Advanced Lotto Syndicates
- FAQ
No, we do not sell lottery tickets.
Simple – No pay, no game. No win, no dream. We will not cover anyone’s contributions.
You don’t want to be one of those people who missed out on €212 million because they skipped one payment, do you?
You can use Revolut or set up regular bank payments.

You subscribe to one of the syndicates (you pay a contribution for participation).
If there are enough people to form a syndicate, I purchase Lottery Tickets from an authorized ticket reseller (most likely my local SuperValu shop).
Then, I take a picture of each ticket and send these pictures to every syndicate member.
Each syndicate has its own dedicated page to view tickets. Here’s an example:

Equally and fairly, like splitting the last piece of cake at a party. Everyone gets their fair share!
Sure, you could do that and get 4 lines in the EuroMillions without the Plus option, and a slim chance at the Jackpot. But, by joining us, your €10 plays €100 worth of tickets. If it’s an HCC option syndicate, then your chances to hit the Jackpot significantly increase. We’re not twisting anyone’s arm to join us. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. I genuinely wish you and everyone else the best of luck in hitting the big one, but I wish it most for us.
We’ll meet up in Dublin at the National Lottery Claims Department on a specific day and time to sort out the formalities. Then, we celebrate our newfound wealth like lottery winners do – responsibly, of course.

No, refunds are not available once the tickets have been sent.
Absolutely, it’s as easy as unsubscribing from that newsletter you never read.
Always the number of people who paid their contribution in specific syndicate. Except for special occasion syndicates, like when the EuroMillions jackpot is €200 million or in the Private Syndicates. Then, it might be more or less, depending on how much we’re playing with. It’s all about sharing the wealth.
Firstly, it makes my life easier and saves me from having to remind anyone to transfer the cash. Secondly, you’re guaranteed not to miss out on a win. You don’t want to be one of those people who missed out on €212 million because they skipped one payment, do you?
Then, you’re still in the game until all funds are used up or we hit the Jackpot with those games, and you take your share as a normal member of the syndicate you were assigned to. When the small wins funds run out, you’re no longer part of the syndicate, and someone new takes your spot.
Yes, we do operate in other countries. Although I’m based in Ireland and the tickets are sent from here, anyone around the world can take part in the game and join our syndicates. This international participation has been officially confirmed by the National Lottery in the email correspondence below. So wherever you are, you’re welcome to play with us!

