This would seem a strange time to be considering starting a business, as the financial situation is still uncertain. But some businesses actually do better in such a climate as people look for alternative ways to earn money.

It may seem unusual but some now consider lotteries to be a great way to earn a wage, assuming the proper method is employed. A large number of people play a lottery every week and, in the UK alone, 70% of the populace now play on a regular basis.

You need to remember of course that a lottery is still a lottery with the low prospects of winning the very best prize. However if you join a syndicate the odds are reduced considerably.

Obviously you are still unlikely to win the jackpot but as a member of a syndicate you have better opportunities to win from the smaller prizes. I have even seen it suggested that you may receive regular amounts in this way, making lotteries almost as good an investment as the stock market in these difficult times.

The Elottery business takes this idea to a new level. In 2002, Len Fitzgerald and Tom Brodie created the Elottery idea which plays the UK lottery draw, the European lottery and also a few other draws. Now members hail from 127 different countries all over the globe.

The Elottery business and the syndicates involved have succeeded for seven reasons:

The business costs nothing to join.

The syndicates are organized in groups of 49 which gives members an amazing 733% improvement within their chances of winning any prize within the UK bookie lottery online; my response, draw and an astounding 3600% in the European lottery, Euro millions.

You may build a of group of players and earn a commission every time one of those players plays the lottery. Of course this provides you with an ongoing and regular income.

There is extensive training to be found on the Elottery website along with personal support and online seminars (weekly) and offline seminars several times over a year.

Indeed, the parent company seems committed to giving members full support. This includes not only the personalized website but customer support, promotional material, e-mail marketing campaigns, online marketing support and payment processing. All these functions are handled for each member.

Other perhaps unexpected benefits are to be found when you delve a little deeper. Most activities within the business earn you ‘Golden Ticket’ points for which there are regular draws for several useful prizes and once annually there is a draw where an individual wins an automobile. Every week too there is a ‘Grab-A-Grand’ draw where one lucky person wins Ł1000. Interestingly, the person that brought that winner into the business also takes home Ł1000. Also it may be of use to be aware that the company have suggested these prizes will increase as time goes on.
