Unless you live on another planet you probably know the record Powerball Jackpot for Wed 1/13/2016 is now up to 1.3 Billion and likely going to climb to over that before it's drawn , the chances are like 292 million to 1 to hit a winning ticket and all of us have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than winning but by pooling our tickets together we all stand a very slim but better chance of winning just a little piece of that life changing amount and couldn't think of a better group of hard working down to earth guys to start this endevour with so here's the details:

- Each person or user will enter a $20/10 number ticket, 10 numbers on (1) ticket

-Only (1) $20/10 number ticket per user on forum to keep it even and fair

-You will buy your ticket local and take a CLEAR picture of ticket and post up pic of your ticket

- By posting up your picture of your ticket YOU AGREE TO POOL AND SPLIT ANY WINNINGS WITH ALL MEMBERS IN THE POOL

-This pool is open to any and all members that want to join by posting a pic of your ticket

-Grand Prize main Jackpot,2nd place 1 million dollar and 3rd place $50,000 jackpots if on any winning tickets will be split equally among all participants in the pool,any of the lesser prizes $100,$7,$4 prizes don't need be split with the pool and can be cashed in by the ticket purchaser.

-ALL TICKETS MUST BE ENTERED BEFORE 10pm 1/13/2016 with drawing going off at 10:59 pm Wed nite

-BY POSTING A PIC OF YOUR TICKET YOU AGREE TO POOL ANY AND ALL WINNINGS WITH ALL MEMBERS OF THE POOL

-Also once you post pic of your ticket keep in safe place and don't loose your ticket

-warning:if want to participate and should have a winning ticket and have second thoughts about sharing with the pool, you will likely be tracked down and not responsible for your safety

-in event of winning ticket any lawyers fees if any will be paid from winnings after taxes and before final monies are split.

-in all reality likely not gonna be any winners on here but can always dream.



Here's mine to start it off, take a clear full ticket pic like this and good luck

Click the box like u r gonna type then click the tree picture. A box will pop up, if it has a place to type then its on the URL crap. Click from computer then click choose file then, select the picture u want then click upload image. It'll take a few seconds then a bunch of writing will show up in the box that u normally type in. Click post quick reply like normal and bam you're done, it'll post the pic

Was done in VA with the State lottery years ago but was only 5 numbers and jackpot high enough that had teams buying blocks of numbers for all combos, they even made a movie about it ,and you still risk multiple winners and splitting the pot which could ruin your profits and put you in the hole

there is a difference from odds and probability.
the probability of hitting all the numbers is 1 in 40,664,815,074
(that's 69 to the 5th power x 26 powerball options).

but that's if there were 6 drums of 1-69 but that's not the case the combination of subtracting 1 ball on each pick so the combination is actually 69x68x67x66x65x26 = 35,064,160,560 witch means there is just over 35 billion possible outcomes. but this is not the odds

the odds of picking the 6 winning numbers 1 in a "hell of a lot,lol"

You're right but... The order of the numbers DOESNT MATTER. As long as u have the right numbers u win so that means there is 292,201,338 possible combinations... I think
