    Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.</p>

    I'll jump onto this bandwagon, paypal sent! If we're starting a ski area, there are two rules I would advocate for:

    On a pow day, if you do either of the following things your pass is turned off for a half hour and you have to sit in 'jail' watching everyone else ski. Ideally an open air roped off area right below the lift so people can kick snow off their skis on your head and heckle you for making poor choices. Eddie murphy's 'party all the time' will be playing on repeat any day with more than 12" of new snow as an added incentive to not break the rules.
    1) Traverse into a line that can be skied from the top
    2) Demonstrate a complete failure in basic arithmetic and planning in the lift line that results in you going up a 2 or more person chair alone
    Three fundamentals of every extreme skier, total disregard for personal saftey, amphetamines, and lots and lots of malt liquor......-jack handy

    Of course. Ten in 300 million is so much more than one in three hundred million.
    If we get enough money we can own this game.

    Which... carries the 1, divides by 4, subtracts (counts on fingers)...

    Is just enough to fire the Jerantula production line back up for our rental fleet.
    There should be an option to defer payout until mags can relocate to tax free states. And assume identities. And ghost irl friends.

    I like where your head is at, but the date by which you must collect is suspiciously set at the usual length of time it takes to establish residency in a new state - 6 months.

    But yeah, as Ron White once said, I’ll be off with my new friends!

    easy pick just means a computer picked em randomly...it doesn't affect payout
    am i missing something?

    payout is affected by the size of the group per split, of course

    i do understand the ratio of winners that win via easy pick matches the ratio of total players who choose easy pick, meaning the winning likelihoods are the same whether easy pick or pick your own

    Play 1 2 3 4 5 6

    It’s just as likely.
    Unless the balls are soggy and the game is rigged.

    In!
    The group just purchases the helicopter, picks the copter pad and hanger to store it in and then finances the pilot and all for groups any time you want to hit the back country...

    I did not even know that yields any payout. Shows how much I know about this lottery.
