The Journey
See what happens when your pool wins.
Seven short stops. Check a real play against a verified drawing, set up a pool of friends, see exactly what a prize would split to and what the first five things are, plan distinct lines, then make the pool real. Your place is kept as you go.

Why this is honest. Published only when two official sources agree. We show what was drawn; past numbers say nothing about the next drawing.
Check
One play against one drawing.
Why this is honest. One play, one past drawing, the official prize table for that date. A match last week changes nothing about next week.
Play it
Alone, or as a pool.
Why this is honest. A pool shares the cost of more lines. Every line has exactly the same chance; the pool changes what you pay, not the chance of any line.
If we win
The split, the taxes, the first five things.
The first five things
- Sign the back of the ticketThe Pool Admin signs it as the pool's trustee and photographs both sides. An unsigned ticket is a bearer instrument.
- Lock the recordThe pool's snapshot is already frozen: members, shares and paid-ins. Export the bundle from the pool page before anything else.
- Say nothing public yetTell the pool in pool chat, nobody else. Claims and anonymity rules differ by state.
- Call a lawyer and a tax professionalBefore the claim, not after. The claim form and the split are legal documents.
- Claim as the agreement saysWithin the state's deadline, in person for large prizes, the way your state pays a group: the "Who claims" line above says how.
The first five things, in fullHow a pool claims a prizeYour state's rulesSplit calculator
Why this is honest. Whole cents from the official prize table, split by the same largest-remainder rule the ledger uses, so the parts always add up. Tax lines are estimates; the lottery and your return decide the real figures.
Plan coverage
Distinct lines, no duplicates.
Your pool buys — lines. The coverage tool builds that many distinct plays with a stated objective: spread the numbers across the range and keep any two plays from sharing more than a few numbers. Print the sheet, or send it to ticket entry once the pool exists.
Coverage avoids duplicate lines inside your own pool, so the pot never pays twice for the same play. It does not and cannot improve any line.
Why this is honest. Coverage keeps a pool from buying the same line twice. It does not and cannot improve any line.

Create a free account and the pool wizard opens with these choices filled in. Then invite your people with a link, a six-character code and a QR code, and record the official ticket with a photo.
The pool wizard opens with these choices filled in. Check each step, accept the agreement as Pool Admin, then invite your people with the link, the six-character code and the QR code. Your saved coverage run prefills ticket entry.
- Invite: link, code, QR, native share
- Members pick shares, pay you, mark it paid; you confirm
- Lock, buy the ticket, record it photo first
Why this is honest. Nothing is bought here. The Pool Admin buys the official ticket at a retailer and records it with a photo; the record does the rest.
Draw night
A reminder, the thread, the settle-up.
- CheckingOnce two official sources agree, every play in the pool is checked against the result. Fixed prizes post on their own; a jackpot or a pari-mutuel prize waits for a person to enter the official amount.
- SplittingPool winnings divide by the shares in the locked snapshot, to the cent, with odd cents going to the largest remainders so the total always matches.
- SettlingThe Pool Admin claims the prize and owes each member their line. Each payment is recorded by one side and confirmed by the other; the round closes when every line is settled.
On draw night the pool's page shows the drawing as it publishes, the draw-night thread opens on the results page, and members get the results message about ten minutes after the drawing when they ask for it.
Get a nudge about ten minutes after the drawing, then open the draw-night thread on the results page: pool members react and post there, with the record speaking first.
Why this is honest. Results publish when two official sources agree; fixed prizes post on their own, and anything uncertain is marked Needs review, never guessed.
Every amount is in whole cents from the official prize table of the rule version in force. A pool shares more lines; it does not change the chance of any one line. Responsible play · How it works.
