| Lotto Syndicates have been for a long time a very popular way for friends and coworkers to gather their resources and share in the fantastic advantages available through international lottery draws. Although syndicates often winsubstantial sums of money through their joint efforts, their good fortuneis rarely reported in the press as it makes far more readable copy to focus on an single person who has acquired a life-altering sum. However, with as many as 1 in 4 lotto Jackpots won by syndicate entries, two in every 3 people who are lottery winners actually belong to a syndicate. The world record for a single lottery win is held by an American syndicate of 8 colleagues from a Nebraska meat processing plant, whojointly won $365,000,000 in February 2006 on the Powerball Lottery, but there are also some fantastic stories about more recent syndicate winners much closer to home.
In May 2008, the e-Lottery syndicate – the UKs largest online syndicate organisation – bought the winning ticket which won £88,748 on the UK Lotto and generated £1,811 for each of the syndicate players. Less than 18 months previously, the organisation had celebrated the Uks biggest organised syndicate win of £135,296 – distributing £2,761 to each of that syndicate´s players. 1 month later, in June 2008, a 16 member syndicate from County Carlow in Ireland won the second largest ever Irish Lottery Jackpot of €18,963,441 – with each player instantly becoming rich. But even this fantastic win is overshadowed by the syndicate lottery win of a syndicate of IT workers in Liverpool in November 2009. The seven colleagues formed part of Hewlett Packards project team in Merseyside, and ironically had only entered the Euro Millions due to a win the previous week on the aforementioned Irish Lottery. Their Lucky Dip entry was one of two winning tickets that won a £91 million rollover EuroMillions Jackpot – with each player of the syndicate winning an amazing £6,500,000! Although the big news stories are the ones which grab the attention, professional lottery syndicates pay out many thousands of pounds each week to their players. Lottery syndicates offer an advantage of up to 733% over individuals playing the UK Lotto and up to an incredible 3600% in the Euro Millions Lottery – effectively increasing your chances of landing a cash prize down from 1 in 103 to just 1 in 3! Joining an professional lottery syndicate is not only a potentially profitable alternative for people who like to play multiple lines on the UK National Lottery or EuroMillions draw, but with the growing popularity of entering lotteries as part of a syndicate, it is not going to be very long before another huge jackpot is won by a very lucky syndicate. |
