Has anybody heard of E-lottery?
Is it a genuine, trustworthy scheme, or is it a clever scam?

Thank you to Dave for a great explanation, however, I'm now a tad more confused! What are 'lucky stars'?

It is genuine and trustworthy but they make alot of money and you would need to do get at least two numbers before making a profit.
What they do is fairly simple. They have mini-syndicates of 39 people who each pay £5 per week. They then put one line of numbers on for the syndicate (not each player) but they do it with all 36 permutations of lucky stars.
This means each week they put on 36 lines of the same 5 main numbers but with each combination of lucky stars...
However you and 38 others pay £5 per week meaning the syndicate pays in £5 x 39 = £195.
They put on however only 36 lines @ £1.50 each = £54. So what happens to the other £141 per week???
Now to make a profit over £5 per week the syndicate would need to hit two main numbers. This gives 14 wins of 1 number and 1 star and 1 win of 2 numbers and 2 stars.
Based on last week's figures this would make each of the 39 playes around £16 (so £11 profit)
If you get only one number then you make a loss (around £3.50 of winnings each so a £1.50 loss)
If you got more than two numbers you are however going to make quite a good profit...
It does increase your overall chances of scooping the jackpot (as you have every combination of lucky star) but you have to share it with at least the other 38 people in your syndicate and anyone else that might have the same numbers.
There are 72 million combinations of all balls with both lucky stars, but by having all lucky star combinations you now only need the 5 main numbers which has a probability of 2.1 million to 1 (5c50).
So by putting £54 per week on you are improving your odds by 36 times (3600%).

Think Dave is referring to the Euromiliones lottery, where you pick 5 out of 19 numbers, then two 'stars' , wins are based on what numbers you pick in the same way as thunderball, there are 2 draws, one for the main numbers, one for the stars, getting all 5 numbers and both stars gives you a share in the £100,000,000 jackpot this week. Best lottery to get into is the 'El Gordo' in Spain, with prize money of over 2,000 million Euros, anyone can enter, no matter from where, but it is more expensive to enter from outside Spain. You can also enter loads of other lotteries on their site. I tried for the first time this week, bought 2 tickets for the Thursday lottery, and both won.

The problem here is that such lottery syndicates often advertised to folks outside the region where the lottery they play is legal. I.e., the UK national lottery ceases to be legal outside of the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man, if you read that game's rules.
Also, many countries ban foreign lotteries entirely. In the United States and Australia, playing a lottery not based within that country is a serious crime.

Did you buy a lottery ticket?
If not this is a scam. I get about five per day.
Just delete it and ignore it..

It is a scam.
they either e-mail you or send you a letter that they want you deposit a check in your account then wire the money to them and they are supposto send you your winnings but nothing ever comes. then that check bounces comes back fraud and you are stuck without winning and money taken out of your account for that faudulent check.
They sent it to me and i did research, i did deposit it but never sent the money because i wanted to make sure and yep, it was fraud.
go to this site if ever unsure. www.ripoffreport.com
