If you win the lottery with a friend because you bought the tickets together, how do distribute the winnings? Does it just get distributed to 1 person and you just have to hope your friends pays you? I can't imagine the awkwardness there if anything went weird..

You've gotta think that half the jackpot is enough that many people would say FU to their friend and just keep the money.

When we had a work pool, we all signed a piece of paper saying that we bought in. A copy of this and the tickets was sent to everyone.

I got a lot of money from my friends, bought a lot of tickets, and sent out nothing.
Just saying. But I also have the worst luck in drawings...

Spoiler:
The only drawing of substance I ever won was 10k in slot $$ at the casino I played at. But I was home during the drawing.
Spoiler:
I guess I also won the 'White Male' drawing, so I guess I'm running way above EV.

it looks like they sell them at the casino sweet! if i can buy them with my player points that could get crazy. i have about $2000 in player's points

i'd have about 1 in 300,000 chance of winning. if i did it every day for a thousand years, i'd probably win one time.

now i just have to figure out how to buy them. mark said "pick your numbers" but i don't know how to do that

Just get a "Quick Pick". They randomly generate your numbers for you. Probably 90% of people do this and the other 10% are the olds who play every single day who actually pick numbers. Maybe also the extreme gullibles who buy books on how to win the lottery.

Also, on the off chance you do win something substantial, check to see if you can claim the prize anonymously in your state. There was a long drawn out court case going on about a lady who won millions, signed her ticket asap, then found out she could only claim anonymously if she hadn't signed it herself and instead set up an anonymous trust first, then signed it to the trust fund.

IDK what ever came of that, but yeah, remain anonymous if possible.

good advice!

but i have a feeling people might be suspicious when they see me riding around on my diamond palanquin carried by taylor swift and the victoria secret angels

if the usual lotto prize was 10 million and all of a sudden today it was 200 million, we'd probably be all excited about it and talking about. but the usual prize is 200 million so we don't give a **** when the prize is only like 400 million. who cares *yawn*

But if you won you could buy Tahiti! As in pay cash for it and have enough left over to fly in Tswizzle
