Lottery Group Recommendations:
• Assign a lottery captain and co-captain. If the lottery captain is going to be away, have the co-captain be responsible for the ticket purchase.
• Limit the shares to 10 for weekly draws (more shares involve more work).
• Offer multiple shares so you have fewer people to bug for money.
• Play the same numbers, or choose quick picks for groups that play weekly.
• Save lottery slips if you’re playing the same numbers, or ask for a replay.
• Hold a special one-time group purchase when jackpots are high.
• Give all members a copy of the tickets with the names of all shareholders, showing the unique ticket numbers and validation codes. Make use of group play forms to record all shareholders.
• Obtain complete player information: i.e. name, address, telephone number, date of birth, and Social Security / S.I.N. if required.
• Photocopy the tickets at a 50 percent reduction in order to group all tickets on 8½ x 11? sheets of paper.
• Choose players that have email accounts, so that it’s easier to let people know when more money is needed or to share copies of the tickets.
• Scan and email the tickets; you’ll save trees. Doing so makes distribution easy and cost-free, as well as providing a time-stamp.
• Offer only quick picks on large groups, since people often fill out lottery forms incorrectly. This will eliminate any claim that you missed playing someone’s numbers.
• Take advantage of a lotto subscription or purchase of multiple draws if it’s available. This can be a timesaving option.
• Consider lotto subscriptions that issue a certificate for a batch number of draws. You won’t have to validate tickets. They will send any winnings by check, but will contact you directly if you win the grand prize.
• Allow ONLY people of legal age and those who are legally entitled to play, to be part of your group. This means NO MINORS. To keep it simple, group members should be local – nobody from out of state, province, or country.
• PLAY ONLY LOTTERIES THAT HAVE A CASH PRIZE. It is not easy to divide wins of a house, boat, car, etc. among group members.
• Let someone opt out ONLY when the lottery group has a ZERO balance.
• Make it a condition that wins of $1,000 or less are reinvested to keep the group going without needing more money invested. One person wanting out is a waste of time.
• Have a waiting list of replacements in the event one member wants out.
• Adopt the motto, “If your money isn’t in, then you’re not in.” Have all members sign an agreement to abide by this recommendation.
• Make certain that all tickets have the contact information of the lottery captain written or stamped on them with the words, “In Trust – Group Ticket.” This would prevent fraudulent claims to any winning tickets.
• Check the winning numbers online but ALWAYS VALIDATE TICKETS WITH A TICKET AGENT – with your name on the ticket!
• SAVE validation slips – winning or not – and staple to the photocopy of the numbers for that week.
• Collect $1 to $5 per person per week. It’s a reasonable amount for a weekly lottery group. High-income earners may be able to afford to spend more.
• Offer $10 shares to one-time groups when the jackpots are BIG.
• DON’T LET THE BOSS KNOW if players all work for the same company. The business could be in trouble if the key people leave because of a win.
• Offer business-minded people a share in one-time draws. This opens the door to future business as you took the time to offer a share in a future win. I get a 20 percent discount on paints because I let a paint storeowner into our one-time groups. On recent paint purchases, I saved more than $400, giving me more money for lottery tickets.
• Know where you have to go to claim the prize; usually all members have to be present. Lotteries will generally issue only one check in trust to the captain, so choose the captain wisely.
• Document any wins and let members know the winning history. I often average 20 draws for the price of 10 draws.
• Develop an action plan for how the group will arrive to claim the money,
i.e. limo, plane, bus, etc.
• Give your group a name – just like a sports team – for group spirit,
i.e. The Lucky Group of Ten.
• Consider having all members obtain a Lottery Charm. Please visit our website at www.LotteryCharms.com.
• Check out the Lucky Squirrel Scratcher / My Lucky Lottery Charm coin at www.LuckyCoin.ca.
• Urge all members to read this book.
• Make sure you have purchased the tickets.
• Purchase the right tickets on the right draws. Once when talking to a ticket agent about other things, I was distracted and bought tickets on the wrong draw. This mistake cost me about $100, and I had to scramble to buy the proper tickets in time.
• HAVE FUN and let us know if one of our Lottery Charms brings you luck!
• Review the Ten Steps Between You and a Lottery Win (Tip #21).
• Keep playing – persistence will pay off! I call this the dumb dog principle.
