Camelot Warns Syndicates To Get An Agreement In Place
Sylvia Evans, of Brandon, Suffolk, is being sued by 17 syndiacte members who allege that she and her husband Martin pocketed winnings that belong to the syndicate.
Mrs Evans claims she purchased the winning ticket with her own money and consequently does not owe the syndicate, based in Thetford, Norfolk, any of the £105,505 prize.
A spokesman for Lotto organiser Camelot stressed the need for syndicates to draw up a proper agreement that sets out the rules clearly.
These rules usually include agreements on how any prize money should be split and how the numbers are chosen. He said: "Camelot recommends that all syndicate managers have a syndicate agreement in place."
Girl Loses Out On Share Of Jackpot
A girl has lost out on a share of a £1.2 million jackpot after the syndicate manager did not receive her payment in the week leading up to the win.
The 22 year old who wants to remain anonymous is seeking legal advice after claiming she paid for the first two weeks, but missed out on the following two weeks collections due to illness.
Her colleagues believed she had left the company so did not pay on her behalf. The case continues.
