There are now people who claim they can pick a pool of numbers half the size of the lottery pool of numbers that will contain all the winning numbers half the time, but to cover all the possible combinations cost thousands of dollars. Most players want to win the lottery with less than $

Help with system - DLM - 2Reply
Tom,Your request for help is confusing. Are you interested in a discussion of ideas on playing the lotteries or attracting paying members to your pool? If you are picking numbers the same way as everybody else, why should anyone be interested in joining your pool? There have been several members mentioned that they run lottery pools, but so far, I've seen no proof that they offer any more than can be gained by starting a pool locally with friends and neighbors that are known and trusted. I p

Evidence mounts against defendant in Mega Millions lawsuitReply
I am in a lottery pool at work. We buy 10 of the $10.00 scratch off tickets at the same store every Friday. The people at the store know we are in a pool. When I want to buy tickets just for me, I use another store. So, if I happen to win.. they know it is not the pool's money. So far with the pool in buying the 10.00 ticktets we are netting about $ 50.00 to the good now. We are hoping to hit the big one.

Claiming winnings in a lottery pool
Presently, me and a coworker are doing a Lotto pool together. I checked the claim form for my state and only one person can claim a prize. If we win, one will get stuck with the taxes, and that isn't right. I'm trying to figure out the best way to claim it tax wise if we win.I've seen a few things about getting a Federal Tax ID number and claiming it as an entity, then distributing the winnings between the us, and turning over some to the IRS. The particular game we're playing doesn't have an

The first $400 million jackpot?Reply
tg636,Whenever the Powerball jackpot reaches a record level, the amount of the jackpot prize is limited to increases for each draw of no more than $25 million. The prize money collected in excess of the advertised jackpot amount, plus the maximum $25 million increase, will be placed into the Match 5 Bonus prize pool and will accumulate until there is a jackpot winner. When there is a jackpot winner, the Match 5 Bonus prize pool will be divided equally among all winners of the Match 5 prize. The

Mr Steel,Part of the fun of posting at Lottery Post is sharing my ideas and picks. If I played in a pool with others, I couldn't do that. Most people who play in a pool like to think that their numbers are unique even if they are QPs and don't want them posted in a public forum. I've read that some pools have done well but I have yet to see an

Georgia Lotto PoolReply
Hi john..your lotto pool sounds like something i would like to sign up for...how do i handle the payment of 5 for each drawing?

I was talking with fantasy5 for a while and he had mentioned it to me before but i didn't know how many members that you had.

Georgia Lotto PoolReply
Congratulations Lottery Analyst,Sounds like your Internet lottery pool idea got off to a good start. Several other posters have shown interest in starting one, but haven't found a model that they like. I read a response of Todd, the webmaster, that he was looking into the legalities of starting one at LotteryPost. I checked out some of the other such pools and yours is the only one that put all the fees into buying tickets, a guy could spend a lot of his own money running a pool that way, mos
