Lucky Winners with the E-lottery - does it work out better to play as part of a syndicate?

Nearly a month ago an e-lottery syndicate shared considerable win when they  matched the bonus ball and 4 main numbers winning a total of £88,748.
The e-lottery Syndicate System guarantees that each syndicate will match EVERY main number drawn on one line or another, and cos of that they matched a 10 and a 12. This means that they matched 5 balls plus the bonus ball twice. Everyone shared in the total winnings of nearly £90,000 and got a cheque for £1,811.18 each which must have made their day! It seems that it might be better to play in a syndicate than by yourself if you want to be in with a chance of winning more often, but saying that you have to share your winnings with everyone else so its not nearly as much as if you had the big win on your own… mind you not many people would turn their noses up to a win of nearly £2K. One of my mates does it and seems to think its a great idea. What are your thoughts? Is it worth even playing the lottery, not sure what I would do if I were to win millions… whereas £1800 would do me very nicely
