Winning Strategies
To win the jackpot, you must must match all five main numbers plus both Lucky Stars, which has not happened since a family syndicate from Dublin bagged €38.9 million (£34.5 million) on Friday 29th December.
Playing as part of a group can be a very effective strategy, as it allows you to own a share of more tickets and therefore increases your odds. The only way to boost your chances of winning is to enter more lines, and in a syndicate you can achieve this without having to worry about the cost of buying multiple tickets.
Syndicate winnings have to be split between everyone in the group, but this also creates a shared feeling of celebration. A group of 12 work colleagues from Slough in the UK won £158,759 in last Tuesday’s draw, and syndicate leader Pauline Rodgers said: “I saw there was a message from Camelot with news about our ticket and to be honest thought it was going to be another £2.70 and another round of friendly ribbing. When I logged into the account and saw it was £158,759.50, I knew there’d be more than friendly ribbing in the office that day.”
