Now You Can Manage Large Lottery Pools on your Smartphone

The SmartCaptain Mobile App helps people manage large lottery pools and though it is still in development, it has already garnered quite a bit of publicity. That fact was recently underscored by a huge lottery jackpot that was won by a group of employees in Portland.

An enormous jackpot of over $420 million was recently won by 20 employees from North American Stamping in Portland. The lottery pool was started by Amy O’Neal of Lafayette, Tennessee 8 years before and she says that she simply began the lottery pool because she thought it would be fun and increase everyone’s chances of winning.

So years went by where these 20 employees bought tickets each week and then finally, a miracle happened. They won! The $420 million dollar jackpot worked out to be about $255 million when taken as a lump sum and it was split equally 20 ways, giving each person a little over $12 million.

What the article doesn’t say is how challenging it is to manage a lottery pool for 8 years. There are tickets to buy and money to collect. It’s a good idea to make copies of the tickets and distribute them to the other members of the pool. If lottery pools are set up incorrectly or run poorly, it can cause arguments and hard feelings amongst employees. This has happened an untold number of times and is the number one reason why lottery pools break up.

That’s why the SmartCaptain Mobile App is being developed. Users will be able to scan and share the lottery ticket images with everyone in their pool. The app also makes it easy to track member payments. And you can also broadcast notifications to everyone if there is a winning ticket number. Payouts can be issued to each member with just the touch of a button. The old fashioned way of managing big lottery pools takes lots of time and makes it easy for errors to occur.

With the popularity of lottery pools growing each year, many employees belong to at least one pool that has dozens of members. The individual running the pool normally spends 15 hours per week trying to make copies of tickets and notify everyone in the pool about the results of the lottery drawing. Even with email and social media, it’s a huge undertaking.

The SmartCaptain Mobile App will change all that. From now on, it will be easy and fun to manage a large lottery pool and this will encourage others to get involved in them. A lottery pool really does increase your chances of winning by quite a bit.

The SmartCaptain Mobile App will reduce the time it takes down to just a couple of hours per week. It will also reduce the number of errors and bring people together in a fun weekly endeavor that can pay off big if the participants do win a large jackpot like the employees at North American Stamping did.

Today, these winners are paying off their bills, taking vacations, buying new homes and cars and giving money away to people they love. You could be one of the lucky ones too!
