I never understood pools? Its $2 a ticket. Why split that?

Pooling their money to buy more tickets supposedly to increase the odds of winning, but it’s only an infinitesimal improvement of the odds.

Because 12 people in a pool can kick in $4/a piece and get $48 dollars printed in as few tickets as possible to increase the odds per ticket of a higher payout.
