1) How do I check this weeks winning numbers?
- You can find the winning numbers at the ARD television
station's videotext five minutes after they are drawn (19:50 German time)
every Saturday night. Click here to see this weeks results!
2) When do I get paid my winnings / commissions?
- WINNINGS are paid monthly/ Agency COMMISSIONS are paid
monthly-You get two different checks.
- Each month, every player gets a letter with the winning
numbers and a settlement check for the winnings.
- Also each month, Agents receive a commission check for
their sales and for their organization's sales. Commissions are paid on
sales made up to 14 days before the first Saturday of each month. Sales
missing the cut off time will be posted to the following months commissions.
Agents must be active members of the pool to participate.
3) Do I get paid in Dollars?
- Not yet, the winnings are paid in D-Marks, but most banks
allow for deposits of D-mark and you can deposit the checks the same as
you would Dollars. Banks normally post at the exchange rate of the day
of deposit. As more US/Canadian citizens begin to join the pool, the company
will make payment in Dollars available.
4) What if I want to quit?
- Just notify the company. But you will no longer be a
partner and will not be eligible for your own agency.
5) Do I win something every month?
- That is the best part. By buying so many tickets and
wheeling a fixed group of numbers the pool is guaranteed to win at least
something and has much greater odds of winning the big prizes. A complete
outline of the program and guaranteed winnings is in the players section
on this site.
6) What is the "Super Support site"?
- You gain access when you become a member. You get your
own complete site like this one, a complete online genealogy for your members,
complete tracking for your site, instant notification when someone joins,
and much more.
- By tracking, we mean not only how many visited your site,
but who visited your site and what site that they came from. This lets
you know how your advertising is working. What sites and advertisements
are bringing in the most visits.
- The Super Support site also contains a directory that
has "hot-links" to several hundred free places to advertise your
agency and even a multiple submission link to submit 200+ at one time -
all for free! It is available through the Super Support Site to members.
7) Do I pick my own numbers?
- Not at the moment. It is planned that every one can pick
9 of the 12 numbers. Now, all numbers are based on a computer analyze that
figure out the combinations according to the past drawings and the winning
quotes. (This is important, cause in Germany the winnings for each Lotto
class are depending on how many people have won.) You still know in advance
what numbers will be played, so the excitement is still tremendous, but
part of being in a pool is not winning all of the money each week but you
can expect winnings at least every 2 weeks.
8) What if I do not have a credit card?
- You can prepay twelve weeks at a time ($ US 100.00).

with the form to:
