Invitation to Join
You are invited to join one or more of Mario's lottery groups. There are 10 regular groups to choose from. The groups buy tickets whenever the Lotto 649 jackpot is at least $20 million or the Lotto Max jackpot is $50 million. The regular groups are subscription based at a cost of $10 per share per month. On occasion, temporary groups are started to play Lotto 649 or other lotteries when the jackpots are large. You can get on the mailing list to be informed when a new temporary group is available. Please read the FAQ for more information.

There are no administration or hidden fees. There are no referral bonuses. Unlike most other online lottery groups, you do not get free tickets to encourage your friends to join. This is not a pyramid scheme. All monies collected are used to buy tickets. All prizes are either distributed to members or used to buy more tickets.
