Pool Wins $27: Jackpot Reset

We won $27 this Wednesday night matching the Powerball only on 3 different number sets. The draw was way out of whack with the sum of the first five being a super low 50 – the lowest sum for the entire year. But the spreadsheet did predict a majority even/odd ratio of 3/2 and correctly picked the number 8 among the white balls twelve times even though it was the only ball in the past 20 draws to be picked 5 times among those draws.

The $27 will go back into the pot to buy more number picks in the future. Someone in North Carolina got all six numbers right - so the jackpot is reset to $15 million.

The good news is that we still have one “free ride” left from the proceeds of our fall break big win. Watch this space for updates.

No Jackpot Winners in Saturday Drawing...Our Turn!

We had no winning number sets for the Nov. 22nd drawing. The closest was matching two of the first five - which in this game means nada! We also blanked on the powerball as well - which was too bad because the multipler was 5.

No jackpot winners posted for the Saturday, Nov.25th drawing so the pool is in for this upcoming Wednesday drawing on the 29th. Jackpot sits at $74 million with a cash payout of approximately $36 million.

What Would YOU Do with a $1,000,000?

Okay, let's say you hit it big....and I mean REALLY big - at least a million dollars after taxes. What would you do with the proceeds?

Fall Break Pool Members Percentage Increases

If you banked funds with us over the Fall break then your contribution percentage - and subsequent payout if we win big increases because the group voted to take what we won over the break and buy more tickets. Since it's essentially your money that's doing that - you get the benefit if we win a significant amount.

New $2 or $5 members who decide to join us aren't eligible for the same benefit but will still receive a percentage equal to their contribution percentage to the whole in the event of significant win.

November 1st, 2006 Draw
We won $16 total for this draw. The jackpot was won in two different states (the winners will split the prize) and the jackpot will also get reset to $15 million now. The pool will not participate in the draw again - unless the majority votes otherwise - until the jackpot is near or above $50 million. We have $337 in the piggy bank now based on our fall break wins and a vote is up before the group on how this money should be used in the future.
