I paid, but am not in Wiki.

What happens then?

ETA: in fact it seems that a number of ppl have posted they paid but aren't in wiki.

As many as you want but I have a limit on depositing $1050 into my account each week. This is in IL.

Was considering doing this and would be nice to know how it works before I try- If someone was buying 100 tickets this way, it would be 20 transactions of 5 games each. Would that be 20 ETF withdrawals, or can I check out once? (I'm in PA, but would guess the answer doesn't vary by state)

I bought 10 lines x 6. Each 10 lines was a separate transaction. Funds were deducted from my account balance.

   Say we win a billion dollars plus, All those that are sending me money without putting their DDF handle name inside the memo of the payment, I'm going to charge you a hefty fee for my time putting togther the user name with your name from the payment. Part of the T&C.

Online vs. Paper- the only two answers that make sense to me are Online or Makes no difference. If the drawing is completely fair then it makes no difference where the tickets come from. But I sometimes suspect there's an imbalance for advertising reasons... for example, lottery subscriptions just became a thing and both Powerball and MegaMillions already had a solo jackpot winner with a subscription. That's a huge coincidence. Great ad though. Online sales of draw games is new too, and having a winner who bought online is a fantastic ad.

We also tend to see jackpots roll over too many times even when hundreds of millions of tickets are sold (enough that the expected number of winners is >1, as happened on Tuesday) over and over again... for example, inflation being what it is now I am expecting this jackpot to roll over with no winners so that they can declare the "largest jackpot ever" next week. It's statistically unlikely.

Looks like I'm the only one who voted so far.

I'll gladly pay you the typical accountant rate of $250/hour if we win the billion +.

Have a suggestion for this group- dealing with small winnings is annoying and raises questions. So why not buy the "just the jackpot" option? It's $1.50 per ticket instead of $2, so you can buy more tickets overall.

Please don't close the thread. We need it open so we can discuss our winnings.
