Two ways to play in a group
Syndicates and Share50, two different ways to play together, share the cost and split any prize. Here's the difference in plain English.
Syndicate
A syndicate set up by Lottofy where a large number of optimised combinations are played together using a formula. The cost is split into equal shares among all participants, making it possible to back a volume of entries that would be too expensive to play alone.
The more shares you hold, the bigger your slice of any prize. Prizes are distributed proportionally and credited automatically to your Lottofy balance once the draw is settled.
Because the syndicate grows until the cut-off, the final number of entries played is confirmed at closing time. You can always see the combinations being played from the moment the syndicate opens.
Share50
An open pot for a specific draw. Each participant chooses their own numbers and adds any number of bets. If one of your bets wins, you keep 50% of its prize and the other 50% goes into a common fund, which is shared among all participants in proportion to the number of bets each one added.
This means you keep half of your own prize and receive a share of the common fund on top, giving you more chances of getting a piece of a big win than playing alone.
Share50 is ideal if you want more chances of winning something without committing to a fixed number of shares. The more the Share50 grows, the more bets are in play for everyone.
