What are Powerball syndicates?
Players around the world pool their money to buy US Powerball tickets together; this is what we call syndicates. It is a good way to split the cost of the tickets with fellow players while improving the odds of winning. That is not all: players that get a share in a syndicate stand a chance to win shares in more than just one Powerball prize.
How do Powerball syndicates work?
To play Powerball syndicates players need to buy shares of a pre-agreed number of tickets with other players. They can choose to create their own Powerball syndicate or join one online. Our advice: choose a secure platform of online courier services such as theLotter.
Once Powerball results are in, players can check whether they scooped something or not. Prizes won by a syndicate are shared evenly between all syndicate members, according to the shares that each player purchased. Simply put: the more shares a player buys, the more shares of the scooped prize(s) he will receive.
