENT]$5.00 per share. You MAY purchase more than one share.[/INDENT]

Payment info:
[INDENT]Cash (preferably BEFORE the drawing) or Paypal (request an invoice FIRST, and do not mention Powerball, Lottery, Gambling, etc.). If paying by PayPal add 50 cents per $5 to cover fees.[/INDENT]

Purchase info:
[INDENT]All payments must be received by 4:00pm EST Wednesday. I will purchase computer quick picks Wednesday evening on my way home from work. I will post all ticket numbers to all players in a mass Private Message after the last batch is purchased on Wednesday.[/INDENT]

If we win:
[INDENT] If one of the tickets wins the jackpot, all players who payed for the pool will be required to meet in Connecticut on a select date and time to be determined so we can claim our prize as a group; a lawyer will be contacted prior to public announcement. The payout will be a LUMP SUM payment.[/INDENT]

Other prizes:
[INDENT]Note that tickets will not include the $1 extra for Power Play. Please visit http://ctlottery.org/powerball.htm#POWERBALL for payout table for non-jackpot winning tickets. Non-jackpot prize amounts up to $100 will be reinvested in the following drawing, regardless of the size of the jackpot. Non-jackpot prize amounts over $100 will be split evenly (after taxes, if applicable) between the players.[/INDENT]

To play, contact me through .info PM, AIM - mkdevo, or email - dave@thebreakfast.info.

The names below will be updated with confirmed (as in I have them written down and are on my list) people. If you have tried to contact me and do not see your name on the list as the deadline approaches, CALL ME! Make sure you leave a message with your name and number, I screen my calls.

Quote
When the Jackpot is $200M, a player\'s winning expectation is -14% if no one else is playing. This is the best scenario for the player because the winning will not be diluted in sharing. The expectation of -14% means that the player will lose about 14 cents on a $1 ticket, on average. The player will lose more in reality because others are also playing.

The player\'s expectation gets better when the jackpot becomes higher. If the jackpot is $400M, a player\'s winning expectation becomes 54% before tax. If the jackpot is $30M, a player\'s winning expectation becomes -72%. The break even point is for the jackpot to be $242M, in which case the player loses no more than the tax paid. All these numbers are based on the best scenario in which no other plays is diluting the winning.

So funny, I was just thinking we should start this up again because I noticed the jackpot was up really high again.  Put me down for one share, corifive@comcast.net
Thanks!
