Yes, I am in on the bet ... does it matter that I didn't buy a PB ticket?

But still, because the odds of a single winner is slim, I'm following Musky out of Dodge! Just not sure which mode of transport. Maybe I'll leave on a jet plane. :D

Straight to my own private island.......

Oh, I bought a few tickets, with the pocket chain that I had, I could win, but seriously doubt it, I have already retired once, now have went back as a consultant, so money really is not a big deal to me, but I would like to have enough at one time to pick up a G5 for buzzing around when I wanted without having to pay extra baggage fees, so it is worth a chance.

I figure after 1991 I already won the lottery, so something like this would just be fun to play with.

Ok aspeck be a gentleman....Proof of a purchasing a dated lottery ticket is required for the 150K deal.

I would wait a while to claim it. I think you have a year(wouldn't wait that long). Get my ducks in a row and be packed and leave the state when I go to collect. In WI they release your name if you win. And I believe you're pasted all over tv. Hence the quick exit out of dodge....:car:.....2016 Ford GT.... :eek::)

Sounds like a plan....except for the Ford....

Was getting gas today, and the dude in front of me asks to buy some Powerball tickets. The cashier asks if he wants to add PowerPlay (I guess; I don't buy tickets) which would increase his winnings by 2x if he won. He got the funniest look on his face and said to her, "Oh I think $900M will do me for a while." :D

Since your original post didnt specify BUYING a ticket only that I agree to share IF I win, the extremely unlikely to win nature of the lottery, plus it all violates the no transactions in the forum rule, I dont think it really needs a gentlemens agreement of any kind.

Facebook has numerous posts offering the 'opportunity' to send someone $25 to join their pool of lottery ticket purchases.

Is even 200 chances to have a 1 in 299+million a big jump in tipping the odds?

I 'know' a guy that just did that. ^^^ Living his dream.

Odd fella, but I follow his youtube posts.

Since you follow his posts, that makes you????? :lol: Maybe my friend would be Spalding...:biggrin1:

Not a Ford man either, but those GTs are nice. It's cheaper to buy one new because used ones cost a lot more..... An Enzo Ferrari would nice too....

Odd I suppose. ;) The Admiral would agree, but as she'd like to continue to convalese for another 3wks+, she wont. Ask her in March, yep, she'd agree. Completely :facepalm:

Man Baja, I like the way you think :becky:

Understated, almost sublime, definitely not too ostentatious in a make Donald Trump, his whole family and all of the UAE royal family jealous kinda way.

I guess Gentlemens agreement sounds too British. How about Put Up Or Shut Up...More American way..... And this is a limited deal, and I would loose more of the winnings If I happened to win against all odds.

In Michigan you have to give your name and have your picture taken per the rules for Mega Millions and Powerball.

Saw a picture of one winner who held the big check up high, you couldn't see his face.

Not a bad plan. I like the gt. I'd probably collect, pay all debt, and live my same life on my terms until I decided to be an evangelist or something like that.
