There
are times
when youve
got to look up
to the power
of One
and there
are times when
you just have
to say Team. When talking of lotteries,
you increase your chances of
winning manifold when you participate
in an e-lottery syndicate.
An
online syndicate harnesses the power of the internet
to enable
people participating in
a lottery to win more frequently. This happens
because when you purchase
a lottery via
a syndicate, you automatically make yourself
eligible for the winnings of other members. In essence you
are entering
a given lottery draw multiple times at no extra
cost. Thus, your chances of
winning increase exponentially.
Of course, the winnings
are split between the
participants. So, an e-lottery syndicate
is basically a trade-off between
a potentially huge lottery win
against better chances of winning a smaller packet
Syndicates
can span many
countries; for example Virtual World Direct (VWD),
which runs a syndicated effort
for the
Euro Millions lottery, is
available to
citizens from Belgium,
France, Spain, Austria, Ireland, Portugal,
Switzerland, and Luxembourg. The vast player
population along with the combined lotteries of
different nations makes Euro Millions the
biggest bumper lottery system out there.
By
becoming a member of an e-lottery syndicate you get access to
some of the largest tax-free lotteries in the world. Membership is
easy; all that is required is a computer with an internet connection and a credit
card. With an e-lottery syndicate you do not need to
keep purchasing tickets every week and visit your lottery seller for
checking results. The whole system is computerized and when you win you are intimated by email. You do not have to go anywhere to collect your winnings, they are sent to your house.
There are several online resources which review e-lottery syndicates. You can
refer these
before you decide upon the syndicate most suited to your
style and pocket. Membership fees
may vary and the
number of participants in a
group can
also differ. You should also check for member reviews
on different online forums, inputs from your
countrymen can
be especially revealing. Check for the kind of customer service and back-office
support offered by the syndicate. Of course, scams abound and you should
be alert and not fall prey to
anything that
sounds too good to be true.
Two popular lottery syndicates are the UK
National Lottery syndicate and Euro Millions syndicate
run by VWD. The UK
National Lottery syndicate consists of multiple groups with 49
members in
each group. So, the winnings in a group are shared by 49 members. With just 5, you make yourself
eligible to winning against 88 lines that open every week. The
money is to be paid
4 weeks in advance. The draw
occurs twice a week. The VWU Euro Millions syndicate has 39 members to a group and there are 36 lines in each draw.
Finally, you could also take a look at the range of
software available for lottery and gaming enthusiasts. This includes syndicate management software for
syndicates, entry management software, and lottery analysis software for the players.
