  Playing the lotteries though a syndicate is a good way to give your money to someone you don't know and never will see and pay them a fee for taking your money.  The syndicates I've seen don't work like the pools you form with co-workers and family members, they are businesses that take your money, pick your numbers, buy some tickets(maybe) and make a nice profit and all operate outside the jurisdictions of the courts. There is no reason that makes any sense for a person to give his money to someone he will never see to be in a pool of people he will never see to buy tickets he will never see to win a prize he will never see.  If a person wouldn't trust his co-workers and family, who he sees all the time , enough to form a pool, why would he be dumb enough to trust a syndicate?

  No syndicates but a group formed of family or a few close friends is fine.  But a person would have to make sure everything was on paper..regardless because MONEY makes some people into monsters.  I am waiting for the TN lottery so I can join a group.

  If you know your number is going to hit, have patience and then KILL IT!

  You never know when you will get another hit.

  i think i'd rather play the lottery alone. in theory, a syndicate would expose me to more sets of numbers per draw, but the trade off would be the nagging worry of what happens if or when a prize is won. life would be so much easier to cash in a ticket by myself (whatever the prize amount). besides, i really don't need a syndicate...it only takes one ticket to win at lotto ;-)

  ... the lottery never fails to surprise!

  ride that horse by yourself all the way to the mutha lump.

  then you will have control over the "reins" as all those wild horses that surround you are trying to kick you to death.

  then you give a lump of sugar to the ones that are nice and watch how the ones who are bad turn into glue.

  (sorry. i am prone to making stuff up,  but you get the idea)

  I play alone. I figure if i win i'd have enough family members and friends on the trust as is. why add to it people you barely know if at all. lottery syndicates on the other hand are total scams.
