LottoLane is a lottery pool management tool. It will handle email invites/reminders, payment tracking, sharing pics of tickets, and more. It will take care of everything involved in a lottery pool except for buying tickets.

that's funny 'cause i would actually play the lotto (esp. those scratch off games) if buying a ticket was as easy as clicking a button, or sending an email. A daily email with the results of the lotto would be great too.

Here's a site that sells lotto tickets online:

Legality of doing something like this is questionable. Plus, there's the issue of trusting the site if the ticket hits the jackpot. I believe they have people that physically go to convenience stores to buy the tickets for you.

I do have some ideas of how to facilitate playing in pools without having to be geographically close to the pool manager. But, overall, the pool manager should be someone you know.
