Half way thru the game you change the rules? I believe thats fraud.
You cannot change the odds of a game once it has started.

I would argue that the boat is worth 100k. It was posted that it could be bought for that much.
I Lean more towards keeping your 32 & selling the 37. You could get alot more gas

Default Questions:

How many tickets have been sold to date?
Where on LI is the pick up spot?
Don't need an exact address - just wanted a town - I live in Westchester and wanted to think about the logistics of hauling it up here when I win

Default Active Thunder Auction?

I think I'll sit out on this one. Theres other boats out there anyways. the markets flooded with better boats than the AT anyways. Take your pick.

Anybody know what kind of tax liability there is if you win?????? How does that work???????? Sorry, but I don't have 30k laying around to pay taxes.
The amount paid for the ticket is not deductible as a charitable contribution. They are deductible to the extent of gambling winnings (i.e. its treated as a gambling activity).

The winnings being taxable is a grey area. If properly set up it could be considered a gift (i.e. not taxable), but the general rule would be to treat it as gambling winnings.

Are you referring to this boat or just A.T.s in general?

The actual odds really didn't change anyway. If you spend the original $1000 and buy 4 tickets your odds of winning are still 1 in a 100.

There's a lot of possibilities. Maybe sell the less 37 less power & drives( & put them in the 32)or put um both up for sale and see which goes. The problem is I need another 6 feet of garage for the 37.
