Reason #5,110 to hate lottery winners

OK, so how about this?

The winner will kick in 1% of their winnings, to be divided among all participants, with each participant getting a single share of the winnings per number of tickets purchased.

In order to get your cut, you MUST:

1. Commit to participation before the drawing at 11pm EST tonight, and
2. Prove you actually had tickets purchased.

I bought 5.

Winning is only defined as matching all numbers.

I'm in.  I bought 10.

[Berkut]

Lets define 1% of winnings as 1% of actual net winnings before taxes, assuming you take the buyout option.

Damn, this is a lot harder to define than I thought...

Winner pays for the lawyer to figure all this out.

lol

Ten fucking tickets, and nothing?  What a joke.

[Berkut]

I did not get a single number right. Not one.

As pissed off as I was an hour ago when I realized I forgot to get my tickets, it probably didn't reduce my chances all that much.

[Admiral Yi]

I matched one number!

[katmai]

no one got all the numbers.

The estimated jackpot on Wednesday will be $1.3 billion, according to the official Powerball site, which would be worth $806 million if a single winner chose to take the windfall as a cash lump sum rather than over time as annuity payments.

I'm shocked that the accountant couldn't figure out the right numbers.

What do they say about a fool and his money?

I was too busy playing Black Ops 3 to check last night. No party pirate ship . It was nice to dream for a couple of days.

Nate Silver said it was 73% that someone would win.
