Lottery pool can't be a business in TennesseeReply
with the money collector getting a fee for his services or a share of any winnings The laws against this are pretty universal. The reason is that a pool manager collecting a fee for issuing tickets constitutes acting as an agent of the lottery. Even if he/she has a lottery license it is against most regulations to host a lottery pool if he/she receives compensation without participation (and in some places, altogether prohibited, compensated or not...again it's all about acting as an agent

Do Lottery Software program help YOU WIN lottery?Reply
I like the pool play idea, but this requires administration and time, as people get or are annoying to sabotaging. I forget about the pool idea. Again, if there was a miracle-program, the payouts would suck even more.

Is this legal?Reply
I increase my odds by having a 1 in 100 chance to scratch a book of 100 tickets, something I would not otherwise do. I make no profit off of the pool itself. Any profit I got would be after winning the pool, if I were to be so lucky.

Is this legal?
I am looking to increase my odds of winning a Life Changing Prize (LCP) on a scratch ticket. My idea is to create a Scratch Ticket Square Pool , Folks may, each early February, buy into a Superbowl Square Pool where you can win a set amount of money if the score of the game matches your numbers on the grid at the end of any quarter. These are lots of fun and you may win some decent money if you by a high-end square for $50 or $100 and you get lucky. But what if you purchased one square f

Regarding sharing a jackpotReply
It probably depends in which state and there isn't that type of info on the NY site. Some states will only issue one check even if they know a pool won the prize. I'm pretty sure if the jackpot is divided by a pool in the states that allow multiple checks, each check is for the same amount. Might check with an attorney and may need to form a trust to distribute the money in uneven amounts.

Megamillions and Powerball GamesReply
Well, you're not reducing anything as far as the odds are concerned. Playing more combinations increases your chances of winning. Playing select combinations does not. If you choose to play from a pool of 3.91% of 5-ball combinations, then on average one of the combinations in that pool will win 3.91% of the time. It's basic math. If there are 100 different ways of organizing numbers and I play 5 of those ways, I have a 5/100 or 5% chance of winning, regardless of how I pick or which of those 5
