Euro millions results on Friday 9th May generated a shocking historic result. A single very lucky ticket holder from Spain has just won the jackpot winning a massive 126.23 million euro (£113,229,891). This is the biggest jackpot in the 5 year history of the euro millions lottery draw breaking the previous record set four years ago by a woman from Ireland.

The lucky Spaniard picked the 7 numbers – but no-one else in the World did – meaning they were the one and only winner. There has been larger jackpots in Euro millions history but these have always been shared between several ticket holders. This huge single win is mathematical stand intact for along time, with the ticket holder beating odds of 76 million to one to cliam the jackpot

The previous record holder for the biggest Euro millions was Dolores McNamara of Ireland, who won a jackpot of GBP 77 million in July 2005.

The largest UK jackpot winner was from Scotland (Glasgow), the lucky winner that time being Angela Kelly, who won her £35.4 million EuroMillions jackpot just less than 2 years ago back in August 2007. Angela still holds the status of being the biggest lottery winner in history of the United Kingdom. .

To win the lottery you need to be extremely lucky – the exact odds of winning the top prize is 1 in 76,275,360 – the lucky euro millions jackpot winner needing to match the 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 and then choose the “lucky star” numbers from 1 to 9.

“These Euro millions jackpots have generated unprecedented world wide interest” said Ken McLeod a lottery syndicate organiser “people have been clamouring to grab a piece of the action and now they can buy their Euro Lottery tickets online from almost any where in the world”.

Ken demonstrated further how the syndicate system not only drastically cut the odds of winning but also guaranteed the “lucky star” numbers in every draw, thereby meaning you only had to get 5 numbers correct to win not the full seven.

Euromillions players who want to take advantage of this unique syndicate system are advised to review the Euro Lottery website and join prior to the next Fridays draw.

Problems With Lottery Syndicates 0

Lottery Syndicates are a double edged sword. The have some major advantages and also some downsides.

The main strength they have is that the syndicate can greatly increase their chances of winning. The disadvantage is that they must share the earnings with all that are included in the lottery syndicate.

This poses a question, what exactly is a lottery syndicate?

Lottery syndicates are when any collective of people pool their resources for the lottery. This can include a family, or even co-workers.

This means that were one person can buy a lottery ticket, a group of like minded people could buy a hundred..This hughly increases the chances of winning. But the down side in lottery syndicates is that the winnings are dispersed among the group.But imagine if you won 50 Million in the Euro Millions Lottery – I am sure you would prefer having a percentage of this, how about 1.2 million, than nothing!

Lottery syndicates have been around for many years and have are very popular in Europe. This is especially true in the UK, where there are official syndicates that manage the funds and have each member contracted so that there are no arguements when the syndicate wins.

One country where syndicates are not common is the USA. The main reason for this is that each of the seperate states have their own lottery with only a few lotteries being available in multiple states. The lottery that is available in the greatest number of states is the Powerball and also to a lesser degree Megamillions.

This makes lottery syndicates not very common in the USA but which there is a big demand, but unfortunately it is something very difficult to have happen. There is also the issue of the state and Federal laws. There are so many difficulties that would require to be overcome for lottery syndicates and many just aren’t eager to go through all the paperwork and issues.

The main disadvantage with traditional lottery syndicates are that there is no sure way to contractually bind the members in the lottery syndicates when they are a group of friends/families. This may sound strange, but when the jackpot is won there can be hugh arguments and expensive legal actions. This is the reason that organizations and organised syndicates have been the most sought after solution.

One solution to the syndicate problems is the elottery syndicate system this allows the management of the syndicate by a seperate 3rd party insuring that all fees are collected and winnings are evenly distributed. Currently syndicates are possible in the National Lottery in the United Kingdom, Euro Millions Lottery and the Spanish ElGordo Lotteries .

These syndicates are available to people from anywhere in the world (with the exception of the USA). Could your syndicate be the one that wins the BIG Jackpot?
