Though I did not participate, I will still root for y'all to win and for one of you to hire me as an extremely well-paid pool boy. -- nm - Love is in the Baron Feb 11, 12:07 1
- done! -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 12:23
Thanks - I feel ST is very lucky right now! -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 11:46
Thanks for doing this, greatly appreciated. -- nm - J Feb 11, 11:45 1
- Indeed. Meg is the de facto matriarch of ST. -- nm - David Feb 11, 11:46
The question becomes - will this end up like the Luftansa Heist in Goodfellas - Mel Profit Feb 11, 11:44
Thx Meg!! -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 11:41
hee hee ... I wish I could have seen his face ... did you buy the single can of cat food too? (warped humor I know - but so funny) -- nm - JenBro Feb 11, 11:30
THANK YOU MEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 11, 11:29 1

"How YOU doin'?" -- nm - Mop Feb 11, 11:22
$500,000,000/330 puts each share's value at around $1.5 million. - TWuG Feb 11, 11:20 18
- Total pool is 340 shares, including 10 that were bought elsewhere and assigned. -- nm - Meg Feb 11, 11:35 7
  - So a little *less* than $1 million per share at the current lump sum payout. -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 11:36 6
    - lumpsum after taxes will be around 600K per share (depending on where you live) -- nm - decline Feb 11, 11:50 5
      - Dammit, not enough money to retire on comfortably. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 12:01
      - I thought the cash option was after 25% fed tax and you're left with paying your state tax on that number? -- nm - Max Feb 11, 11:53 3
        
        I estimated 40% tax overall - it'll vary by state and local taxes and such -- nm - decline Feb 11, 11:55 2
        
        lump sum is pre-tax - for the annuity you only pay taxes on each payment each year -- nm - decline Feb 11, 11:56 1
        
        That's as annoying as cable companies not revealing taxes and fees. If it's a "cash" option, advertise the number after fed taxes are taken. -- nm - Max Feb 11, 11:58
- And 1 share equates to 1 $2 ticket, yes? -- nm - Mop Feb 11, 11:24 1
  - Yes. Max was $20 for 10 shares. -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 11:25
- Did anyone not make the cut? - Ultron Feb 11, 11:22 7
  - you are so cool!!! -- nm - JenBro Feb 11, 11:32
  - sold! - Andie Feb 11, 11:22 5
    - if you are serious, i will paypal you right now. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 11:23 4
      - Do it! - Ultron Feb 11, 11:27 3
        
        Done! :) -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 11:34 2
        
        Sweet! I only chipped in $10 for 5 shares. But even 4 shares is plenty! -- nm - Ultron Feb 11, 11:37 1
        
        4 shares *plus* a very nice thank you gift from me. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 11:47
So, 420 chances for me to win a life-changing amount of money. - znufrii Feb 11, 11:20
So is my math right here? - decline Feb 11, 11:18
take some 'dolla dolla tickets yo' gangsta photos of yourself -- nm - Max Feb 11, 11:08 1
- I meant to take a photo of the store - I'll get it when I go back to validate our winnings :) -- nm - Meg Feb 11, 11:09
That's awesome! - David Feb 11, 11:03 6
- Or he's thinking, there goes that poor woman, burning through her social security payments.... -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 11:14 5
  - He better not have made eye contact if he was. - David Feb 11, 11:24 4
    - Man, remember that one guy who rolled his eyes at her after she'd turned away? *shudder* -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 11:27 3
      - What? Nobody remembers thay guy. What guy? -- nm - Ultron Feb 11, 11:28 1
        
        Crap! Glad I renewed my enrollment on the "Do Not Kill" list! -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 11:30
      - I think eunuch is the correct term now. -- nm - David Feb 11, 11:28
