How it works

A lottery pool is a group of players who chip in together for a big block of tickets and split whatever those tickets win. We run the whole thing for you.

1

Choose a pool

On the Pools page pick a game (Powerball or Mega Millions), a budget and a group size. Each row shows how many tickets are in the pool and what your share costs.

New here? The starter promo gives you a share of a 30-ticket pool for just $3.

2

We buy the tickets

Once your pool fills, we purchase every ticket from an authorised lottery retailer before the draw closes. Originals are held securely on file.

3

See every line

Log in to view a scan or list of every ticket in each of your pools. You’ll also get a welcome email with your account details and tips.

4

Check your results

After the draw, your results page highlights matching numbers and winning lines automatically — no squinting at tickets.

5

Collect your share

Prizes are divided equally between the shares in a pool and credited to your RedStar balance. Use it to play again or request a withdrawal.

6

Play again — or don’t

There’s no subscription. Every order is a one-off unless you choose to set up a repeat pool.

A worked example

What a share looks like

50players share a pool
200tickets in that pool
1/50of every prize is yours

If one of those 200 tickets wins a $50,000 prize, each of the 50 shares receives $1,000. If it hits the jackpot, each share gets 1/50th of it. All amounts are before any applicable taxes.
