A lottery pool app that keeps everyone honest
FutureEdges is a lottery pool app for coworkers, family and friends who play Powerball and Mega Millions together. It replaces the spreadsheet, the group chat and the shoebox of tickets with one private place where every member can see what the group has paid, bought and won.
What the app does
- Group agreement: write the rules once and have every member accept them in the app.
- Contributions: record who paid for each draw and see the group's ledger at any time.
- Ticket proof: upload a photo of each ticket. The numbers are read from the photo for you to check and correct.
- Results: the winning numbers for each draw are filled in for you, and each ticket shows what it won.
- Notifications: members are alerted when tickets are posted and when the group has winnings.
- Private to your group: only the members you add can see your tickets.
- Nothing to install: it works in the browser on your phone or computer.
A lottery pool app or a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet only the organizer can edit asks everyone to trust one person's memory. A group chat buries the ticket photos under jokes. A lottery pool app keeps contributions, tickets and the agreement in one place that every member can check, so there is nothing to argue about on the day of a big draw.
Who it is for
Office and workplace pools, family groups, friends who play together, clubs and groups playing for a cause. If one person handles the money and the tickets for several others, the app is for you.
How to get started
- Create your account and set up your group.
- Add your members by phone number and invite them with a text message.
- Write the group agreement and ask everyone to accept it.
- Record contributions, buy the tickets and upload a photo of each one.
Pricing
One flat yearly fee covers the whole group, and only the organizer pays: $50 for up to 10 members, $80 for up to 20 and $150 for up to 50.
What FutureEdges does not do
FutureEdges does not sell tickets, run a lottery or pay out prizes. You buy tickets from an authorized retailer, and prizes are claimed with the original ticket. FutureEdges is not affiliated with Powerball, Mega Millions or any lottery. Please check your state and local rules before you start a pool.