Technically, yes. Please email me at luckysyndicates@gmail.com with details such as how many people are in your syndicate, what contributions you’re making, etc. I can then create a “hidden” page just for you. It’s like having your own secret lottery club.*
Since you have your own Syndicate, you understand the concept of increasing your chances by pooling tickets with others. More tickets mean greater odds of winning big. By sending through me, you essentially multiply your chances because playing for €10 gets you €100 worth of tickets. It’s like adding a turbo boost to your lottery engine.
I’m considering introducing a “Syndicates for Syndicates” category where the joining fee would be around €20 – €25, and the main win would be split not into 11 but, say, 4 to 6 units. If you think you’d like to join with your syndicate, shoot an email to luckysyndicates@gmail.com. It’s like upgrading from business class to first class on the lottery flight.
Absolutely. Just remember, if you hit the Jackpot, you as an individual get 1/11th of the win, and it’s up to you how to split it further. Alternatively, to avoid tax issues, we can organize our and “your” meeting in Dublin at the National Lottery Claims Department, and your whole syndicate can claim 1/11th of your/our win. By playing this way, you significantly increase your chances of hitting the Jackpot. It’s like using a cheat code for the lottery.
No. In Ireland, you don’t need to register lotto syndicates with the CRO or Revenue. I’ve registered the website name, though. And I have an email confirmation from Revenue stating that as long as it’s considered a hobbyist activity, there’s no need to register it as a business. Kind of like how you don’t need to register your grandma’s knitting club.*
Yes. Confirmed in emails from Revenue.
According to my calculations:
Irish Lotto Normal odds of winning a Jackpot prize: 1 in 10,737,573; with my methods and techniques 1 in 300,000.
Euromillions odds of winning a Jackpot prize: 1 in 139,838,160; with my methods and techniques 1 in 1,500,000.
Basically, I’ve turned the impossible into the improbable.
That’s the beauty of Syndicates. It only takes one person in the syndicate who’s destined to win, and we all win together. Think of it as drafting behind the luckiest person you know.
Sure, you can choose – just like picking your favorite ice cream flavor. We have a variety that’s almost as good as a dessert menu.
Due to the Daily Million lottery being drawn twice every day, it’s not feasible for me to ensure timely dispatch, photographing of the tickets, uploading the images to a computer, and then emailing them out. The sheer volume of tasks to manage within such a tight timeframe makes it impractical.
Occasionally, a Daily Million ticket might be included in a syndicate; this is typically because there’s a small remaining amount (like one euro) from the syndicate’s funds, and purchasing a Daily Million ticket becomes the most sensible option to utilize the leftover money.
For wins up to €500, we send out a Quick Pick for the respective draw and play until the funds run out or we hit a bigger prize. It’s like keeping the lottery dream alive on the steam of small wins.
Most syndicates focus only on the main EuroMillions draw and usually don’t include the Plus. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth playing with Plus in syndicates. You’re paying an extra €1 just to play for €500k, and when that’s divided among 10–30 people, the potential winnings aren’t that exciting.
In my opinion, it’s better to invest in a single line for the main draw where the jackpot starts at €15 million and often goes well over €100 million. That’s real potential – even when shared in a group.
For similar reasons, I’ve put aside playing Irish Lotto and Daily Million for now, even though the odds of winning there are technically better. After chatting with experienced players, we’ve decided to focus entirely on the EuroMillions main draw – big jackpots, big dreams.
When I find the time (which might be challenging), I’ll be publishing them on the blog on this site.
I usually purchase the syndicate tickets at my local SuperValu on the day of the draw. After buying, I take pictures of each ticket, resize them, and upload them to our private website so all members can view them. Once they’re available, I send a message via WhatsApp to let everyone know that the tickets are uploaded.
The photos are high quality, so you can scan the barcode at the bottom of each ticket using the National Lottery app if you wish.
Sometimes, when someone pays late or forgets to contribute on time, I purchase their ticket through my own National Lottery account, especially if there’s no time to get to the store.
Unfortunately, I don’t sign the tickets before the draw—they’re bought very close to draw time, and since we all live in different cities and the group is quite large, organizing signatures in advance isn’t practical. I ask that you trust the system I’ve set up.
Your proof of participation in the syndicate is your payment via Revolut. You’re free to take screenshots of the uploaded tickets and note the ticket numbers. If we win a jackpot, you’ll simply notify the National Lottery that the winning ticket is part of a syndicate, and they won’t pay out until everything is verified. In that case, the ticket will be signed at the National Lottery office.
Due to how busy my personal life is, I only buy tickets for the Tuesday EuroMillions draw. Occasionally, I also play on Fridays if there’s a mega draw—like the last one for €250 million.
For €5 per week, I can add you to two syndicate groups—one with around 30 people and another with about 25. I say “around” because sometimes a player forgets to pay in time, so they won’t be included that week.
Some people choose to join just one group and pay €2.50 weekly, others go with two groups for €5 per week, and there are also a few (including myself!) who pay €10 weekly to be part of four groups. It’s completely up to you and how much you’d like to play.
Unfortunately, not yet. Altogether, we’ve spent around €14,000 on the syndicate over time, but so far we’ve only had small wins—nothing major yet.
That said, I truly believe it’s just a matter of time before we hit the jackpot. With the number of tickets we buy every single week, it almost feels inevitable. I just don’t know when it’ll happen!
There are usually around 20 to 30 people in each group, depending on who paid in that week.
Most syndicates focus only on the main EuroMillions draw and usually don’t include the Plus. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth playing with Plus in syndicates. You’re paying an extra €1 just to play for €500k, and when that’s divided among 10–30 people, the potential winnings aren’t that exciting.
