I wouldn’t say ‘overlooking’ Floating 5, as they just added this new feature…

But as this page is getting rather long, here’s my review of Xzotto Floating 5

There is one aspect of the Xzotto system that you are overlooking. The floating 5 feature gives you a chance at a 5% share of each and every prize that the entire Xzotto Lottery Pool generates.

From the first day you join Xzotto you have the chance to win on your own ticket (at 175,000,000 to 1) AND you have the chance to win a 5% share of prizes won by the other 3,000+ players.

Xzotto – you join, you pay $25 per month – you get NOTHING.

Lottery pool – you join, you pay $25, you instantly get 50 times the chance of winning the lottery. That’s what a lottery pool is!

If there are 3000 members of Xzotto then 3000 “nobody’s” must see the value.

When I was approached about Xzotto it wasn’t “make money selling this software”, it was “Do you want to join a lottery pool?” If I purchase 8 tickets a month and that gives me a chance at sharing in 30,000 tickets that increases my chances to win something.

There may be 3000 people promoting Xzotto but none of them are actually promoting the software. They are all promoting ‘make money selling this software’ – it’s like a chain letter!

You say the software is good but nobody is promoting the software, nobody is buying the software, and nobody is using the software. It’s a house of cards. Mary Kay, Avon and Sprint have products of value people actually buy because they want the products. Massive, massive difference.

If people instantly want 25 times the chance of winning the lottery, they can spend their $25 on lottery tickets instead. Infinitely better value. Or join a real lottery pool.

Xzotto sucks.

You can see some general information about the software and its applications in the videos provided on the website. For more information you are encouraged to contact the representative whose site you have landed on or the company main site.

There are over 3000 people currently promoting Xzotto and its software sales. Many companies, Mary Kay, Avon, Sprint, to name a few started as direct sales companies. Xzotto is taking that same approach.

I do understand your point about keeping the winnings. Anyone would rather have $10,000 than $5,000 given the option.

So why is there nowhere on the Xzotto site I can see the software and what it can do (even after the site has just been totally redesigned again)?

Why is nobody promoting the actual software? And where can I go to join one of the pools that these thousands of eager lottery pool managers have set up themselves..?

RE: 2
You’re really missing the critical point here. If I buy a ticket in a store and I win $10,000 – I get to keep $10,000. If I buy a ticket as a ‘free’ member with Xzotto, I only get to keep $5,000..!

Why on earth would I care about the seven people etc, I want keep MY winnings! If it’s a pool you share, that’s cool. But it’s not a pool when I buy the tickets and somebody else keeps half my winnings!? That’s just dumb.

Re: 1
There is value in the software. It will collect money from all members, purchase tickets for all members, scan and distribute all tickets for members, track all winnings for members, distribute all winnings for members into an IPS account. If I was to do all of the above myself, lets say it would take me 1 hour per drawing. That’s eight hours per month. Lets say my time is worth $25 an hour, running my own pool now costs me $200 per month.

Re: 2
If I purchase a lottery ticket through the Xzotto alliance without signing up for the software, and you purchase a ticket without signing up for the software and your ticket wins $1o,000,000. You get 5,000,000 dollars, the seven people above you get $1,000,000 dollars, and I as well as two other people in the entire alliance get $1,000,000 dollars just for having a ticket in the pool.

Over simplified… but what’s not simple about Xzotto?

RE: 1
So you’re agreeing with me?! There is no real value in the $25 a month, it’s just acceptable losses till you find enough other people to cover your $25, and then they have to do the same, etc. So nobody would actually be happy just paying the $25, as you don’t really get anything for it? (At least I could give the Zac Efron posters to my niece )

RE: 2
Er, exactly. If you want to run your own lottery pool, you have to find the members – so why bother paying $25 a month to Xzotto for that? If you don’t want to run a pool, but actually want a better chance of winning, you join an existing pool. Without being charged $25 a month. So again, why do you need Xzotto?

RE: Mega Millions Tickets
Any real Mega Millions lottery pool would offer that benefit cheaper, if you desperately wanted to play that game (see Chances of Winning Mega Millions? on that point though!). But there are also plenty of websites that will sell anyone Mega Millions tickets at inflated prices that are still way cheaper than using Xzotto. I know Xzotto say face value – but it’s either a) face value plus half your winnings, or b) face value plus $25 per month.

RE: Suck Reason 1
$25 a month is a lot for software. Yet $25 a month is not a lot to invest in a business opportunity, especially when you can recover that expense easily by promoting your business. Many on-line business opportunities require an auto ship of product that you must sell to recover your expenses. None that I have found for as little as $25, most are in the hundreds.

RE: Suck Reason 2
As a member of Xzotto I have personally had team members placed on my team that I did not ask to join. Here is the important part, if I work at an office and decide to start an office lottery pool, what do I do? I ASK people if they want to join. A lottery pool with one person is not a lottery pool, you have to get other people involved. The more people you ASK to join the better your chances to win.

My father once flew from Tulsa OK to Pittsburg PA to purchase $500 worth of tickets for an office pool. Xzotto lets people purchase tickets for Mega Millions even if it is not offered in their state. Just an added benefit.
