Catchalotto is an online lottery syndicate manager (aka lottery club manager) allowing lottery players to join in and form syndicates for UK National lottery main Lotto draw. Lottorino is a proprietary system of Catchalotto allowing players to choose a lottery combination that meets randomness criteria (see below).
The idea of syndication is an old one. For many decades, people formed syndicates with their family, friends, colleagues in order to achieve a common goal of winning the lottery. Nowadays, Camelot Group reports that 1 in 4 jackpot wins belong to a syndicate.
It is however not an easy job to keep a lottery syndicate running. Someone has to choose combinations to play as well as when to play them, collect the money from participants, not to forget to actually play the combinations chosen, keep the tickets safe, then check the winnings, calculate everyone's winnings share, distribute the winnings and so on. Camelot Group publishes statistics on unclaimed prizes, and it is truly astounding how many winning tickets are not cashed in! The highest unclaimed prize to date was a winning ticket worth £9,476,995 which expired on 2 January 2006. This ticket was the 24th prize in excess of one million pounds to be unclaimed!! Tickets do get lost/misplaced/forgotten about!
Catchalotto allows a lottery player to become part of a lottery syndicate with a click of a button, leaving all administrative problems behind. An old idea of syndication has been adapted to fit new times.
Each Catchalotto syndicate can be seen online and has its own syndicate agreement. A member joins a syndicate when he/she wants, and chooses a combination he/she wants to play. There are no restrictions as Catchalotto has the technological capability for its lotto syndicates to be what its members want it to be. There are no longer lost/misplaced/forgotten winnings either - these are calculated and distributed automatically into syndicate's members' accounts.
What's more, Catchalotto has developed Lottorino - a software tool that recognises various patterns within a lottery combination. Say 1-2-3-4-5-6. It may have the same probability of being drawn as any other combination, BUT combinations like that are played by many people hence the jackpot-pie is expected to be split into many slices. Lottorino evaluates each combination against such patterns and assigns a score. Any combination with a score above 70% is considered to be a good one to play, e.g. no bias/patterns found.
Catchalotto is all about reducing lottery odds by becoming part of a syndicate AND by playing unique combinations that pass Lottorino test.
