I have just contacted the UK National Lottery operator (Camelot) on your behalf and they directed me to these results on their webpages. Approximately 1 in 4 (or 25%) of the jackpot wins come from people who win in a syndicate. A ticket owned by 2 or more people is judged to be a syndicate. The largest win in UK lottery history was won by a synicate of 2 friends, in total they won £22,590,829. There have been 3 instances of a syndicate winning over £20 million. These links (provided by the National Lottery operator) should help you and back up the above facts: http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/games/syndicateslanding.jsp http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/games/syndicatesNews.jsp http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/winners/facts.jsp#anchor03 If you have any further questions on UK National Lottery syndicates please ask for clarification and I will try my best to help you out. The UK National Lottery Help Desk (who are the best people to contact regarding any queries) can be contacted here: http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/about/contact.jsp Good luck with playing the lottery! |

Hilarious - they ran an advert for a while in early 2004 that shouted "1 in 4 lottery winners are part of a syndicate". This was meant to encourage you to join a syndicate. They stopped running it - I guess someone realised it means that 3 in 4 lottery winners are non-syndicate players. In other words ... treble your chances of winning by NOT joining a syndicate! |
