Guest bdmoore Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 Maybe, but it could get silly if lots of people were involved - we might only end up with a tenner each when we get the jackpot :lol:
Guest Disco Stu Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 Surely it would be a nightmare to administer / collect subscriptions...
Guest Pondrew Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I might be interested. More info?
Guest Dr_StrangeTrick Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Same here, what do you have in mind :?:
Guest kurtfhouse Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Anyone interested? P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah why not, sign me up :lol:
Guest mcwarre Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) Ditto. I'll help with the donkey work of admin if you want P.... Edit: Info here for rules etc.. Edited February 16, 2005 by mcwarre
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I'd do it as a 'lottery subscription', i.e. payment of 6 months up front or so (we'd have to decide which days we wanted to do). Any win under tenner each would go in a pot that would be dished out just before xmas to the participants, and it'd be capped at a set number, depending on the interest. The downside of the subscription model is cost, e.g. a year of saturdays is obviously 52 quid, 104 quid both days. Collecting on a more regular basis would be too much of a nightmare :lol: P
Guest philgriffiths Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Hmm sounds tempting. I'm interested. Anything for a flutter!
Guest cybercamel Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 I'd be interested, especially if it were a 6 month subscription! Oh what the hell, go on then, I'll cope with one year. :lol:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 So, Wednesday and Saturday or just Saturday? We would make it a bit cheaper by having, say, 10 lines between 20 people (which makes it 52 quid for a year of both days)... Please post below if you are interested, and on what cost level you would be interested. P
Guest philgriffiths Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 What about either just Saturday for a years subscrition or both days for six months, whichever more poeple want to go for? I would prefer the number of people to equal the number of lines as i think it simply increases chances of winning something so therefore we would have more money at the end. But i dont mind too much either way. What game would we play? main lotto? thunderball or what? Reckon we might get a bit more money out of the thunderball than the main game.
Guest TigerNet Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 ...might be up for this...when you thinking of kicking off? Cheers Nick
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Shortly... If you are seriously interested, send me a PM. P
Guest nickcornaglia Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 is this a UK only thing or can anyone play? If so...what lottery are you actually talking about?
Guest philgriffiths Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 I think the lotto draw is only open to UK residents, but as its a syndicate i'm not quite sure how it would work since it would be someone in the UK buying the ticket
Guest lisa123 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 There is an alternative to doing a Lottery Syndicate yourself. They is at least one company which does it for you. The one I know covers the UK Lotto and Euro Millions - works out about £5 for a share of 88 Lines per week. Governed by the UK Lotteries Syndicate IF you would like the web address just ask me. I dont want to post it as I've just joined this forum and I'm not 100% sure of the rules for including links Lisa
Guest Belgarath Krall Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 is this only open to plus members? ...this is not doing my business assignment damnit >.<
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 No, open to anyone, just drop me a PM :D P
Guest Belgarath Krall Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 No, open to anyone, just drop me a PM :D P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the mind is willing but the student loan says no...*sigh* i'm gonna kick myself when u win the jackpot, how much would it work out to for 6 months worth of subs for this?
Guest chucky.egg Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 I would prefer the number of people to equal the number of lines as i think it simply increases chances of winning something so therefore we would have more money at the end. But i dont mind too much either way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not so sure it's that simple, but I'd agree with that. More lines = more chances I'd rather not know "my" numbers (not a problem in practice... goldfish call me forgetfull) Of course now we're going to need a Smartphone app to check the numbers twice a week and compare them to the list of numbers we're entering... :D
Guest philgriffiths Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 (edited) I'd rather not know "my" numbers (not a problem in practice... goldfish call me forgetfull) I'd agree with that. probably best not to assign specific lines of numbers to individual people. Edit: sorry. missed the word 'not' out :oops: Edited March 4, 2005 by philgriffiths
Guest chucky.egg Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 Er, not sure what you mean. I'd assumed that the people in the syndicate all got a share of any winnings the syndicate made, so "owning" a line iisn't relevant. I meant that I do not want to know my numbers, cos f I ever stop taking part and then see those number come up I'll be sick!
