What is Share50?
Share50 is an open pot for one draw: add any number of bets and, if one wins, you keep half of its prize and the rest is shared among everyone.
How Share50 works
All Share50 participants choose their own numbers and add bets for the same draw. Each player keeps 50% of any prize their own bets win, and the other 50% goes into a shared fund. That fund is then shared among all participants in proportion to the number of bets each one added.
This means even if your own bets don't win, you still benefit if someone else in the Share50 does.
- 1The Share50 has 100 bets in total. You added 3 of them.
- 2One of your bets wins €1,000. You keep €500 (50%) and the other €500 goes into the shared fund.
- 3The shared fund is split by bets: €500 ÷ 100 bets = €5 per bet, so your 3 bets get €15.
- 4Your total: €500 + €15 = €515.
Is Share50 right for me?
It depends on what you're looking for. If you want more chances of winning something, even if it means sharing a big prize, Share50 is a great option. You have far more chances of getting a share of a jackpot than playing alone.
If you'd rather go for the full prize on your own and accept lower chances, playing individually may suit you better.
There's no right or wrong answer. Many players do both: play individually with their lucky numbers and join a Share50 for the big jackpot draws.
