Correct, New York. IIRC it basically comes down to I get the money, and I might buy each of you a new Miata or something. If I feel like it.

Hence the necessity of a parallel pool, to hire an enforcer.  :D

He is good at tracking down people who do not pay their debts.

Berkut may get away by cleverly distracting him with unopened boxes of board games, though.  :hmm:

I've heard that the 30 year option is a bad idea regardless, that if you take the lump sum and invest it, you can pay yourself the yearly amount you would get from the 30 year option forever.

Not sure if that is really true or not.

When I won with the group in work we created a Trust and chose to take the yearly payout for 20 years. The lottery winnings went into the Trust, a tax attorney did the taxes and paperwork, and a check plus the tax paperwork (to be filed with our yearly IRS taxes) were then distributed out to the Trust holders.

You won the lottery?  :showoff:

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

This lottery syndicate is certainly reinvigorating our membership, judging by the numbers who are viewing the board.

I figured I'd join, but PayPal says it can't complete my transfer "right now". :(

Read one of my previous posts on that. It was what could have been big bucks and I was in a group at work which would have been ok but still not a huge payout, but there were also many other winning tickets besides ours so we got a small payout of about $2600 a year for 20 years.

If Berkut can accept delayed payment I'm in for 3 shares.

If we win this & it leaks out on how we're from a internet forum, the server is going to get obliterated.

We could probably pay for a better server, should we want to.

Josephus, I suspect you are my remaining unknown, since you are the only who stated that they were kicking in that I haven't matched to a payment. Can you send me a PM confirming the name it came in under?

If you guys win Languish will die. Can Languish compete with gold diggers and blow? :(

I'm in, but I absolutely have to get some work done first (and assuming I can get paypal to work - I had issues last time).

Like work is more important than the upcoming languish drama and blood vendettas when we win it. :rolleyes:
