A lotto syndicate isn’t illegal as it would sound. It’s all about power in numbers. And meeting, and joining forces, with lotto enthusiasts.
You dream about winning the lotto jackpot prizes, but the circumstances are beyond your control. You can only buy a lotto ticket, and then another, and one more … until you don’t have money for such a thing. There’s nothing wrong about the get-rich-quick scheme. As a matter of fact, most wish for the same thing. However, luck can be fickle. (Does it sound like love? Yes. But it’s another subject to discuss.)
If you look at the past lotto jackpot prizes winners, then you wonder why there aren't multiple winners in the lotto draws with bigger prizes. Are Filipinos that selfish? Probably not. Are Filipinos unwilling to explore other options? Most likely. Yes.
There are several advantages of opting for lotto syndicate. First, you and your fellow lotto enthusiasts can pool your money together. The more cash, the more lotto tickets you can purchase. And the higher the chances of winning the lotto jackpot. Second, you and the other enthusiasts can talk about lucky numbers. It should help you strategize what could be that winning combination. Last but not the least, a team effort often yields great results. And nothing would be more indescribable than sharing the huge lotto jackpot prizes with fellow enthusiasts. You can’t be too greedy. (It’s still a huge amount after dividing it with three or more.) Are you game?
There’s nothing wrong about messaging strangers, but you must ensure that they’re lotto enthusiasts. And they’re willing to set aside a fraction of their funds, or salary, for lotto jackpot prizes. Checking out the social media accounts of PCSO lotto should save you lots of time. It’s also possible that there are Facebook groups that are solely interested in lotto and TV and radio shows that offer cash prizes. Don’t be shy (about reaching out to them).
A businesslike approach might not be a smart thing to do. Introduce yourself first. Tell a bit of something about yourself. And then your interest in lotto. If the individual is only interested in TV shows and radio programs that offer cash prizes, then don’t think of looking for another one. Try to be persuasive (about the upside of joining a lotto syndicate). And you must emphasize that there’s no need to pay a thousand pesos (to buy lotto tickets). If this doesn’t work, then the next item should interest you.
Tell your contacts about your plans (of forming a lotto syndicate). Expect unflattering reactions. (Some would laugh at such a suggestion.) If you really want it, then other options are worth exploiting. And the one less traveled could tick. Keep in mind that this step could take some time. There could be a setback, and it doesn’t mean that you must give up. Your patience is required. And it could be a cue that you must change your strategy. Persistence often yields the desired outcome, but some would call it annoyance. Do it one more time.
Arrange a (physical) meeting. Lotto syndicate isn’t a prank. You didn’t invest in it because there’s nothing better to do. As a matter of fact, this step is a good move forward. It’s one way of manifesting the possibility of winning, and claiming, the lotto jackpot prizes. Besides, it would be nice to meet the other lotto enthusiasts. Or the ones hooked to TV shows and radio programs offering cash prizes.
Don’t be surprised if these enthusiasts turned out to be housewives. Or middle-aged women. And they come from a middle-class neighborhood. Or a lower-middle-class background. If you’re not one of them, then don’t shun them. Show your enthusiasm in lotto and/or TV shows and radio programs offering cash prizes. It may sound silly and impractical to others, but you can’t put down a good dream.
This is a crucial step. It’s a task that must be discussed thoroughly. It would be a waste of time to join all the lotto draws, as your total resources might be insufficient. Pick one or two. Make sure that you would be inconsistent in your selection of numbers. (If you don’t have a clue, don’t pick the numbers that often end up winning. One would come out.) And there’s no need to purchase the lotto ticket the following day or the day after.
Consider the possibility of winning the lotto jackpot prizes: Don’t celebrate. Yet. Discuss when to visit the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Main Office (in Mandaluyong). Call the office and inquire about printing all your names in the lotto ticket. Or if one would be good enough. And it would be better if you could be told about the process. (More people will join the lotto if the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office is more transparent.) How to save your winnings, or invest in it, would be the next step. We’ll talk about it later.
Don’t wait until next week. And don’t expect a sign (during a full moon). Look for other lotto enthusiasts. Form your lotto syndicate. Let’s play and try to win lotto jackpot prizes!
