Lottery Pool

A lottery pool – also known as a ‘group play’ or syndicate – is formed when a number of players put their money together to buy lottery tickets. Any prize money that those tickets win is shared between each member of the group. One player is usually assigned as the pool’s leader, and they are responsible for buying tickets and claiming any prize money.

Playing as part of a lottery pool is one of the only sure ways of improving your chances of winning Powerball. Because you have a stake in more lines, there is a greater likelihood that your numbers will come up, giving you an advantage over other players that have just entered a single line and who therefore only have one shot at winning..
