Languish Powerball Pool!

[Berkut]

I think it would be fun to have a Languish Powerball pool. Currently projected at $1.5 billion for tomorrow nights drawing.

Standard office pool - everyone buys in, and winnings divided by the number of shares bought. We would take the cash payout option, I think that is projected around $800 million or something like that.

Only problem is how do we actually buy the tickets. I would be willing to buy tickets from funds sent to me via paypal, but that will (of course) require everyone to trust me not to run off with their cash.

Paypal would however provide a confirmable record of who actually participates, and I would buy the ticket however many we get ($2 per share), and post a pic of it say tomorrow night at 8pm EST or something like that.

We can all get uber rich together!

Fair disclosure: I've already bought ten tickets that are my families that WOULD NOT be part of the pool.

I would kick in for another five or ten for the pool, if we get a few people interested enough to actually send cash to buy tickets.

Just imagine what an awesome story it would be!

I'll kick in whatever the going rate is.  How much are these tickets anyways?

You'll have to give us your paypall info, and I would suggest posting a picture of the tickets.

It would be an awesome story, and an excuse for the ultimate languish meet.

Look how we each wasted X times $2.

I'm with m. Pass.

[DGuller]

I'm interested, but only if this pool consists of more people than just Berkut and myself.

[katmai]

pretty ignorant on paypal (never use it) otherwise i'd send a long few dollars.

already bought a few with family members back in PA.

[Tamas]

I am in!

[Razgovory]

Yeah, why not.  I'd hate my self the rest of you became rich and I didn't.  I do trust Berkut not to run off with 10 bucks.

Yeah Berkut strikes me as a straight down the line, trustworthy sort of guy.



Of course you could say we can all absolutely trust any of us to not run away with the winnings, because no one here will ever win it or any other significant jackpot. 

[Pedrito]

Hey Berk,

please explain how PayPal works and your info, I'm willing to bet 10 $.
Are we sure you're not the cousin thrice removed of the King of Nigeria?

[Grinning_Colossus]

I also wouldn't want to live in a world in which y'all are rich and I'm not, so I can throw in $10. PM me your Paypal info.

[Grey Fox]

I am in.

[Razgovory]

So does he just send us a PM or what?

[lustindarkness]

I will get The Boss in on this.
