I wonder how much profit that would be for us? Here in Florida the stores selling tickets only make 5¢ on each $1 of ticket sold.

It'd have to be 50/50 or else we'd all be bitching - LOL

Just start a numbers site like that grandmother in Ohio did. :)

It uses the lottery numbers which she cannot control and she was making tens of thousands of dollars every month..... until she got caught.

Yes, Lottery brings in $.05 per dollar to the establishment, and big winnings do get a 'referral' bonus. In Florida there was a recent scandal about the scratch-n-win tickets.

But spokesperson Leslie Steele defended the practice of the Lottery Commission saying, "Everyone doesn't play scratch off games for the half a million dollars. Our players play for the entertainment and the good products and services we offer."

What a business to be in. I'd love it.

http://www.tradesports.com/ is my current favorite. If they only knew how to educate people, I think they would be making a LOT more money.
