S-B Powerball Pool - Jackpot Est 800mil

[Fish On]

3 50K winners? Odds of just 2 are 156.3 billion to 1 with 17 of us playing 51 tickets. Multiply that by 900 thousand to figure out odds of 3. Sorry my 28 digit calculator doesn't go that high. 1 jackpot winner is like 1000 times less likely.....seriously.

$1 million is worth the split. Leave it at jackpots and that. Keep it simple. Think of how many opinions there will be if one of the tickets actually wins something. We'll have enough trouble splitting the 90% without someone calling a lawyer and tying up the whole thing for years. Forget about the 10% that goes to fishing houses. Open that to any/all members for free and S-B.com will be bigger than facebook. Participants in the pool share the houses, elect a board with John chairman that manages it and makes it available to members (members as of 2015 50% off) at a VERY reasonable, slightly subsidized fee to cover upkeep along with the fisheries stuff, etc.

I love the idea of a team win. Let's keep it simple so lots of folks will jump on board!

One last suggestion.....lawyer fees to deal with any dissention come out of the 10%. This way we can likely get paid while the judge and lawyers figure out the rest :-)

Good luck all! Buy a ticket and dream. That's worth $2 in itself.

We'll figure it out

Others can come, we just need to figure out the ground rules first

No Jihadis would be a good start.
