the idea of joining together isn't to increase your odds. it's to increase your mazel
Hmmm interesting thought, not sure I agree but not a bad svara.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Does anyone pick their own numbers or does everyone do QP?
Pick your own to increase your odds of being the only winner if you win.

What's the reason everyone calls their old rebbaim before YK? Because we hope G-D will spare us based on the fact it'll hurt our rebbi.
So to here, we hope G-D wants one of the members in the group to win, and we'll win too.
I'm not who you think I am.

Many people pick days on the month and months for their numbers. Birthdays and the like. Stay away from those numbers.

Good point but if hashem doesn’t want anyone to pick their birthday no one will pick their birthday

Curious (maybe it should be a poll): If you won a large jackpot, lump-sum or annuity (technically an annuity due that pays at t=0)?

Personally, I'd take the annuity, to guarantee that no matter what happens in the market, my payments are safe for 30 years.

Also, I'm told that the interest rate the lottery pays is actually decent due to the tax treatment, as they can invest the entire principal tax-free, so the interest accrues on the full balance, vs. the lump sum option where interest only accrues on the after-tax amount.

Pay off a mortgage?
If your mortgage is less than 10 years old its prob Nlnot worth it, you should be able to invest and get a better return than the rate youre paying on your mortgage.

I always thought the payout was set ammount annually.

For mega it's 30 annual payments increasing by 5% each year. So the size of each payment is determined by the jackpot size.
