Look like about 37...178 tickets. -- nm - Meg Nov 26, 13:33 14
- So with 140 mil as the actual take home, divided by 37 participants, a $2 share = $3.8 mil - TWuG Nov 26, 13:42 10
  - you have to divide by number of tickets (then multiply by number held for each person's share). Currently each share would be under a million. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:44 8
    - The actual payout is more complicated, as you say. -- nm - TWuG Nov 26, 13:46 1
      - The average buy-in was 4.8 tickets per person, so the average person will take home $3.8 million -- nm - TWuG Nov 26, 13:54
    - specifically, $786,517 per share. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:45
    - I figured it as if everyone put in the $10 -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:45 4
      - then it would be 370 tickets. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:46 3
        
        Powerball is a $2 ticket -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:48 1
        
        ah, yes. sorry. so 3.8 would be close. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:57
        
        but only 1 will win the grand prize -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:47
  - cool :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:43
- if we are the solo winner, that is $3.8M each -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:41 2
  - what would you get from an annuity these days? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 26, 13:45 1
    - no idea -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:45
31.250 -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:29 14
- Mel sent money too? Nice. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:32 13
  - I'm going to look good as Queen Elizabeth on Thursday. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 13:33 12
    - You're lucky. - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:37 6
      - I've navigated the TT/ST storm for so long I am well practiced at steering into the storm. - Mel Profit Nov 26, 13:47 5
        
        i would get an elkskin suede whipstitch steampunk/wildwildwest 3 piece suit -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 26, 13:59 4
        
        I'd totally get a Steampunk Dirigible. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 14:04 3
        
        "Death from above! Muwhahahaha!" -- nm - Reagen Nov 26, 14:06 2
        
        or really just Death from...slightly above you and falling fast. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 14:13
        
        this sub-thread made me think of the Sky Master episode of the old Spider-Man cartoon. -- (link) - zork Nov 26, 14:10
    - That's not giving you much time to get more manly. Good luck. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 26, 13:34 4
      - with $278m I'm not worried about gender identification. I'm just hoping I don't go Full Blown Eccentric by mid-January. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 13:35 3
        
        If you last that long, I'm calling the psych ward myself. - Will Hunting Nov 26, 13:39
        
        $140M is the true after all tax & advance payout [26 years] fees amount -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:38 1
        
        Ok, so it looks like I'll just limit the insanity to M, W, F, SA, SUN. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 13:49
