I have an idea to create a free forum online for my my very own (and probably first ever) lottery pool for mega millions. The idea is that instead of discussing a topic(s) with other members like on a typical forum, members register on my forum and basically just state weather they want to join the pool or not and post pictures of the tickets they bought before each drawing (as proof, if someone's ticket wins, that that person owns the ticket so that nobody can claim THEY bought the winning ticket and file a lawsuit or something). If someone's ticket wins the jackpot or other large prize, my idea would be, after cashing the ticket and claimiing the prize, the winning ticket holder would mail a check (after everyone PMs the winner his/her home address) for however much everyone wins to all members who contributed for that drawing and then everyone can go to their bank and cash their check. Would that work? How would everyone recieve their money? Also, how do I make absolutly sure that the winner ticket holder will pay everyone their share and doesn't just keep it all for himself? Basically, how do I make sure there will be no fraud?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

It would also be wise, to draw up some type of paperwk thru an attorney to protect yourself and everyone else how to properly disperse thew wins and basic info involving joioning the online pool and so forth. Get the legalities out the way, then focus on the winning!

Not a smart decision. You could end up with world wide infamy.

i would ask " how do you enforce someone pays up? "

I mean mathematically is a sure bet, everyone buys 1 ticket, the chances are , say if 10 people joined, that you would 90% of the time not have to send that check. and be collecting them, if 100 joined 99% of the time you would be collecting. you would at least need a legal contract agrreed to by entering a photo, and a no win no fee lawyer agree to take ea and every case you generate.

id say there would be a tendancy for people to join then do a runner if they infact are the %1 winner of a jackpot.

then its a goer.

" Still swinging, still missing "
2014 = -1016; 2015= -1409; 2016 = -1171; 2017 = -1257 ; 2018 = - 1380 = TOT = - 6233

keno historic = -2291 ; 2015= -603; 2016= -424; 2017 =-427; 2018= -223 TOT = -3968

1) You avoid all the legal stuff and dress like a banker.

2) You take the cash for the tickets and don't play.

3) When the pool wins something, you pay the pool members with the money that you kept.
Make sure that you deduce administration costs for your precious work.

4) Once that the payouts are bigger than the money received for the tickets, you move to the Bikini islands.

Tip:
Make sure that the pool is big enough!

Haste, make waste! If it's worth doing, take the time to do it right! Just saying.

forget what "they" say about you. What you say about you?...

Now, does it count??

Every member of the pool goes out and buys their own tickets.

The holder of the winning ticket (if there is one) then hopefully will be honest enough to actually pay everybody who played.

A man bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

Come morning, the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, but I've got some bad news. The donkey died."

"Well then, just give me my money back."

"Can't do that. I spent it already," replied the farmer.

"OK then, just unload the donkey."

"What're you gonna do with him?" asked the farmer.

"I'm gonna raffle him off."

"Ya can't raffle off a dead donkey!" exclaimed the farmer.

"Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anyone he's dead."

A month later the farmer met up with the guy and asked about what happened with the dead donkey. "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2 apiece and made a profit of $998."

"Didn't anyone complain?" asked the farmer.

"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2 back."

Why would you even want to do that?

List Pick 3 singles by low sums, high sums. Separate each sum row by consecutive pair and non consecutive pair combos. These 3 pair groups. 14 17 47, 25 28 58, 36 39 69 are in 63 combos. 54 combos do not have them. Which sums do the 3 pair groups appear and not appear? Look at root sum groups 147, 258, 369. Play accordingly.
