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 earn money.

It may seem unusual but some now consider lotteries to be a great way to earn a salary, assuming the right method is employed. A large amount of people play a lottery every week and, in the UK alone, 70% of the people now play on a regular basis.

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 possibilities to win from the smaller prizes. I have even seen it suggested that one can receive regular amounts in this way, making lotteries almost as good an investment as the currency markets 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, situs toto the European lottery and a few other draws. Now members hail from 127 different countries all over the globe.

The syndicates are organized in groups of 49 which gives members an amazing 733% improvement within their chances of winning any prize within the UK lottery draw and an astounding 3600% in the European lottery, Euro millions.

You can 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 together with personal support and online seminars (weekly) and offline seminars several times each year.

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

Other perhaps unexpected benefits are to be found when you delve just a little deeper. Most activities within the business earn you 'Golden Ticket' points for which you will discover regular draws for a number of useful prizes and once a year there's a draw where an individual wins an automobile. Every week too there's a 'Grab-A-Grand' draw where one lucky person wins Ł1000. Interestingly, the person that brought that winner into the business also takes home Ł1000. Also it may be of use to note that the company have suggested these prizes shall increase as time goes on.
