How many is really up to you; syndicates can be as large or as small as you want. Winning syndicates in the past have ranged from small family syndicates to entire company divisions. It doesn t really matter who is in your syndicate, either, provided they are over 18 years old and are serious about committing to the lottery syndicate The next step is to select or nominate a Syndicate Manager. This is the person whose responsibility it will be to collect the money from all syndicate members every week and then bet on the lottery on their behalf. You will therefore need to ensure your choice of Syndicate Manager is someone who is trustworthy, punctual and very well organised.
