dailykos.com had a thread up when Mega Million was worth 640 Million.
Dr Erich Bloodaxe RNFollow handled the post.
I will use his diary & make a couple of changes.
the rules
Buy your tickets before the cutoff for tonight's pick. Decide how many you want to put in the DK pool. Tell us the numbers for the tickets you're putting in the pool in a comment below before 10:30 EDT, half an hour before the draw. We should have a pretty good idea of how we'll do the split pretty quickly, based upon the poll, but we'll cut off the poll after 3 hours at 8pm EDT. If, at that point, you don't like the split and want to pull your tickets out of the pool, you've got 2.5 hours until the cutoff to withdraw some or all of your tickets from the pool via a comment. Many of us are buying multiple tix to throw in no matter what the split, but some folks are reluctant to throw in more tickets without it giving them a greater shot at more money.
In the event that we hit more than 100k or the jackpot on any ticket, keep your losing tickets. we will only split a winning 6 number ticket. Maybe the winer of that one million dollar 5 number ticket would give each player a 100 bucks! that is not required, I think I would do that though.We'll need everyone to mail them in to provide proof that you actually bought tickets to this particular lottery and that they match the numbers you put in via comments.
the split
First off, any ticket that doesn't hit either a prize above $100,000 or the jackpot is solely the winnings of the the person who bought it.Again we will only split a winning 6 number ticket We won't split any lesser prize among the pool. and if you bought it in someone else's name, it's on your conscience to make sure they get the cash, we're not going to police that, although you can certainly use this diary or previous ones as evidence if it goes to court :P
We will take the cash option
After all taxes, fees, etc, the winning ticketholder gets half, and then everyone else splits the rest evenly, no matter how many tickets they contributed.
1 ticket = or is the same as 2,5,10 ect by one kossack
