V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

As posted in a couple other topics, some of us are gonna throw in $20.00 each and buy lottery tickets. The hope is, if we win we can take a portion of the winnings and build a limited number of "NEW V20's" and split whatever is left over among the folks who put thier $20.00 in the pot. A few guys have already expressed intrest. I'll watch this topic till the end of june. Then I'll contact all the interested parties and we'll buy the lotto tickets. Hell, it's only $20 and ya never know. Post here if interested.

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

IN!!!!

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I don't know, we got a couple of takers. Maybe it will start out slow and pick up speed. I was a little disappointed myself. We'll go with the guys who want to get in. If only a handful join us, we just wont have to split it too many times to pay up

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I know RAP said he was in,there's four

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Cool, we'll give it till the end of the month and see who is in, then we'll buy the tickets

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

you guys need to get out and do some fishing on your v20's !!! 31 lb striper this am ... money wont bring you fish.

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I agree, but some of share a dream of bringing back the V20 to production - new and improved - we wont stop you from fishing, dont stop us from dreaming - and If we are that one in a million lucky, we'd be happy to build a new V20 for you

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

build a new 20 v steplift.?we would all become very rich.count me in
and the new model would be exactly the same just with some extras like more storage under the side seats in the cabin and small compartments built into the side, floor panels that lift out and come up with a spot to hold 4 class 1 life jackets and a tool box

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

that is what Franco's idea is all about.It is a giant longshot but you never know, whoever gets in" MAY " end up w/a new custom v20 and a little play money

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

You KNOW I'm in!!!... ;D...

Vic, congrats on that whoppin' striper!!!...good fish...I like dreamin' between bites...and on the way to the ramp....and on the way home...and, and, and... 8) ;D

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I stopped by the local lottery outlet and inquired on how we can play the same numbers for several weeks. Apparently there is a place to select how many weeks you wish to play the numbers, up to 52 weeks. You pay in advance and keep the same ticket. Just gotta check it every drawing.

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hi ya Franco,... Question...how or who pick the numbers.Maybe work in some of the VIN numbers off our boats

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I'm open for suggestions, but 20 should definitly be one of the numbers.

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Production began in 70 and ended in 95, so there are a couple of more numbers to consider... ;D...

Still can't figure out one thing...if you wanna play same numbers for several weeks, do you pay again each week?... ???...can't believe you can play 52 weeks for only a buck!!!...but if we can, by all means we should...

If we could get him to tell, we could use MJ's age...what's it, 21?...couldn't be more than 26 or 27... ;D...

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

if we have $52.00 to play, that will buy us 1 number every week for 52 weeks. we can just pay in advance and keep the ticket and check it every week

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

OK, now it's sinkin' thru this THICK head what you're talkin' about... ::)...

Any idea of better odds(either way slim) spreading over time vs buying many different numbers on one day?... ;)...I dunno...but we'd sure know sooner...maybe split difference and spread over couple of weeks or so...?...

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I've never played the lottery cause they don't have it in NC, but a good friend of mine's father won $150,000 one time. He studied some books on how to maximize your odds. Apparently there's a lot to it, but I know he was playing some of the same numbers for a couple of years. With that, I think playing the same number would be better than several random numbers in one day. Remember the old saying, "don't put all your eggs in one basket" 8) ;D

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

HEY BLUE, CAN YOU DIG UP ANY MORE INFO????

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Online would be a good place to look for information. I haven't looked yet (afraid to at work) but I promise to check into it for you.

I went gambling once and did ok on roulette. Well, ok for me - I turned $20 into about $140 in about an hour. However, then I got bored and played some more and lost it all. BUT, I consider the $50 (of my money) I lost that night to be spent on entertainment and R&D ;D I didn't even know how to play roulette before that night.
(By the way, the other $30 was "wasted" on video poker and slots :P :'( :-[ :( - I'll never put another dime in a slot or poker!)

When I got back to home base, I went online and found a nice little Roulette strategy to try out 8)

Been itchin to go ever since. I think its safe to say I'm either gonna put about $300 - $500 in my pocket next time I go 8), or worse case scenario I'll lose $200 :-[

But, my point is, you can learn an aweful lot just looking around online.

Hey, why don't we have our first annual V20 Rally in....

There's got to be a body of water out there in the desert some where?!?

a friend of mine won the Fla. state lottery about 14/15 years ago....5.8 million....2 or 3 years later he went back to the same convienience store, bought one ticket and won 37,500.00. Talk about luck.I have not seen him in about 3/4 years, I do know he still has his 54ft. searay

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Looked back at this thread, thought I'd already signed up but I hadn't, so I am now! Don't know how much luck I'll bring to the table . . . I already won life's lottery. ;)

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hey Blue_Runner, I just came back from Vegas last week. There is a big body of water about 30 miles from there. Lake Meade with Hoover Dam. ;D

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Maybe he'll invest in the V20. That would solve the money problems. :D

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ranger, that's a genius of an idea....except at the end of the article he says he's not going to rush out an buy a yacht >:(

Hmmm, if I had $85 million after taxes, the first thing I'd buy is a yacht!! I don't think he's into water sports ???

I can't believe he's going around doing talk shows?! What's his problem? What an idiot! Everybody and his brother is going to be soliciting this guy.

I can't imagine wasting my time with talk shows after winning a big load like that!

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Some people have more money than sense. :P

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

MY idea of a yacht would cost $100K or less, only one tenth of one percent of his take-home. Some people! :P

Re: V20 lottery !!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I liked the way Sam Walton did it...100+ footer mega-yacht and TWO 40' sport fishers to accompany the "Mother Ship" wherever it went...can you imagine?... 8)...ya hear the billfish are hittin' good in Costa Rico, have your secretery call the captain and move the flotilla to CR...jump on a private jet w/ some buddies and go do some fishin'...yeah...that's what I'm talkin' bout, uh huh!!... ;) ;D...
