Background
Pooling Numbers is a digital platform that connects users with licensed lottery retailers, providing a secure and convenient way to request lottery tickets, participate in lottery pools, and manage winnings, all while adhering to applicable state regulations.
After creating an account with Pooling Numbers, you gain access to the Application's features, including the ability to request lottery tickets online, join lottery pools, subscribe to recurring purchases, review past and upcoming ticket orders, manage your Account settings, and explore additional services related to official state lotteries.
To access Pooling Numbers' services, you submit a request for a lottery ticket, which is processed on your behalf rather than purchased directly. Pooling Numbers acts as your designated service provider, obtaining the ticket from a licensed retailer within the appropriate jurisdiction. As the retailer's authorized agent, Pooling Numbers manages payment acceptance from Users in accordance with these Terms.
Pooling Numbers acts as a technology provider and digital courier, facilitating ticket purchases on behalf of its Users. Pooling Numbers is not a retailer; rather, it is a platform that provides downloadable applications for Users to request tickets. Through the Application, Users can request tickets from licensed retailers, verify if their tickets are eligible for prizes, view winnings, and place future orders. Pooling Numbers operates under an agreement with licensed retailers, authorizing it to act as the retailer’s agent for payment processing related to ticket purchases.
When requesting a ticket through Pooling Numbers, you are submitting a request rather than directly purchasing the ticket. Acting on your behalf, Pooling Numbers fulfills the request by securing tickets from a licensed retailer in the relevant jurisdiction. As the retailer's authorized agent, Pooling Numbers processes payments on behalf of its Users and charges a service fee, which will be disclosed before funding your account. Pooling Numbers does not charge fees on prize distributions or ticket placements.
Tickets are ordered from licensed lottery retailers before the designated drawing time, and an image of the purchased ticket will be uploaded to your Account. Pooling Numbers adheres to all state regulations to ensure timely processing of your requests. However, no acknowledgment or confirmation of a ticket request constitutes proof of a validly issued ticket. A ticket is only considered valid when generated by an official Lottery terminal authorized by the Regulator. In the rare event of a discrepancy with your ticket, you should contact customer support immediately. Resolution of such issues is at Pooling Numbers' sole discretion, and refunds will only be issued if the error was caused by Pooling Numbers.
If Pooling Numbers cannot secure your requested ticket before the official cutoff time set by the Regulator, you will receive a full refund. Pooling Numbers is not liable for paying out prizes in cases where a ticket was not successfully purchased.
Tickets and prize claims are strictly limited to registered Users who meet the eligibility criteria (at least 18 years of age). The Account holder will always be deemed the ticket holder, and the name on the ticket order must match the name on the associated Account.
Pooling Numbers imposes daily funding and ticket purchase limits per Account holder, which may be adjusted at Pooling Numbers’ sole discretion. Users can modify their daily limits through the Application or by contacting Customer Support.
By creating an account through Pooling Numbers, a licensed digital courier service to request lottery tickets, you agree to the following:
To comply with all applicable regulations established by the relevant lottery commission.
To release and hold harmless Pooling Numbers, any licensed sales agent or courier service, the State, and the lottery commission from liability for orders placed through the digital network that are not completed before the official drawing cutoff and do not result in a validly issued ticket.
That in the event of a dispute regarding whether a ticket generated through the digital network would have been a winning ticket if issued, and no prize is paid, the lottery commission may, at its discretion, replace the disputed ticket with one of equal value, which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the claimant.
Pooling Numbers reserves the right to prohibit any "excluded or prohibited persons" listed on an applicable exclusion list or excluded by the relevant Regulator from accessing or using the Application. Additionally, Pooling Numbers retains sole discretion to deny any individual or entity the ability to use the Application or open an Account.
