Pools are a fun way to play with friends or coworkers. They go smoothly when everyone agrees on a few basics up front.
1. Write simple rules
- Who's in, and how much each person pays
- Which games and which draws you'll play
- How any prize will be split
2. Pick one organizer
One person buys the tickets and keeps them safe. Everyone else gets a photo of every ticket before the draw.
3. Choose numbers fairly
Arguments over "lucky numbers" are common. Using the Set Builder gives the group a neutral set, and the Visual Board lets everyone see the history behind it.
4. Keep records
Track who paid, which tickets were bought and results. A shared sheet or our play log method works well.
Rules about group play and claiming vary by state. Check your lottery's guidance before a big draw.
