How exactly does playing in groups increase my chances?

PS. You're gonna have a hard time marketing this idea based on the current concept.

Good question. If you are playing alone then you only have one chance (assuming you buy $1 ticket). If you play in a group of 10 or 20 people you just increased your chances by hundreds of percents. Because 10 tickets are always better than 1. Of-course, you'll be sharing the winning with others.

Hope this makes sense?

But the expected probable earning is the same in both cases.. so in the end, it's all the same, no?

I'm referring to chances for winning and not expected earnings. Expected earning more are higher if you play alone but you'll have to buy lots of ticket to have any chances of winning. JackpotBuddy provides an inexpensive way to play more tickets by joining Groups.
