I cannot remember the last time I played the lottery and this seems like an original way to do so.
5 shares sent.

I am guessing you are TBJ?

Seriously, everyone who did NOT put in their Languish name in the paypal payment should have 1 of their shares donated to charity or something if we win!

Years ago when the Massachusetts lottery was in its early years, I went in on an office pool with thirteen other fellow workers. And we actually won the prize! It was great! But back then the lottery we won used fewer numbers so there were more likely to be multiple winners. And that's what we had, thirteen other winning tickets. Fourteen winning tickets and fourteen on our winning ticket.

Our group won nearly three quarters of a million bucks and divided among the fourteen of us it came out to about 33k each, I think if we took a payout. A lot less than what we expected but it was still a lot of fun. A day or two later the company owner said he was really happy for us, but even more happy that there were a lot of winners, else he would have lost many of his programming staff.

We setup a trust and the lottery winnings went into that each year. One of the trustees would then send checks to all of us. It was about $2600 a year for 20 years.
That's neat. :)

I hope you guys win.  Your subsequent adventures would be interesting to read about.

You are still going to post here right?
I'm gonna come visit each and every one of you.

Wait, we need to properly plan this. If you try to visit me at the same time I try to visit you, it may not work that well. :D
I say we coordinate to visit everyone else.

we could exchange each our houses to travel cheaply.  Just because we'll be rich, doesn't mean we can't learn a thing or two from Mono's book! ;)
