Frequently Asked Questions...
Are lottery clubs and pools legal?
Yes. States with lotteries recognize lottery clubs, groups and pool
playing.
ShareLotto does not sell lottery tickets. Only licensed retailers who have
been contracted by the New York State Lottery Commission are authorized to
sell tickets. ShareLotto promotes a group lottery club over the internet
to
enhance its club member's chances of winning. If you can't get out of the
house, or if there are no lotteries in your state, this may be your only
way
to play the lottery.
Doesn't the United States Postal Service have rules regarding lotteries?
Yes, several laws are in the US Code. Sec. 3005 regarding lotteries and
has
been on the books for about 50 years. It was written to prevent people
from
starting their own lotteries. ShareLotto is not conducting a lottery -- we
are merely a club playing the New York State lottery. Another statute
frequently referred to is Sec. 1302 - Mailing lottery tickets or related
matter. We do not mail any lottery tickets or New York State lottery
materials through the mail.

Can you guarantee any winnings?
No. With all state lotteries, there are many losers compared to the few
winners. No one can guarantee a winner. History has shown that the club
method (or pooling) of lottery play produces more winning tickets than any
other method. Being patient and playing the lottery through a club such as
ShareLotto gives you a better chance of being part of the jackpot prize.
We
reduce the odds.
Our motto is: "Share the Expense" - "Share the Wealth".
How do I find out what numbers you are playing for me?
You will be given the op****tunity to choose your own numbers and then you
will receive an "Order Confirmation" email that will have your numbers
listed. You also know when your subscription starts and ends. Each drawing
you will be able to go on-line and view the actual scanned tickets well in
advance before the drawing. You can also check on-line for your numbers
and
the winning number results for all games played by the group. You should
have a "PayPal" account to order your shares and to get paid when a prize
is
won. Winning numbers can be verified on the internet at www.nylottery.org
,
the official website of the New York State Lottery.
Can I play my own numbers without sharing?
No, because the whole concept behind SharLotto is the act of pooling each
others numbers together, and if someone else's number hits, then we all
win.
However, you can play individual games such as the Daily Number; the Win4;
the Take5; NYS Lotto; and Mega Millions games, but you will be put into a
group and if you win, you must share your winnings, and vice versa; the
group must share with you.
How do I know that you are an honest company?
Go back and read our old messages. Some of our members have been with us
since our first year! We have operated our lottery club since September 4,
2000 and have purchased every ticket that we claimed. In fact, ticket
purchases are scanned and uploaded to the files area just in case anyone
wants to see them!
Trust is very im****tant. The ShareLotto Member****p Club accepts and pays
winnings to its members through the Paypal site. This is the most secured
online site for merchants and consumers, and they accept most all credit
cards. ShareLotto is a "Verified Member" and has an excellent standing
with
Paypal.
How can I contact ShareLotto If I have a Question?
We can be contacted by sending an email to ShareLotto@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
If
needed,
we will provide you a telephone number to speak with us or a fax number if
you need to fax over your "Contract Agreement". You can also send
questions,
comments, and payment to:
ShareLotto Member****p Club, POB 7183, Garden City, NY 11530.
What will happen if a ShareLotto Group hits the Jackpot?
When we win the top prize or the Jackpot - each "Paid Member" in the
numbered winning group ONLY will share 1/10th share, or 2/10th for
members with two shares, etc. Also, any "Paid Member" who was not in
the winning group, and has purchased shares within the last 30 days
will be as an "Active Member" entitled to 1/10th share of the
ShareLotto 1/10th share.
Second, we will contact our attorney immediately to offer advice on legal
matters and distribution of money to the ten winning members.
Third, we will contact our accountant to provide the correct forms
necessary for tax purposes for each winning member.
Yes, each member will be responsible for claiming their share of
winnings. The Lottery Commission will also need each winning members
name and social security number and address for their record.
I hope I have answered your questions, but please feel free to
contact me if you are unclear on any matter, or if you have any
additional questions. Thanks and Good Luck!
