    Dont have proof, but I guarantee that if you pay any money out within a short period of time you will be back on here telling people you have been scammed.

    Someone who is actually a member may wish to post how many tickets are actually being purchased as the website is not entirely clear however I do want to say this:

    KEEP WELL CLEAR AND DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE A PENNY!!! RIP OFF!

    I realised this when I got a phonecall last year asking me to join one of these things (there are loads of them - actually I think I should start one considering how much dosh I'd make from it!)

    So...each syndicate has 21 people in it including yourself. For the bronze membership you pay £10 a month. So this syndicate has paid £210 in total. This pays for 35 draws or "50 chances" (although it doesn't say what this actually is). Let's just pretend it's 50 tickets being bought - that's £50, right? So where is the other £160 gone? Same with the Silver and Gold membership.

    Anyone really wanting to try and win the lottery would be better off setting up their own syndicate of 20/21 people and buy 4 times as many tickets for the same money or just pay £2/£3 a month.

    If someone wants to correct me and tell me that the full £210 is actually spent on tickets feel free!

    It'll be the exact same concept...in all fairness the people behind these sites have got a great business and if I'd thought of it myself I would have jumped at the chance to do it.

    It's probably not a scam in that they take your money and don't do anything with it - I believe they will buy tickets and you could even get winnings (most likey nowhere near your payments!) but I would say only a small % of your money goes on tickets - the rest will be profit for the website owners...
