PCF Powerball Pool for Monday October 9th, 2023 (4 Viewers)

Cool idea.

It seems from the comments you've done this before. So I assume you've worked out the details of what happens in the event of a win.

Are you setting up a trust to claim the prize? Or do you intend to claim the prize as an individual? Have you disclosed who you are in real life? How will we know if you've (i.e. the pool) won anything aside from your word?

(OP, I don't know you at all and I can't recall any interactions we've had - so please don't take this as an attack on your integrity.)

What's to stop you from purchasing drawings independent from the pool - in which case if you won you could claim the entire prize yourself regardless of whether the winning ticket was purchased from pool funds or by you personally?

I guess to put it another way, what safeguards are in place to keep the pool participants from getting screwed?

It's be cool if @Hornet or @upNdown could chime in with their legal perspective.

It's all fun and games until someone makes off with $1.4B. GL Allin!

It’s actually almost $1.6B now…

 

[ChipMonster]

For those worried about me pulling a razzle dazzle and vanishing into the night with the jackpot, I will be posting pictures of all tickets purchased via group chats with pool members (just like the Saturday draw that @ConsensualPresidency ran).

Yeah, but there's like a 300,000,000 to one odds of that happening.

 

[Moxie Mike]

My bad. That changes everything.

 

[ChipMonster]

About 4 hours left to jump into the pool.

[glynn]

In for the minbet $2.

 

[ChipMonster]

Pool closes in 1 hour. Just waiting on one payment to come through and we’re all caught up. I’m going to add funds to get us to an even $800 if nobody else is in (@Moxie Mike are you in or are you still waiting for legal advice from your attorneys? Haha)

 

[ConsensualPresidency]

I’ll bump up my contribution, another $20 for a total of $40

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

If we win, it would be pretty neat.

 

[ngmcs8203]

[inapinch]

when we win

FYP

 

[ChipMonster]

 

[ngmcs8203]

When we win there will be a new boom in chip trading and suddenly 30 new threads chronicling our lives as professional poker players.

 

[MrBoosh]

This is us tomorrow!

In the spirit of running these I’ll offer a Super Bowl square sheet this year

GL!!!

Think I got in just under the wire. Was having an issue with Venmo (which wanted the recipient’s last 4 phone digits).

 

[Timmah]

I’m in for $20

Venmo usually asks for that but down below in small font you can click SKIP

 

[Timmah]

Nvm. Looks like I missed it by 20 min.

 

[Taghkanic]

Good to know. (I almost never use Venmo, except when one of my regs forgets to bring enough money to the game. And I really dislike taking buy-ins that way. Often I’ll ask them to wait until they cash out before Venmo'ing me, and then I spend the whole game praying they have a winning session.)

 

[Joe Harris]

in for $6 if I can sneak in a bit past the deadline

 

[ChipMonster]

Pool is closed and all funds have been received. I’ve entered everyone into an assigned group chat since the messaging service only allows 11 users to be added so couldn’t create a single message. For this of you who are in the pool, please reach out to me asap if you do not see your name in a group chat. I will post images of tickets purchased in the group chats after buying them later today along with time/location purchased. Good luck to all of us!

 

[ChipMonster]

And just to whet everyone’s appetite I’ve added an estimated gross winning column to get us all dreaming…
