Default Re: Critique this internet business idea: pooled lottery tickets

This idea isnt very good. People are playing the lottery to win big. If they wanted to spend a dollar for a chance to win $5 or $100 they buy scratch tickets.

I had a better idea. A service that buys your lottery ticket every week, that way you never have to worry about it, and your numbers will always be in play. You could either charge a flat rate for this service, or a percentage of the winning ticket. Also the store where you buy the lottery tickets gets a kickback from the lottery when they sell a winning ticket, so you could work out a deal with a certain place that you would get all your lottery tickets from there, and thus make more money.

Im just to lazy to do this, or even find out the legalities of it.
