Now I see that you can enter more than one number at a time. The instructions said something about entering one ticket at a time. I didn't see a Pick 4.

In Ohio when lottery players win more than $500 they can file a claim with the state and get all their money when ever or go to a bank which the state has selected to act on its behalf, pay a fee and get their money right away. The winners know this from the get-go and make their choice accordingly.

I agree with Four4me

With 900 to 1 whats a few fees.

four4me,

Thanks for adding that dose of reality to the discussion. I think that maybe because I've spent so much time researching this stuff, I forget that other people don't necessarily understand these concepts in as great depth, and I just sort of assume that people do.

As a result, I tend to focus on things that are much more important, like how good the company is, what kind of games they offer, ease of use, flexibility of account management, etc., and I tend to focus less on the t... [ More ]

Look anytime you deal with money changing hands there are going to be fees. Like if you owe a bill and go to western union and do a money transfer it could cost anywhere from 15 to 30 bucks. Or go to your bank and ask them to wire transfer money from east coast to the West coast cost is anywhere from 30 to 75 bucks. Transferring money overseas forget about it, cost can be high especially if currency denominations are to be changed from American to Euros.

if you win 9,000 on a straight will that money soon be available on your card or do you have to wait 4 to 6 weeks

Yup - I don't think anyone was slamming anyone. As you had stated, Todd... you wouldn't recommend a site unless you felt it was worthy. We just had some questions/concerns since this site is recommended by you.

Kinda scary that the domain name is locked and is registered out of Singapore. Their site states Bahamas, so that is a little confusing and concerning to me.

Yeah...ditto Snakeyes. The whole idea I thought was to provide some feedback on the site so everyone could see. It's certainly not a slam on you Todd...we're grateful that we can have a site to go to and wager if need be.

Reply #16

Snakeyes — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 21:13:40 GMT

I thought I was pretty constructive

Regardless, I appreciate the effort you put in to identify viable and trustworthy organizations to place wagers with. I would much rather deal with these rules knowing that in fact, they will honor their end of the agreement (I win, I receive a monetary prize based on my monetary wager).

Now, if you want to waste your time; put your vette against mine in a 1/4 mile run.

Thanks again,

Snakeyes

I think they're referring to the time it would take to get a check sent, or something like that. Obviously, it does not take 4-6 weeks to get a credit on your credit card, if that's what you chose. Honestly, I'm not a spokesperson for them, so if you need clarification on any of their rules, please write to them directly. I'll do my best to answer common-sense answers, but they are the only ones who can answer something like this for sure.

Todd, I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, If I request a funds transfer it will take 4 to 6 weeks for me to receive it?

In the event that a Valid Participation Form includes winning in an accumulative prize, up to a total sum of US $10,000, then the Company will transfer the winning sum due to it, to the personal Participant's Account of the relevant participant, upon where it can be used in leau of a credit card payment for future orders.

Todd - don't think of it as a waste of your time...we all appreciate the work and research you do. The thing is that there are people that may not think it's worth it to pay $30 just to withdraw a $50 account. I guess if you were that hard up for money, then you would, but if they gave you a no-fee min like no fees for a $50 w/d, then that would certainly be in-bounds. Like you said before, perhaps if enough of us try it out, then maybe they will relax those fees.

Now, as to the state lotteri... [ More ]

Hmm... I thought I'd try to post my opinion on this stuff, but it seems to be getting lost. For all you who thinks it stinks and that's the end of it, then I suggest you look elsewhere. Anyone else who wants to work with an obviously superior web site (and company) can be a little more constructive.

I see these same kind of petty non-constructive comments every time I post a recommendation about a new web site, and it always makes me wish that I didn't waste my time researching these thin... [ More ]

Todd — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 20:42:36 GMT

I don't see it as a big deal, but as you say, everyone makes up their own mind. I can't ever see wanting to withdraw less than $50, so it's not a big deal for me. Who knows, as I said before, if enough of us play there, maybe they will consider bringing that limit down.

cps10 — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 20:41:05 GMT

That stinks. Of course they can't possibly be buying the state lottery tickets on your behalf? Only PB and the big jackpot games, right

Todd — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 20:40:39 GMT

Yes, on your first point. I have checked them out as a legitimate organization, just like I had checked out PTS.

I have been seeking an alternative to that other quarter web site, because of all the negative stuff that went on there, and because I am convinced that they are NOT a good site to recommend to LP members. I will never recommend a site, when I believe it to be a dangerous place to go.

Anyway, I agree on your last point. Once LP members jump on board at Betslips, our combine... [ More ]

There are other rules also, Todd to withdrawing from this site:

Any funds in your account will be automatically applied to future orders when you checkout. If the balance in your online account reaches US $50.00 you may request a withdrawal of your funds. (Minimum withdrawal is US $50.00.) Depending on the way you choose to be paid, there will be a varying service fee assessed. For example, if withdrawing into your Click 2 Pay account, there will be a US $15.00 fee. For a money order the... [ More ]

Slight drawback.

I never paid anything to withdraw from the other site.

Otherwise, sounds great

I trust that you are endorsing this site since it is linked on LP; unlike the other Brand X sites.

Just from my reading, bummer for people like me who do not generate picks for evening draws until the midday draw is made. Their site states a cut of time of 9am Pacific Time (12:00 pm Eastern Time) however, they also state it would be possible to place an order after the cut-off time. Perhaps enough traffic (business) to their site would allow them to change this rule.

Thanks,

Not sure what you mean about Hmmm on the withdrawal rules . They have the same withdrawal fee ($15) as that other site that I will never do business at.

Zoozie — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 20:12:42 GMT

They only offer one method to pay... says they will be adding others soon. Hmmm on the withdrawal rules.

Waiting to see what the other LP members think of this.

Good Luck All...
