Pool Keeper
An AI manager for lottery pools — tracks who paid, auto-generates number combinations, scans tickets after the draw, and tells the organizer exactly who owes whom if the group wins.
office managers and friend-group organizers running weekly LOTTO 6/49 pools
- Member roster with paid/unpaid status per draw, with gentle reminders
- Quick-pick generator that avoids repeating combinations you've already played
- Ticket-photo scan that auto-matches against winning 6/49 numbers and reports wins per member
- Fair-split calculator that handles unequal contributions and shared tickets
