How it works

A lottery pool runs on trust. ShareTheWinning turns that trust into a record everyone in the pool can read: who is in, who paid, which ticket was bought, what it won, who owes whom.

  1. Create the pool

    Pick the game, your state, the share price and the drawing. The pool agreement is written for you in plain words.

  2. Invite and pay in

    Share a link or a six-letter code. Members choose their shares and pay the Pool Admin directly; the admin confirms each payment. The pool locks before the drawing, and nothing in it can be edited after that.

  3. Record the ticket

    The admin buys the official ticket at a retailer and records it with a photo and every play. Members confirm it matches.

  4. We check and split

    Once two official sources agree, we check every play, split any prize by share to the cent, and show who owes whom until everyone confirms they are paid.

What we never do

Free. No invite needed. Members pay each other; we never hold money.
