Get a $1 lottery ticket mailed to you in a nice cardboard box every month for only $11 dollars a year.

I wanted to sell used lottery tickets for half price. The expected value of each ticket is higher than the regular lottery and it isn't gambling.

Include some ad fliers and this could actually work.

Pretty sure this would be illegal, but as a resident of a state where I cannot buy a lottery ticket, I'll buy.

May be peer to peer lottery tickets as service. I have heard friends/colleagues used potlucked money to buy tickets and if they win share the prize. Have a service for it with nice Web 2.0ish dashboard :P
