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

It may seem unusual but some now consider lotteries to be a good way to earn an income, assuming the correct method is employed. A sizable number of individuals play a lottery every week and, in the UK alone, 70% of the populace now play regularly.

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’ve got better opportunities to win from the smaller prizes. I have even seen it suggested that one can receive regular amounts inside 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 whole new level. In 2002, Len Fitzgerald and Tom Brodie created the Elottery idea which plays the UK lottery draw, the European lottery and a few other draws. Now members hail from 127 different countries all around the globe.

The Elottery business as well as 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 in their chances of winning any prize within the UK lottery 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 gives you an ongoing and regular income.

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

Indeed, the parent company seems committed to giving members full support. This consists of not just the personalized website but customer support, promotional material, email marketing campaigns, online marketing support and payment processing. All these functions are handled for each member.

Other perhaps unexpected benefits are to be found as soon as you delve just 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 a year there’s a draw where one individual wins a vehicle. Every week too there is a ‘Grab-A-Grand’ draw where one lucky person wins Ł1000. Interestingly, the individual that brought that winner in to the business also takes home Ł1000. Also it may be of use to be aware that the company have suggested these prizes shall increase as time goes on.
