It's so much better to be a Canadian citizen if you buy lottery tickets...

Please read my response to RJOh.Second, I have both conducted and participated in several lottery pools and I have a very good idea of what is involved.Good luck,Jake

When I wrote if it were offered on the Lottery Post website , I wasn't talking about an invitation to join posted to a discussion forum. What I had in mind is dead already if Todd gives it the thumbs down. I was talking about Todd providing an area for lottery pools. Try to visualize the following: Another menu button added on the left side of the page. It could be named LP Pools. Under this button are three submenus consisting of:Ongoing Pools (Locked and viewable only to the members of each p... [ More ]

Jake,I agree with RJOh. You are asking alot of others. If you really want to do what you are proposing in any type of legal manner, you have no idea what is involved.Like I stated before, I run a club/pool in Georgia for the 3 Lottery games we have here and let me tell you it is very time consuming. I probably spend between 15 to 20 hours a week filling out game cards, buying tickets, emailing the members and updating the website daily. I am not complaining because I enjoy doing it. I don't...

I am interested in participating in an online pool. Here is a suggestion that may work.Let us say that 10 people decide to participate and they each agree to spend $100 per year. Each person in the group would spend $100 on behalf of the group. The group would decide what types of games and numbers are played.The advantage is that money does not have to be mailed around. Only if the group wins a large amount would money be transferred. With different members living in different jurisdictions, th... [ More ]

Hi Goose,To join is free, to play is not free. Right now each member contributes US$5.00 to each drawing. We can discuss details in a private message.Thanks,John

We have not won anything substantial yet, just quite a few 3 of 5 and 3 of 6 wins. But, we are exploring new ideas and hope to win something big soon.keep on the good workI have a question here:where does the money to buy the tickets come from if our join is free

If this is going to work, we'll need a system of checks and balances to ensure that one person in the pool has no more advantage than another. If the pool buys quick-picks, everyone involved would need photocopies of all the tickets before the drawing takes place. Another viable method would be to scan the tickets and post them to our own thread here, with Todd's permission, of course and, again, they'd have to be posted before the drawing.maybe todd can set up a lotto poll here for us....

My initial response would be a resounding NO. If the pool were properly organized, however, I might reconsider.I've been a member of these pools before, but they were very informal. Consequently, the rules changed from week to week, and no one got paid. One of them did very well. We used a system which covered every number in the field ten times for $80.00. We hit four numbers almost every draw, and hit five numbers twice in two months. Rather than split any money we won though, the man... [ More ]

Recently there was a post by Cyrus wanting to join an online lottery pool. Why not form one here on Lottery Post if enough members were interested? RJOh made some good points in replying to Cyrus' request. Butt if you've ever tried to get family, friends and coworkers to go in with you, you have probably found that it is hard to keep it together with everyone playing consistently enough for it to be a true pool. So many excuses. They have to have more than a passing interest and want to do it no... [ More ]
