PLAYING IN-STORE
Simply purchase as many lines or tickets
as you like. All our draw-based games are
available to play as a syndicate.

Fast Pay cards are available at shops that
sell our tickets. They store all of your lucky
numbers so you don’t need to fill in a play slip.
Just ask for one.
PLAYING ONLINE
Pick your numbers from anywhere by
registering to play online. You can then play
draw-by-draw, or weeks in advance.
FORGET ABOUT FORGETTING
Never miss a draw or forget your tickets by
playing Lotto, EuroMillions or Thunderball
online by continuous Direct Debit.

the local shop. She said: “We’ve
already agreed to use some of
the winnings for next year’s
syndicate tickets.”
SALTCOATS
SYNDICATE CLEANS UP
18 school cleaners from Saltcoats

until a week later. Syndicate leader
Claire Roberts said: “The girls are
from all walks of life, so this will
help us all in different ways.”

GOT ANY
QUESTIONS?
WHAT DOES A SYNDICATE MANAGER DO?
The main areas are setting up the team, collecting the money, checking
results and keeping everyone updated. It’s also important to make sure
the Syndicate Agreement is completed and up to date.
HOW DO WE BUY TICKETS?
Play in-store or online. The choice is yours. Simply buy tickets the usual
way from your local retailer, or open a National Lottery Account and play
online from anywhere.
IS THERE A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE,
TICKETS OR LINES?
You can include as many people as you like in your syndicate. Get as many
lines and tickets as you want too from retailers or by playing online.
DO SYNDICATES NEED TO REGISTER WITH
CAMELOT?
No, but the Syndicate Manager needs to register as a player if you are
purchasing numbers online. It’s also important that each member of the
syndicate fills in the Syndicate Agreement to save on any hassles later.
HOW ARE PRIZES PAID TO SYNDICATES?
Prizes are paid in the normal ways to the Syndicate Manager, who is then
responsible for handing out the winnings.
