Syndicates (playing in a group)

To increase your chances of winning, you and your friends or family can play National Lottery games as part of a syndicate. It is sensible to have a written syndicate agreement. (If you do not have such an agreement you may be taxed on your winnings.) Guidelines on how to set up and run a syndicate can be found online at www.national-lottery.co.uk or in a free syndicate pack available from the National Lottery Line on 0845 9 100 000.
