GiantLottos Syndicates Review

Playing in a lottery syndicate is a great way to increase your chances of winning something big while minimising your initial investment. It is for this reason that they have grown in popularity and are now offered by more lottery sites than ever before. In this GiantLottos.com syndicates review, we will look at the syndicates on offer by this great site and see how you can use them to win you a decent amount of spare cash.

WHAT ARE GiantLottos.com LOTTERY SYNDICATES?

As with the syndicates offered by most other online lottery websites, the lottery syndicates offered by GiantLottos.com function in a straightforward way. They allow players from around the world to pool their money together into a central fund. This fund is then used to purchase a large number of tickets for a specific lottery draw, thereby greatly increasing the chances of winning the jackpot and/or secondary prizes. If the syndicate does win, the winnings are spread out amongst all the players in the syndicate based on their initial investment (or shares).

While there are four different methods that syndicates use, it appears that all syndicates available on GiantLottos.com use the most common of these methods—Random Selection. This method ignores any calculated patterns or any other prediction algorithm and selects the numbers to play purely by chance.

SYNDICATE OPTIONS AVAILABLE

There are currently only four lottery syndicates available on the site:

EuroMillions Syndicate

Regular Jackpot Odds: 1 in 139,838,160 / Biggest Jackpot Ever: €190 million

This syndicate allows you to compete for potential jackpots of €190 million for the ridiculously low price of just $1.58. For this amount, you will receive a single share that uses 15 lines of play to reduce your odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot from 1 in 139,838,160 to 1 in 9,322,544. Since each draw is split among 150 shares, one share could be valued at a respectable €1.26 million in the case of a win. If you choose to increase your investment and purchase nine shares, you could win a possible €11.4 million.

Mega Millions Syndicate

Regular Jackpot Odds: 1 in 302,575,350 / Biggest Jackpot Ever: $1.537 billion

Mega Millions is well known for its October 2018 record jackpot of $1.537 billion. This syndicate exists to try and win a jackpot that size using 20 lines of play. By doing this, the odds of winning the spectacular jackpot drop from 1 in 302,575,350 to just 1 in 15,128,768. Moreover, because the jackpots of this lottery are generally so massive, having a single share in this syndicate could be worth as much as $7.69 million. Owning five shares could give you winnings of $38.4 million.

Mega Power Syndicate (Mega Millions & Powerball)

Mega Millions: Regular Jackpot Odds: 1 in 302,575,350 / Biggest Jackpot Ever: $1.537 billion

US Powerball: Regular Jackpot Odds: 1 in 292,201,338 / Biggest Jackpot Ever: $1.586 billion

This syndicate combines 13 lines of play for each draw held in a week by two of the most iconic lotteries in history—Mega Millions and US Powerball. Offering reduced odds from 1 in 302,575,350 to 1 in 23,275,027 for Mega Millions and 1 in 292,201,338 to 1 in 22,477,026 for US Powerball, this syndicate is a great way to take on the chance of winning over a billion dollars. A single share win of the US Powerball record jackpot could be worth $122 million, whereas three shares of the record Mega Millions jackpot win could be worth an incredible $355 million. In addition, this syndicate offers a guarantee that if you don’t win anything at all, you will get all your money back. Who could possibly say no to that?

Double Euro Syndicate (EuroMillions & EuroJackpot)

EuroMillions: Regular Jackpot Odds: 1 in 139,838,160 / Biggest Jackpot Ever: €190 million

EuroJackpot: Regular Jackpot Odds: 1 in 95,344,200 / Biggest Jackpot Ever: €90 million

To rival the American lotteries listed above, this syndicate offers 40 lines of play spread across the three draws held each week by two of the largest European lotteries—EuroMillions (15 lines for each of the two weekly draws) and Eurojackpot (10 lines per weekly draw). This syndicate improves your odds of winning from 1 in 139,838,160 to 1 in 9,322,544 for EuroMillions and from 1 in 95,344,200 to 1 in 9,534,420 for EuroJackpot. Holding one share in this syndicate could lead to you winning €6.77 million if the syndicates hits the EuroJackpot top prize, while having five shares and winning the EuroMillions jackpot could make you worth an extra €71.43 million As a bonus, this syndicate also offers a win guarantee or your money back.

UK National Lottery Syndicate

Regular Jackpot Odds: 1 in 45,057,474 / Biggest Jackpot Ever: £66 million (US $81.5 million)

The UK National Lottery Syndicate not only gives players access to the UK National Lotto, a game with usually tough odds of 1 in 45,057,474, but also improves these odds to a much better 1 in 6,007,663. If the jackpot reaches record highs of £66 million again, a single share could be cashed in for £880,000, while 10 shares would be worth a tantalizing £8.8 million.

GiantLottos.com SYNDICATES CONCLUSION

We are generally impressed by the selection of online lottery syndicates available at GiantLottos.com. It is clear that there has been some thought placed on what lotteries will be offered for syndicate play and how many lines will be played for each of these syndicates.

However, if there are a couple of things that we do think can be improved upon, it is the number of lines that are purchased for each draw. Sure, buying 13 or 20 lines improves one’s odds of winning by a decent margin, but nowhere near as good as buying 100 or 200 lines would.

In addition, the number of shares available for the EuroMillions and Mega Millions syndicates is too many in our opinion, especially considering the limited number of lines per draw. While this high volume of shares is not a deal-breaker, it does disperse the prize pool more than we would like to see.

Nevertheless, one thing that makes us forget about all of the above is the win guarantee offered by both combo syndicates. This win guarantee allows you to play without having to worry about losing anything at all. After all, if you win, then you get money. If you don’t win, you get the cash you spent returned to you anyway.

To end with, let us say that we think the GiantLottos syndicates are worth taking a look at if you are looking for a place to play in organized group play. All in all, we are pretty sure that you will be happy investing your money here.
