General

Was thinking the same as both lotteries are high rn, Now, while I don't wanna host again, I would contribute to a pool

I’d host it myself but I live in rural Montana and the closest retailer is 40 + minutes away.

I'm open to hosting with a few rules:

1) All prizes under 1x/person of entry will be reinvested if no jackpot is won in the drawing (you will not cash out anything except a minimum of 1x of the buy-in)
1a) We will privately vote via PM if no jackpot is won, BUT our group wins more than 1x per person
2) Equal buy-in only, $10/ea
3) Open only to US residents

I will close this 5pm central tomorrow, Wednesday, 7/18. If payments are not received by then, you will not be included. I will include a screenshot of our numbers after purchase. Tickets will be purchased in the Illinois Lottery app.

Feel free to send money now:

PPFF: jordandotkessler@gmail.com
VM: @Jordan-Kessler-9

Please send me a PM with your e-mail (PP) or VM name after you have sent. I will update this post with a list of who has expressed interest and paid tomorrow morning.

Let me know if you have questions or concerns!

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am in a few groups and have purchased tickets outside of this group. Disclosure of the tickets for this group buy is the transparency I am offering, please let me know if there are any additional concerns people have.

@SublimeFan in the past pools we had created a trade record to keep track. I would recommend the same here but ultimately it’s up to you.

Either way I’m in.

Yeah it looks like I can. Never heard of this app before. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey all! I'm going to close this down at 4:30 Central today (a half hour earlier) due to plans I have tonight. All it means is get in sooner if you want to! I will have all the ticket info shared before 5pm!

Thanks for looking into that for me, I figured this would be your solution if you wanted to host, but then I noticed SublimeFan was already doing it

I joined in just in time.

All - I've uploaded screenshots of the tickets to imgur: https://imgur.com/a/JTHvmCx

Please note, the last picture (the two lines) is the ticket I purchased myself and is NOT a part of the group buy. If somehow I win on that ticket, I will promise to make everyone on the group buy happy 🤗

EDIT: Additionally, these were all "quick picks", I put no influence on any of the number selections, including my personal tickets.

What’s everyone buying with our ~$100 million each once we win?

It's already over. 1 winning ticket was sold in California.

But, we still have Mega Millions

Happy to host for Mega if people want. If not, I will just roll the $16 winnings to that on behalf of the group.

@SublimeFan id be willing to go another round.

I'm game if we're doing it

I'll do another

Sounds good SF

Mega Millions post:

Same rules as listed in previous game post (#4)

Please pay by 5pm central on Friday, 7/21 to ensure entry! I will share tickets the same way as before, I do NOT have any individual tickets in this drawing, only playing in THIS group share (for transparency).

Entrants in Mega Millions:

1) SublimeFan
2) loztdogs
3) devans77
4) EclipseLion

Apologies all - I thought the drawing for the Mega was today, it's tomorrow. I'll keep this open until tomorrow night if there's interest!

Good luck yall.

If you win, buy a bunch of super neg man shirts LOL

She’s NOT ready

Should’ve followed the guide I read about showing up in a gorilla suit to verify your ticket

Sorry for the delay, here are the pictures for tonight's draw:

Not too bad for less buy in - we have a balance of $12. No jackpot hit on the Mega, jackpot is at $820 mil. Anyone up for another round?!

I missed the last one so if this happens I’m in.

Yes! I'll keep it rolling, send an offer if you're interested. I can get an "official" list going tomorrow - I'm running around like crazy today. For anyone interested, please see the rules previously posted in post #4

Done and done. Thank you for doing this.

Haven't had internet for a few days. Are we doing Mega Millions now?

Yes

Did it already happen? Gonna be honest, I don’t know anything about the lottery and what happens when.

The next drawing is the 25th I believe.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Alright, update post! Here is the list of who is in for Mega (Tuesday, 7/25):

1) SublimeFan
2) loztdogs
3) devans77
4) BucketofJustice
5) MrBean
6) Mattman2

I'm going to close this one down the evening of 7/25 - a bit later like 6-7 PM. Please reach out if you're interested!

Can I buy into this or just people from last round?

Mattman2 wrote:

Yes, you can buy in but everyone who has bought in before will have "units" for how many times they've bought in since we've continued to roll our winnings.

1 buy in = 1 unit
2 buy in = 2 unit

And so forth

Hi all - this is closed for tonight, here are our numbers:

Let's win some money!!

Boy wouldn’t it be nice.

Not a single hit on any line :(

EDIT: I will be on vacation through the weekend and cannot host the next one. Sorry all :(

@SublimeFan thanks for hosting, enjoy your vacation!
