    So after talking with wildwest we're going to do a Powerball ticket pool. I will be organizing things and collecting funds through PayPal. My wife buys our tickets and she does the power play option, that's what ill be buying. Please keep in mind your contribution should be in multiples of $3, ex. if you want in for 3 tickets you need to send $9. Any winnings will be divided by participants in the % contributed. I will post how much each FHC member contributes and i will post pictures of all tickets purchased.

    I'' need to have you $$$ by 9pm EST on Wednesday January 13th 2016to allow myself time to go buy the tickets. PM me if interested and ill let you know my email address for the PayPal. If you don't do PayPal, and you would like to be in the pool, buy your tickets (Keep it fair and buy the $3 power play tickets) and post up for all to see before 9pm on Wednesday January 13th to be part of the pool. Lets keep our fingers crossed and make for one hell of GTG if we hit big.


    Please make sure to send the $$$ as a gift through paypal.

    First off thank you for taking this on. Now just a thy. Would it not be easier to just do a set buy in price say $21or $33? Then when we win, divide it equally by the # of participants

    It's not really that complicated, keep it open for any budget... you want in for $3 or $333, it's all good.

    Straight from powerball
    "

    CAN I PLAY POWERBALL FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE OR THE U.S.?

    No. Repeat as necessary. If that changes, we will say "yes" here and tell you how.

    CAN A NON-RESIDENT WIN POWERBALL?

    If you legally purchase a Powerball ticket, you can play the game and you can collect prizes. You do not have to be a citizen or a resident to play the game. You can be a tourist. That said, some states do have rules that seem to imply that a winner must produce evidence of citizenship or a federal SSN, but there are other ways to hold back taxes for a winner who does not have a U.S. SSN. Occasionally, some state lawmaker talks about limiting wins to U.S. citizens, but no laws have passed so far.

    I think it's a yes, if we hit we'll figure it out. I say that because of the second bit. You can come to the states and but and collect, you just c can't buy from Canada.
