OK I count along with myself, Festering Zit, Murph, MattyMat, and Mickj. The ticket would be 3 8 10 15 19. It is a extremely low number ticket but maybe obscurity could be an angle to approach this time around. Should we just quick pick the PB number? In regards to Murph's offer, let me read it over a few more times. Alot to digest there.

I think since there is 5 of us why not make the powerball 5?... we have a low ticket anyway.. may as well :D or the auto sounds good too....or all the letters in our usernames count as 1 and add them up.. hmmm and divide them by RX? 2

john boland = 10
Murphy8276 = 10
festeringZit = 12
MattyMatt = 9
mickj = 5
46 / 2 (RX) = 23
lol .. i have no idea

bout the out of state buy deal....
hahaha :):)

just to simplify.. whatever the lumpsum aftertax payout is lets do 75% the guy out of state and 25% the guy who buys the ticket in the state.

once again I can buy an ohio or mich ticket very easily.

forget the 50mill thing but I think it would end up there pretty close if there is one winner anyway after tax and lump sum amount.

If we play two tickets on the reverse location theory, and the ticket I buy in SC hits two numbers which does not get you in the money, but the ticket with power play you buy in Ohio hits 3 and the PB for say over $200 do we split the $200 plus or does the person in state just keep the cash? These kinds of examples worry me most. I am inclined to say yes go ahead tomorrow morning and buy an Ohio $3 Power Play Quick Pick and tomorrow morning I will buy a $3 Power Play Quick Pick and we can iron out details as cirmcumstances present themselves. Or buy one each an Ohio and Michigan $3 Power Play Quick Pick and I will buy two $3 Power Play Quicks Picks for a grand total of $6 each for our experiment. Your call.

My friend picked me up 50 tickets this morning on her way to CR.

If I win the jack pot, I will give everyone on the RX forum $50! No rollover.

I like the numerical username theory for the PB but if you divide 46/5 (number or entries) instead of 2 for RX then we have 9 and it truly a low number ticket. 5 or 9 is my vote but lets get imput from Zit, MattyMatt, and Mickj first and then we decide.

i was only meaning for the jackpot and didnt plan to buy the 1$ extra powerplay.. but sure if i hit for 1 million with all 5 white I would throw u something.

hmm the rest of the payouts for 100/etc complicate things quite a bit.. i think we should focus on jackpot or the 1 mill only.

thoughts?

I think we should powerplay for the extra dollar in the event of hitting 4 plus numbers with PB which will end up in some serious coin for us both. 5 white balls correct with PP is $2 million compared to $1 million without. Would hate to have some kind of freaky luck and be thinking damn I wished we whould have bought the multipler. I agree other examples do muddy the water so we will focus on the big prizes. The store I get tickets at usually will give me a quick pick with a decent set of numbers. I have gotten rotten quick picks at other stores but this one usually will have an even distrubution of numbers.

ok 3$ / 2 tickets - i will do the 75%*out of state* - 25%*in-state on the big jackpot prize and the 2 mill we split 50-50 (after tax/etc) and same with the 4 white 1 red = 40k (quadruple 10k with the powerplay) we would split 50-50

any other prize is kept by the ticket holder, not the out of state.

if u agree then I agree and I will get one Mich and One OH if that is the way u want it.

I will take 1 quick pick at any of the rotten stores and 1 from the decent one u like.. that way if rotten hits we dont miss out as honestly anything is possible.

seem fair enough? if so I am in :D

we can post the numbers on here as we get them tomorrow or whatever


as I stated before ur still in for the 1 mill if I happen to win on a diff ticket outside of these ones as I am loving how we have other stuff out there to root for and our deal on that was pretty cool anyway :)

here is to becoming millionaires together and hosting an RX Bash :toast:

Likewise if I hit Jackpot on one of my personal ticket(s), Murph will get $1 million on our Gentleman's Agreement. I agree to 75/25 out state in state on the grandaddy prize and 50/50 anything under $2 million. Agree to smaller prizes being kept by ticket holder for time trouble and legwork. Tomorrow morning if possible with your schedule before lunch you buy one each Ohio and Michigan $3 Power Play Quick Picks and I will buy two $3 Power Play Quick Picks. One from the usually good numbers store and one from the usually bad numbers store if that is the way you feel we should do it. The Quick Pick Ticket Numbers will be posted in this thread around lunch tomorrow. This way we have $12 invested and have 4 Power Play Tickets ready for action. 4 shots at the money trying the reverse location theory for just over $10 bucks. That is not bad from my chair. Think it over for a few moments and either confirm or deny with next post. Thank you.

confirmed and yes i believe for some reason that the ticket from that bad number store might be good .. and there is 425 million reasons why this time puff_>>

good luck buddy and I will probably have the tickets by 4pm est .. time pending with work scheduling and things tomorrow




btw i havent even bought 1 ticket at the Mich store so maybe this one ticket will be the only one we need, just like the one from your "bad number" store
here is to reverse location theory :toast:

Will do. One from the good and one from the bad. Maybe we can out snooker the lottery odds and we still have an extra chance with our community RX ticket.

seriously I hope there is a reason to make a story of the insane odds we pulled by going to stores we dont normally buy from :grandmais ...and the extra chances we already have and might have by draw time make this the most fun I ever had playing a lottery. <><>

Still open for input from Zit and MattyMatt for PB number on the community ticket. If I have not heard from them by the time I leave out in the morning, I will play 5 for the PB number. The ticket will be 3 8 10 15 19 PB 5 quite possibly the lowest numbers I have ever played.
