Lottery Syndicate

[sawtooth]

This year 4 of us have decided to club together and form a small syndicate. 2 lines on every Friday ,Saturday ,Wednesday and Tuesday draws.

As syndicate manager I have just purchased £64 worth of tickets online to see us up to the end of January. I won next to nothing doing it individually for about 15 years so thought why not give it a try. Camelot says 25% of jackpot winners are syndicates so heres hoping.

Anyone on here part of a syndicate? Any winners?, near misses? hard luck stories?

Your right.im in the process of starting one myself.
Also lucky dips are the way to go.
Individually I have been doing 2 lines since it started and have never changed my numbers.
£84 is the most ive ever won.

Yes part of one at work, I think we have 30 in the syndicate, quite often I get an e mail saying we have won £25, waiting for the big one! My missus organises one at her work with 12 in it, she has a right battle sorting the payments out as some just are a right pain keeping up to date.

You have to be in it to win it. My OH pocketted £20k over Christmas in one of the lottery raffles.

New driver time for me!

We stopped our 6 man syndicate when the price doubled. We never missed a draw Wednesday and Saturday since the lottery started, we had a good few £10 wins, 1 win of £400 for 5 numbers on a Wednesday night, I also stopped my twice a week individual.

It can get complicated with tax if you win as a syndicate. Think theirs something you can do when setting the syndicate up so you don't get screwed.
Might be worth looking into.

Make sure you get the paperwork sorted.

Sort of yes. I applied for a syndicate pack from Camelot but haven't see anything come through yet. So I printed their syndicate form of and have 3 people so far complete it. Its with the 4th person who needs to return it to me so I can get it signed by a witness. In the meantime everyone has been sent the tickets with a covering email.

Even though the 4 of us are close I think its better to have than not, just to put other peoples mind at rest. I'll be OK because I am the one buying the tickets:rofl:

you will need it for tax reasons apart from other legal issues.

Wife won £33k 2 years ago and the syndicate won £1m in total.

What's hers is mine and all that...

I run a small 6 person one at work but since the price went up we now play the Irish one instead. We play all three draws Wednesday and Saturday but only 3 numbers only need one win a year to get your money back however we're never going to be able to retire off it.

 

[LewisR]

in a group of 14 at work that seems to win the small amount near enough every week. My 3 man one that i run with my 2 mates never seems to have any luck

When I did a syndicate some years ago, to avoid problem payers, I just did a number of set weeks and took the lump payment by a certain date. If anyone hadn't paid they wern't in - simple!

My brother was in a small syndicate with his wifes family, they shared a 5 million jackpot which was 1.25M each.
This was back in 2001 so I asked for a Lotus Elise for xmas he got me a toy BMW Z3

10 of us at work got 5 and a bonus ball back in 2007, we got £97k, £9700 just before our wedding, nice new car for us.

£97k when you were so close to millions is a bit of a kick in nuts. Still £9700 is better than nothing.
Think it was 4 & bonus I had 1yr,if my mrs had been born 1 day earlier I'd have won £110k

The 10 of us were well chuffed. How much did 4 and a bonus get?

Looked either side of our win to see what 5 and a bonus got and there were pretty similar, there was a 200k once when a only couple won. The syndicate has doubled in size now though.

 

[webclinician]

Your syndicates seem to winning more than me. There are 160 of us in sub groups and play around £2400 a month with only 4 numbers at the most.
If there is anyone running a syndicate here then I am more than happy to join. No point playing on our own since the price of the ticket doubled.
