A few weeks ago in my post about the Doorways to Dreams Fund, I said that state run lotteries are probably one of the worst things that our governments have done to us (and I actually won $2,000 on a scratch off ticket once). Whether I’m right or wrong, people like to play–it brings excitement to their lives. If you’re going to play, you might as well do it right. Shoutz can help you do that. They’re an Austin, TX and Kansas City, KS based “technology company dedicated to making lotteries more convenient, engaging and rewarding.” They can’t put the odds in your favor, but I guess they can help you get more out of every ticket that you buy.

What Are the Odds?

As far as I know, online gambling is completely illegal in the U.S. Maybe one day you’ll be able to buy lotto tickets on your computer, tablet, or phone, but for now you’ll have to settle for checking your numbers through Shoutz’s LotteryHUB app. It looks like a really cool way to keep track of your playing. Shoutz also offers a couple of promotional mobile games that offer the chance to win prizes (without betting). Even if Shoutz can’t get a piece of the action, they’re building a very interesting business. People who play the lottery are a valuable demographic for advertisers, and Shoutz allows you to reach them. If you’re interested in what Shoutz is doing in the lottery industry, check out their Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for a Graphic Designer in Austin and Android, iOS, and C# Developers in Kansas City. They also offer a variety of internships.
