What we do?

We give you the opportunity to up your chances of winning the almighty Powerball!

By joining our lotto group buys , you get the opportunity to get your limited amount of purchased tickets/numbers into a giant pool of tickets/numbers thus giving you a greater chance to win a prize!

You can choose to purchase 10$ / 20$ / 40$ / 65$ / 100$ / 250$ / 500$ worth of powerball tickets in bitcoin.  We will then add your numbers to the pool. We will purchase the lottery tickets on January 13th 2016 at 8pm EST giving everyone plenty of time to purchase tickets.

To Join The Pool:

   Send your ticket purchase amount worth of bitcoin to 1HdZrCH59sdsNtsnYkvvjiePN1vKf93HZn
    Then email us at Contact@buybitcoinlotto.club with your name, payment Txid and your bitcoin address (to pay you the winnings)

(go to http://preev.com/ to see what $ is in bitcoin is currently)

This is how your $ will be used:

We will purchase sets of numbers and we will get the “power play” so all smaller prizes will be multiplied. We take 1$ per 10$ worth of tickets purchased.

Lottery pool agreement:


All winnings (including the jackpot) will be split evenly among all the pool entrants. In the case the we do hit the jackpot, we will claim the prize as a “lump sum” (currently $868 Million dollars) and all winnings will be split evenly to all entrants. All winnings will be converted into bitcoin and sent evenly to all entrants.

You realize Powerball tickets are $2 each. How could you buy a $65 package?

Also, are you going to post proof of the bought tickets? Doesn't really make sense to me why someone would trust a random stranger not only to purchase the lottery tickets but to split the money on the one in billion chance he actually has the winning ticket.

In addition, how would the taxes be paid?
You will pay the government the taxes on the $800 million,
then buy $480 million in bitcoin, then pay and send equally to all the participants?

I'm sure that if we don't know who you are, the participants won't see a cent of it.

Yes as the site says all tickets purchased will be scanned & put on the site.

Correct, taxes would be paid then money split accordingly.

We made this so that we could go at this powerball as a group. Nothing more nothing less.

Why are you spending your precious btc to this impossible game?

The possibility for winning powerball is lower than "btc will be 1billion$" argument. Cheesy

If enough people play and he is able to buy 292,201,338 tickets and each one has a different combination of numbers, then he would have bought every single possible ticket which guarantees that the jackpot will be won by him. Of course this also requires that enough people buy in so that $584,402,676 has been spent. With the current prize, everyone would still be making a profit.

Why not spend the money you would put into powerball into Bitcoin?  I read an article about the mentality of the wealthy and they do not play the lottery nor put a lot of stake into higher education. Too many articles out now about powerball being rigged.

I love Bitcoin

I want to believe this is a real thing, but to be completely honest, I feel like human greed is going to get in the way and I don't think that we'll actually see a payout. If there was some form of escrow provided, alongside more proof of the tickets actually being there, I would be far more inclined to participate.

Now I also don't want people thinking I'm saying that OP is lying, in fact he is probably running a very legitimate and real system. It's just there isn't enough here for me personally right now. I will be 100% fine with recanting this post if the proof can be published.

The thing about this though... and the reason that you probably won't be getting any participants in this (or at least I would hope not), is because you have to trust a third party to collect the money and then send that money to you.  You can't be serious in thinking that we should essentially trust you to cash out the winning ticket (if by a miracle you do win) and then send the split jackpot to us.  How are you going to transfer our cut of the funds then?  Bank transfer?  Bitcoin? Meet in person?

I don't think you realize that people who are on here are probably good enough financially to spend $10 or so on their own ticket at their local grocery store/gas station.  To trust someone with ~$400 million (which would be the persons cut in this situation) is ridiculous.

Yeah, I'm not saying that OP is a scammer either... but I'm saying with that much ungodly wealth going to one person, greed is going to kick in regardless of who that person is...

Even with the most trust worthy escrow on the forum, I'm sure there could be a price tag to buy out the escrow to just "forget" about the situation after the unlikely scenario that he had the winning ticket. 

I like the idea playing the lottery using bitcoins, but trusting a third party with that much money is not something that I, nor do I think anyone else, is willing to do.

Every this kind of game the amount of your spend is should be bigger than price. Otherwise it won't be winning game. Cheesy

If you buy every possible tickets than some tickets are same with other people's ticket. Cheesy And you need to share your price with someone you don't know. Cheesy

We definitely don't want to scam anyone , we just figured that we see a ton of people joining up in groups to buy tickets locally so we thought if we could do this online ( to maximize our pool size ) & with bitcoin it could be a win win.

Also , we've been on these forums for awhile we publicly advertise our services for our main business - FlatRateArtist.com

Thank you all for the input! & whether or not you purchase tickets in our pool we hope the best for everyone, be conscious with the money.
