I am in a lottery syndicate at work and my predicament I have asked the woman who collects the money, (I don't know her very well) on two previous occasions to let me have a copy of the numbers we do. Each time she has given a flimsy reason why this is not possible. DO I run the risk af asking again when the numbers need renewing (she may think I don't trust her - she has a villa in France - I don't know where she got the money) OR should I opt out of the syndicate (they may have a huge win and I would lose out), The thing is at the moment if the numbers I do actually win I have to rely on her honesty and I've only been here for 3 months so don't really know her.

Ask around your syndicate see if anyone else has the numbers if not all ask her together,safety in numbers!

You need to get a syndicate form to be able to claim if you did win or the lottery wouldnt pay out. Maybe she hasnt got this and plans that if you did win, then she would steal the winnings. In this case there would be nothing that you could do about it. Why not ask someone else you work with what the numbers are or find out whether the legal form has been filled in?

I think everyone that is a member of the syndicate should automaticlly have a right to know the numbers they have picked, for one what is the point in doing it? personally it would not bother me to ask her again for the numbers, if the shoe was on the other foot i'm sure she would want to know the numbers. If she was being difficult then i would opt out of the syndicate, you are not really increasing you chances of winning anyway, the lottery is a joke, spend your money on something else, premium bonds have a much higher chance of ever winning anything, and you get all your money back at the end of it when you cash them back in.

If you are paying money into a syndicate, it is usually best to have a written agreement with the numbers on & for this document to be signed by all participants.
Without a copy of this agreement you have no proof of your entitlement to the winnings - should the syndicate ever win.

Are there no other people in the syndicate, couldn't you ask them instead, at the end of the day its your money and you should be entitled to see whether the numbers have come up or not, maybe get a few others to question her.

Perhaps ask the other members of the syndicate what the numbers are.....maybe someone who knows her better will approach her and ask the same question.

by letting someone else run the numbers you stand a great risk of getting no money if you hit the big one who will give you your share by not getting the numbers up front how do you know if you have won my advice is to opt out before you loose to much

Ask her again - your paying her your money. Who cares what she thinks?!
You can't go round pleasing everyone in this life, so your best of following your heart and ask her for a copy of the numbers...
Yea she may get peed of with you asking, but if she has nothing to hide then she will tell you.

You are well within your right to have a photocopy of the ticket. I run a syndicate at work for euro millions and i post the copy onto a notice board for all to see. Legally its my word against 10 others if i were dishonest and it ent to court.
DEMAND YOUR TICKET INFORMATION, she might be up to something....

who else is in the syndicate? Ask around and see if they have seen the numbers if not confront her.
