Playing PowerBall with a lottery syndicate

Curious about how a Powerball Lottery Syndicate functions? This article will clear up all the questions and concerns you have.

Read on to learn all you need to know about how it works, agreements about when and how to play and to see some Powerball Syndicate examples.

How Do Syndicates Work?

Imagine yourself and several other people buying lottery tickets. That is a LOT of people. Friends, family, and people you don't know all get-together pool their money and buy a MASSIVE amount of tickets.

As a result of buying heaps of tickets, you and everybody else have a better chance of winning the lottery.

In some groups, you might buy small, medium, or large shares. In other syndicates, everybody pools their money and buys tickets altogether. If a win happens, the jackpot is split equally.

The more people you get involved, the better your chances of winning. It is excellent for your odds but will decrease your share of the jackpot.

How Do You Start A Lotto Syndicate?

Ready to begin your own Powerball Syndicate? Here's how to start your journey to a joint Powerball effort.

• Decide what members will fund - 1 ticket each? Or, will they pay a set due?
• How often will we play?
• How many members may join? What constitutes a full group, and what is the minimum to play?

Having a solid plan will entice more members to join.

Having a balance is critical. You have to balance the cost with the odds of winning. You also have to balance out the players in each group and the jackpot size. Here are two queries to help you achieve balance:

• Is the share desirable when divided among the amount of people in my syndicate? (Consider taxes, too).
• Are the odds good? Do some division here: If the odds were 1 in 15 million, and you purchase 150 tickets, the odds are now 1 in 100,000. Is this desirable?

Next, you have to set up your syndicate and manage it.

• Keep track of members
• Keep track of who’s paid up and their paid to date
• Keep track of the numbers you play
• Keep track of any winnings

Many people do this using an Excel spreadsheet.

If you want to start a syndicate at work, be sure you speak with management first. Some workplaces do not condone gambling or gambling discussions while on the clock.

How Is Money Paid Fairly?

It is probably the most critical part of your Powerball Syndicate. Terms of the syndicate should be crystal clear to all members, so you do not run into tax/legal trouble.

You also want to make sure you keep tabs on who is paid up and who is not somebody who hasn't paid in a month could come out of the woodwork and claim to be a member once you hit pay dirt.

Be firm in that you are playing Powerball, the frequency at which you play, and how winnings are to be paid. Do not allow non-payers! Members should approach you to pay. You may have to track them down, however.

Examples of Powerball Syndicate Winners

The SEPTA 48 is another excellent example; they all chipped in $5 apiece and purchased 120 tickets for the USA Powerball valued at $173 million in 2012. Their win paid off, and they all walked away with about $2.4 million each!
