The EuroMillions
Lottery Syndicate Review

The New EuroMillions Syndicate

Virtual World Direct (operators of the popular e-Lottery Syndicate) have now launched an online EuroMillions syndicate. Each syndicate group is formed from 39 members giving a total of 36 lines in each draw. We think larger groups would have balanced the chances of winning with the split of the large jackpot prizes a little better, but it's not a major problem - and it certainly makes winning Euro Millions far easier to understand...

Each group is allocated a unique set of 5 numbers, PLUS every possible combination of BOTH Lucky Star numbers. This set of numbers are then entered into every Friday draw. This means you only need to match 1 ball to win a prize, and match just the 5 main balls to win the enormous jackpot.

Virtual World Direct are a very professional and reliable organisation - who have a solid track record of running large lottery syndicates (you can see their offices here).

Open To Players All Over The World

You can normally only buy EuroMillions tickets if you live in one of the European countries taking part in the Euro Millions draw. But the VWD syndicate is open to players all over the world (NB: But see below if you're in the USA).

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost is just £5 per week (about 6 Euros) - that's it, no membership fees or hidden charges. This is actually pretty good given that the normal price of Euro Millions tickets is a bit higher than most other lotteries, and of course the solid professional administration you get.

When you join you also have the option of setting up a Reserve Fund. This is a useful feature as it provides 4 weeks of 'just in case' cover should payments be missed for any reason. It ensures both you and the rest of your group stay qualified for the big prizes. It is also fully refundable.

Play EuroMillions Online

As with the UK syndicate, all the facilities of this EuroMillions syndicate are available online. Emails are sent shortly after every draw to tell you when you win (picking email up on a Friday night or Saturday morning is more enjoyable as a result!). And you're generally kept informed of what's happening with the company.

So What Do We Think?

Fact is, this is by far the best EuroMillions lottery syndicate available - but given that it comes from VWD, we always knew it was going to be good. The only reason we haven't awarded top marks is those odds are still pretty tough for the jackpot. But if you want to play Euro Millions then this is the best way to do it - and it's a heck of a lot better than buying just 3 measly tickets on your own for the same price! Recommended.
