A Note on Syndicates
While all lotteries have their independent win chances and prize pools, the easiest lotteries to win are usually those that can be played in a syndicate. This means that you’re playing the lottery in a group with other people for a heavily increased chance of winning. However, any prize won would also be split among all participants in the syndicate, thus your prize money would be lower.
