not long enough

It pretty much covers everything apart from jackpots already , I was surprised at the breakdown of prizes no wonder we rarely get prizes that even pay for the 4 line ticket

What £3,00 limit???

Do you mean £3,000 as in the point where prize money would be split amongst all? If so keep as is as that will generally cover the extremely lucky event that a ticket actually matches 5 correct numbers.

I'm not sure what this vote is for, can someone explain. Thanks
Hi Jim

A syndicate member wanted to raise the limit of £3,000 which at this point is when winnings are shared equally amongst the syndicate.

So saying if it was raised to £10,000 and someone won £9,999 they would not have to share it out it would be all theirs.

Cheers Wayne

Hi kannon fodda

Yes that is what it means, was enquired about raising it above the £3,000 mark.

Cheers Wayne

I started the syndicate, John kindly ran it for me. Initially, we settled upon the £3k because, divvying money up would be a pain and not worth it unless it was over £50 each. We'd get around 50 to 60 players, so we settled on the £3k limit. We have similar numbers now, and I don't see a reason to change it.

Let's say you've been playing for a number of years and a syndicate member won £9999 and the rules said they could keep it, that, could be almost £200 that each syndicate member is missing out on, that would probably cover all the tickets they had bought.

At £3K it's hardly worth the effort and cost to divvy it up, over that, then members should have a chance to at least get their money back, so while I'm happy that syndicate members vote on the minimum, I'll vote no change as I think It's set about right.

NO.
