Now if you buy 100 tickets for yourself, that's gambling. Your dreams don't get any bigger if you spend $2 or $200.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Here's the lone single ticket, though I bought it on the app, and it chose annuity for us.

    Hope they'll let us change it.




 @CountValentine Where did you buy yours? Not from the app?

"If you’re located in New Jersey:

All New Jersey tickets default as Annuity payouts. The Annuity option can be changed to the Lump Sum Cash option at the time of the prize claim. A choice of the Lump Sum Cash option at the time of purchase cannot be changed to the Annuity option at the time of the prize claim."

  That would mean, you're better off selecting annuity and you would have best of both worlds.

+1.

Buying a new ticket for this exact group is the only fair thing.
It was also stated in this group in advance before the raffle and nobody objected.
Charity or a free ticket for myi is a nice gesture, but it's not the reason we did this group. We did the group so we can dream last night, now it's only fair to slightly keep that dream alive on Friday with the huge 1 in 300 million chance.

(Even if the next drawing after that is 40 million, any small winnings should be reinvested in the next one, since it keeps the dream alive. It doesn't make sense for myi to need to send out $2 to 100 people. If anything, if we win $200, it should be decided in ADVANCE, if he should reinvest in 100 tickets for the Next raffle, or 50 tickets each in the next 2 raffles, since it's not a billion dollar raffle.)

Sorry, but $40m divided by 100 winners (lump sum is ~$20m pre-tax) divided by 100 winners, that’s $200k/person pre-tax, I prefer to donate the $ to Tzedakah than buy the $40mm ticket. $200k just isn’t the same dream.

I hear that. Truth is, I'm not even dreaming of winning. Some people pay $2 for a chance to dream - I pay $2 for a chance to hock here.  :D
 (I actually think it's pretty common for people to purchase event tickets just to be able to be part of discussion and "in on the action", even when they don't really have any personal interest.)

If you really just want the dream, wouldn't you be better off buying a ticket every week? For $12M post tax you can still dream, and the difference between 1 ticket and 100 tickets in terms of dreaming of hitting the jackpot is negligible.

100%, was just thinking this myself. In absence of this group I don’t think I’d be looking for a random assortment of 100 people to pool with for this jackpot.
