Lottery - Playing In A Syndicate

Why not have a bit of fun and play the Lottery with your work colleagues. Increase your chance of winning a prize and support a local good cause.

It's so easy to play…

• Just draw up a group of members (Each member must be 16 years or over)
• Decide how much each member wishes to pay per week (£1 per chance) and the percentage of any prize each member would be entitled to.
• Appoint a person to manage the group to whom any prize money will be paid. Responsibilities to include:
  - collecting money on a monthly basis
  - keeping a payment record for each member
  - purchasing chances for the group
  - distributing the winnings…. 
   

Agreeing to play...

Before you start playing it is best to draw up an agreement including the following:

The date the agreement was drawn up

A list of group members

• The Group Manager's name
• The amount each member will pay per draw and the corresponding %share of any prize.
• A statement of what happens if a member fails to pay on time.
• The agreement should be signed and dated by each group member and witnessed
• If the group changes a new agreement should be drawn up
• Copies should be given to each member and the original kept in a safe place.
  

How to purchase your chances...

• Make a note of how many chances your group is playing each week.
• Complete a Lottery Application Form in the name of the Group Manager.
  The form will ask you:
  - How you want to pay; standing order, cheque, credit card.
  - How many weeks you want to play for.

If you win!

• We will automatically send a cheque to the Group Manager and the address provided on the Lottery Application Form.
• It is then down to the Group Manager to divide the winnings as per the Group Playing Agreement.
