Basic meaning of syndicate
A lottery syndicate essentially indicates a collection or group of gamers which pool their own resources and purchases lottery tickets. The winnings, if any, are distributed equally or even based on the share holding in the syndicate. For example a syndicate has TWENTY players and the group purchases tickets and luckily one of the tickets wins a jackpot of $ 20 million; in such a case the every member of the group gets 1 million each. If 2 tickets win $20 million and $10 million, then every member will get one and half million each. Generally the organizers manage every thing within the syndicate and people simply have to contribute for his or her share and relax and hope they or one of them wins.
