I would go to Evasive Motorsports & clear out everything in stock & give all the parts I dont want to my friends. Would still keep the current S, deck it out for track. Get another S & deck it out with some kind of hybrid widebody kit & a compound FI system. Then probably look in to some property with enough storage to hold another 20x cars or so each...in the US, Asia & Europe. Buy stocks & investments & maybe make a local track if theres some change left.

Oh & try to do something with the Lotuses

The regulars at Milpitas should do a group buy for tickets, everyone throws in $5. If we win = lumpsum, split evenly between the contributors.

It seems like you would use all that money in a pretty smart way. The ticket all together is a smart idea. But it would be better to develop "a system" and pick the numbers yourself. If you let the computer pick the numbers for you, it will repeat lots of them on the same ticket. I bought a $10 ticket yesterday and the computer pick gave me #26 as the mega for three times.

I don't see the problem here. Every line is a separate ticket. It's not like you get to combine the numbers.

But it doesnt really matter IMO - the range of possibilities is too large for a handful of people in the group to come up with duplicates. So yeah, whatever that person's preference is - choose your own or quick pick.

I like the idea of for example 10 people participating at $5 a pop for 50 chances at winning; better odds as a group. $X/10 (or 20,30,etc) = a shit load of money you may never have in your lifetime working 8-5pm

Well if the computer gives me three times #26 as mega that means that if it comes out #24 as a mega i have two less chances to hit it (the mega) on that ticket cause the # has been repeated three times, and one was sufficient. I see what you're saying that every line is like a separate ticket but at the end of the day you're not just playing for the 5+1 combination, and i would rather have very different combinations than having numbers repeated.
