The popularity of lottery syndicates has boomed in recent years on the back of some of the biggest lottery wins ever being famously won by syndicate groups, meaning winnings were shared out between colleagues, families, and friends. Now, more players want to know what it’s all about, and more importantly, how they can get involved!
Here’s all you need to know. ??
What is a lottery syndicate?
A syndicate is a group of players who club together to buy lottery tickets, spreading the cost of buying multiple tickets while getting more chances to win! After the draw, any winnings from these tickets are shared out proportionally between members with any entries in the syndicate group. ?
How do lottery syndicates work at LottoGo?
Joining a lottery syndicate at LottoGo.com.au is an easy way to significantly boost your odds of winning a share of the world's top jackpot prizes – and you can get involved for just $10.00 AUD an entry.
Based on the simple logic that the more tickets purchased = the greater the chance of winning a prize, each Syndicate at LottoGo contains 10 unique lottery lines. By purchasing just 1 entry into a syndicate, you'll get a dedicated share of any winnings accumulated by all 10 of those lines in the draw.
Each syndicate is made up of 50 entries, and each entry purchased by a player is allocated an equal portion (1/50) of any winnings. So, if you’re in a syndicate that wins $100m, 1 entry in that syndicate would win $2m! And of course, if you’ve got multiple entries in a single syndicate group, then you’ll get multiple shares in the winnings.
Syndicates are all about community spirit, with players getting together to go for a share in mega jackpots! Check out all Syndicates available at LottoGo here!

The world’s biggest lottery syndicate winners!
We told you syndicates were making waves in the lottery world, so here’s just a few of the syndicate success stories that hit the headlines:
Mega Millions USA: A 4-player syndicate won a jackpot over a BILLION* (USD)!
This $1.05 BILLION* Mega Millions USA jackpot was won in January 2021 by a 4-member syndicate in Michigan. This made history as the 3rd biggest jackpot prize in the world, as well as the 2nd richest Mega Millions USA jackpot, ever. In choosing to take a lump-sum payment, these 4 players shared $766m* equally between them!
Mega Millions USA: ‘The 3 Amigos’ won a share of the record-breaking $656 MILLION* jackpot (USD)!
In March 2012, 3 tickets hit the $656m* Mega Millions USA jackpot – winning £218.6m* each! One of those winning tickets belonged to ‘The 3 Amigos’ syndicate - 3 colleagues who clubbed together with $20 each to buy 60 lottery lines. After taking the lump-sum pay-out option, these amigos walked away with a whopping $35m richer each, and that’s even after taxes!
Mega Millions USA: 11 colleagues shared a $543 MILLION* (USD) lottery win!
The largest Mega Millions USA syndicate win to date was created by a spur-of-the-moment office syndicate in 2018! $543m* was split evenly between 11 colleagues working in financial services in Santa Clara, California. Despite taking home $29m million each after tax, these winners decided to stay in their jobs and use the winnings to pay off mortgages and travel! ✈
EuroMillions - €175.4 MILLION of Irish luck for a Dublin family syndicate!
In February 2019, 9 family members clubbed together as a syndicate for EuroMillions and bagged the highest lottery jackpot ever won in Ireland! As they were the only jackpot-winning ticket in the draw, they got to split the entire €175.4m jackpot between them and planned to share their mega winnings with all their other friends and family – there’s definitely plenty to go around!
Power Draw USA: ‘The Tennessee Twenty’ split $420 MILLION* jackpot (USD)!
Dubbed ‘The ‘Tennessee Twenty’, 20 colleagues working at a manufacturing plant in Portland, Tennessee, hit the $420m* jackpot on Power Draw USA with their syndicate ticket in 2016! The cash value of the prize was worth $254m*, working out at around $12.7m each before taxes!

How can I play foreign lotteries from Australia with LottoGo?
As most global lotteries require you to be a resident of the country in which they’re drawn to buy tickets or receive winnings, some of the planet’s highest jackpots – including the enormous Power Draw USA and Mega Millions USA - have previously been out of reach to Australia residents.

If you opt to play in a syndicate, you’ll be allocated to a group with 10 pre-purchased lines when you buy your entry. Simple!
For any ticket that wins a prize in the foreign lottery draw, LottoGo.com.au will collect the prize money from the official lottery that you’ve played in and any relevant taxes or deductions will be made in line with the jurisdiction and pay-out rules of the foreign lottery. LottoGo will then convert any winnings into AUD before paying them out to the winning players! ?

Who will be playing with me in the lottery syndicate?
Other big jackpot fans in the LottoGo.com.au community! Once you choose the lottery you want to buy a syndicate entry for, your entry will be automatically assigned to the next available space in one of LottoGo’s syndicate groups! Each syndicate is filled up with members as entries are purchased.
As LottoGo automatically allocates your entry into the next available syndicate group for the lottery draw, it’s possible that if you purchase multiple entries that they could be allocated to the same syndicate group. This would mean that you'd win a greater share of the winnings if the numbers come up!
For example, if you purchased 2 syndicate entries for Mega Millions USA and each was automatically allocated to a different syndicate group, you'd be playing for a 1/50th share in any winnings from each group. However, if your 2 entries were allocated to the same syndicate group, you'd be playing for a 2/50th share in any winnings from that one group.
Does playing in a lottery syndicate improve my chances to win?
Yes - the more lines you have for the lottery, the more chances you have to win! Joining a lottery syndicate is the most simple and cost-effective way of getting more lottery lines and boosting your chances to win a share of a huge lottery jackpot!
