The Syndicate Advantage
A 20-person syndicate has 20x the winning chance versus a single ticket. The prize splits, but for most Australians improved odds are worth it. Formalise agreements in writing before buying tickets.
Number Selection
Every combination has identical probability. Choosing less popular patterns can help avoid prize sharing. Avoid birthdays (limits to 1-31), sequential numbers, and grid patterns — all overselected.
