Beware of Members Trying To Get You To Join A GroupReply
These pyramid scheme lottery pools promise their victims a possible commission check and free plays for suckering friends and family into the scheme plus the promise of a share in the jackpot. Of course no one ever has enough friends that stupid so they are drawn to groups like this to push their scheme. They don't give a damn about anything but making money so it's pointless to try and carry on a discussion with them. The pool owners suck up most of the money. You never know if they re

Lotto LeagueReply
Sounds interesting! Just be sure to use good agreement forms, and be strict about having people sign. Also, make sure that you get an accurate list of people playing each and every game, and distribute copies of tickets. Make sure they are always bought, and communicate to people if they are not. The biggest issue you want to guard against is if you hit the big jackpot, someone who played at one time could claim they thought they were in it. Make sure wording makes it clear that such

Contacting Professionals After You Hit A Multi-Million Dollar Prize!Reply
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer or financial advisor. LOL I agree with CAlotteryguy. It's very hard to keep your picture out of the paper, especially during a slow news week. Also, the form in which you claim the prize isn't just the issue here, it's the law regarding anonymity which is a state decision. Also some states allow only one individual to claim a jackpot and others allow several to be paid. So if you win in a state that will only pay one claimant and you are in a pool or simply sh

raffle pollReply
Since Alabama has no lottery (and likely never will), I voted its not offered where i live. However, I did play the Georgia Millionaire Raffle. I didn't win anything this time, but I will play again next year IF the ticket pool remains at 500,000. If they go the way of Florida and sell over a million tickets, I won't play. The Georgia Raffle had a reasonable balance of prizes, IMHO. Of course I'd like to see them add a few more prizes. I'd also like to see the raffle be offered 3 times

Raffle or Not?Reply
Sorry it took me so long to answer; I didn't see this thread again until yesterday. It boils down to gaming preference and when a game like the Florida raffle sells out that quickly, the lottery commission know they have a game people like. This is an all-or-nothing type of game because over 1.249 million tickets will be losers. Each state will probably add their own twist to the prize pool and maybe a state will reduce the number of million dollar winners and add 10,000 $100 winners. My b

Georgia January 15th thru 21stReply
Thank you TheMaker! - I don't play ALL these, but just work out the tiers so everyone can compare to their workouts. Excluding doubles, over a period of 134 draws, there has been only 12 draws where the (single) number has not shown. There has been 14 doubles which did not show, and 10 times where the doubles showed, so not a great indicator for doubles. So why post all these numbers? Well look at it this way. Take midday's draw for example. I just quickly counted the singles, but I

Lottery pool loses $36 million jackpot; wrong tickets boughtReply
Here we go again 30 people in a pool so far nothing is wrong. One of the people is playing the numbers for the group again nothing is wrong. What is wrong is it that none of the other 29 people didn't ask did you play our numbers ? Why didn't that take place ? Or even ask to see the numbers, that is just blind faith. I guess blind faith gets you nothing, as least inquiring about it you gets you a second chance. Lucky146 wrote On the bright side these people now have a great opportun

Limited Editon Game : Win $1,000,000 A Year For LifeReply
That 11 cents isn't the cost per free ticket to replace the prize pool, it's the cost for *every* ticke sold. The state has to pay any prizes won by free tickets, so giving away a free ticket costs exactly as much as selling the ticket for $2, except that the state doesn't collect the $2. Each ticket, whether it was free or sold for $2 has an expected payout determined by the odds. For your game the payout is 53 cents onthe dollar for tickets that are sold, plus another 53 cents on the dollar
