The Best win yet. £2663 for a 5 Ball win!!!. £157.69 to all in syndicate (other than Chris and Ian). Due to cancelatiopn of the Christmas meal, I will pay out this money during w/c 18/11/2013.  Paying out in November will also ensure that all 20 players have the same payout next year, assuming no one leaves :).

Merry Christmas and good luck for next year.

New £2 lottery 5th Oct

This weekend marks the start of the new £2 lottery.

We have halved the number of lines entered in our weekly draw to prevent us paying any more in to the syndicate.

We had 19 lines (since Chris Wilson joined 5 weeks ago). I analysed the lines we had a removed the lines that had more numbers in the 1-31 number range.  The reason for removing those lines was, if we get a Four Ball or greater win we should in theory, win more (since quite a lot of people use birthday days and months).

the lines that are still in the draw are available to check (as usual) on the left hand column checker.

This weekend also includes a draw with 1000 £20,000 raffle prizes.

I am unsure how we are going to check the raffle prizes other than me getting an email from Camelot if we do win. I will probably post the raffle numbers each 5 weeks when they are allocated to a freshly purchased ticket?

Also,  to make things easy I have bought 10 tickets (not 9.5!) hoping that Ian Kelit (new A-Shift Polymer) will possibly join our syndicate in the next few weeks?. If not I will twist someone else's arm ;)

Chris Wilson has joined the Syndicate (after the big win recently :) )

I have created a Lucky Dip Line that will be included until the New £2 Draws starts on 2nd October.

We will then need to drop the number of lines to half so we don't have to increase our payments in October.

We will have an odd number of lines so we also need to decide what we are going to do about that .

Cheers, Simon

2012 Winnings were £220 / 19

Links updated on top left for current year (and last years finishing total - sorry its a bit late)

Tony King has left the syndicate so I will be removing one line fro. The checker on the next purchase in a few weeks

I also propose that we drop to half the lines entered each week when the lottery costs double to £2 (this will keep the costs to everyone the same). Let me know if anyone disagrees?)

I will update links on the left when I remove a line and half the lines, if we decide that's the way we want to go?
