Row Over Lottery Split
09/07/2009 13:03:35
A Lottery syndicate is at war right now over a row over lottery split. The syndicate has scooped £100,000 on the Irish Lottery but has encountered problems over one couple trying to claim a double share. One of the eleven strong syndicate member, Jim Hogg asked his wife to purchase the tickets for the group, even though she is not a member and now he is trying to claim a share for his wife, something the rest of the group are angry with.
The ten school cleaners who work with Mr Hogg though it would be nice to give his wife £1,000 as a thank you gift for purchasing the tickets, but were shocked when Jim Hogg demanded a full share for his wife even though she is not a syndicate member.

It would mean that Mr and Mrs Hogg would get double the amount from the Irish Lottery syndicate than the other members and the syndicate are not happy to go along with this. They now want to cut her out of the cash completely and give the extra £1,000 to charity.
The syndicate started over ten years ago under the agreement that any large wins would be split eleven ways, they even for the school’s deputy headteacher to witness and sign their syndicate agreement.
A legal expert has now stepped in to say that Mrs Hogg has no rightful share of the win as she only acted as an administrator but unfortunately it means that a lifelong group of friendships and an lottery agreement has been broken.
