So how many tickets have you all bought for tonight? Seen queue of people in my local shop spending fortunes each, numerous people spending over £20 a time.
I have 5 lines, usually have a couple, but had a tenner in my wallet so thought sod it.
It got me thinking earlier, why have we never had a CS lottery syndicate? I dont do any syndicates, as i work with about 5 people who have no interest in the lottery, so dont have anyway of joining a decent sized bunch. If anyone wants to have a CS one, id happily run it, i think ive been here long enough to be known as trustworthy. Id like to hope so anyway!
Good luck who ever has entered!
Edit** Should have said its an estimated £126 million

because even though you say you are trustworthy its easy to be fucked over if it ever won money, places of work now even say you should sign a contract to play lottery.

Yea, Id happily set up a contract to cover things.
Im just pissed off i cant increase the amount of lines involved without forking out loads of cash, as i dont have a group to join at work etc.

only takes one combination of 5+2 numbers to win.
you can spend thousands and some old cunt wins it with a £2 lucky dip.

Id happily run it, even if its just 2 or 3 people.
I think it would be best if it was paid in advance like £16 for 8 draws (4 weeks)
Or even just weekly, but that would be more hassle as people would foget to pay etc.

This is very true, and happens.
Id still rather have ten chances for the price of one. Imagine a £126 million win between 10 people, still life changing at 12.6 million each lol
I dont think a normal lottery syndicate with large numbers is worth it now, prizes would be so low after sharing it out.

Ok Gary, just me and you so far lol.
Winnings from smaller prizes? Dished out 4 weekly, so that people who miss a 4 week slot dont benefit if saved for the year and dished out etc? Or if under x amount used to payfor the next 4 weeks and peoples payments reduced?
As barnshaw is telling me, its hassle and a nightmare to run, but im full of spare time, and if set up properly from the off, it would be easy

As ive just mentioned with Gary via u2u, sorting anything official will be a chore before tonights draw.
So anyone who wants to join me and gary for tonights draw, u2u me and ill send you payment details. £2 for tonight only. any winnings ill paypal gift it back divided equally, unless its £126million, we will go collect it together, and ill use a portion of my winnings to get us all there in style (we can all have dreams)

You'd need a lot more than a few people to increase your odds by any significant amount.

You would though, 30:13000000 or whatever it is isn't much better than 2:13000000.
