Q. Why should I play in your Pool? A. Your chances of winning the Lotto 649 Jackpot is 13,983,816 to 1 in all draws. I think you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning, Twice! I know for a fact that playing by my system that in a third of all yearly draws the odds of winning the jackpot is better than 73,815 to 1. I can improve on those odds even further by eliminating certain patterns I have found that have never occurred but unfortunately there is no way to calculate that factor. So I can tell you the odds are really, really good.
Q. Is there a fee to join? A. There are no fees of any kind to join. All money collected goes 100% to ticket purchases only. There is no fee if you pay for your share by cheque. There is a nominal fee if you pay through PayPal or credit card. The fee is charged by PayPal's administration fee.
Q. How much is it to join? A. Each share costs $158.74.You pay only for your share of the cost of the tickets. Each draw requires $116.00 CAD worth of tickets to be purchased for each draw times 26 draws, which includes 6 Encore plays. That amount is divided by the number of players in the pool, not including myself. So usually there are a total of twenty people in a pool, so not including myself you divide that cost between 19 people. So the actual cost of playing for each draw is only $6.11 CAD per draw per player.
Q. How will I know the numbers we are playing? A. A copy of the tickets, Encore numbers, and free tickets that we win will be posted on the site before the draw for members.
Q. Why do we need to pay all the money up front? A. It is very difficult to run a pool like this to begin with, let alone chasing people for money or having to discontinue the pool because there are no funds and ruining it for everyone else involved. This way the road ahead is already paved for a smooth run for everyone involved.
Q. How and when do we get paid our share of the winnings. A. All winnings of $9,999.99 or less will be held in the pool fund til the end of the term at which time each shareholder will receive a check for their equal share. But if an individual draw yields $10,000.00 or more, then that money will be distributed among all shareholders immediately upon redemption of the tickets, and at the discretion of the administrator ( me ), any money in the pool fund may also be distributed out at this time. Also, depending of the size of any big winnings, we will organize a trip to the OLC office in Toronto, On. to receive that big cardboard cheque together.
