you'll laugh at this. I run a couple of pools.and am in a third. the two i run, i paid half half into a bonus ticket issue. If you buy 36 lines  worth $20 , you get another 36 lines, all quick picks. I didnt want to pay 2 lots of $20, so i took $10 from ea pool. 1 pool has 2 people, me and a mate, the other has 5people, me and 4 family members. the prizes will be split half / half between the 2 pools.

 

cant see any problems from this.

      Some pools DO work out... and should you win (sending happy thoughts your way) - it would be wonderful for your pool(s) to be the prototype for cooperative pools in the future.

      I wish you every good luck!

        actually i usually keep the pools very seperate, but this is more than i like to spend. i told  the single guy, in an email. and  2 family membera, but not all of them.  i expected more of a ruccus from in here. as well its a pool, and it is kind of complicated. i also have accounts  from bank records that basically record ea purchase, form ea syndicate., and wins going back in thw accounts.  bottom line is, its not aquaintances, its peoplew i have known for decades.

         

        the fun would start explaining hoiw the money would be diveyed up tho lol.

          I don't subscribe to any pools, but I guess when one is married, that person is in a de facto "pool" regardless whether the other half contributes or not. But I would never think about participating in any work pool.

            Lottery pools are still best as it gives you more tickets at a lower cost. I don't think it will be as popular as playing on ur own due to issues with trust. Imagine having someone like mirlande Wilson buying ur tickets.

            I also organise lottery but only plays  with UK at www.uk-lotterysyndicate.com

            If I live in US it will have been US lottery. Quite a few have sent me money from US but I have to return the money. I guess the most common hurdle in US, apart from trust, is the US anti online gambling law.

            Suspiciousness is one way of saying that one do not want to know the truth. It is the best way to keep the mind empty and the spirit restless.
