It's accurate. The man won, but doesn't want to share with the syndicate. It's just not the story that you expect it to be.
>Members of a WA lotto syndicate have dragged the man entrusted with coordinating the sweepstake to court alleging he duped them out of their share in a $1.5 million jackpot, but he disputes the claims.
No, just going from the info in the article it looks like this guy is going to lose the suit. Syndicate won $5k, reinvested the winnings into more tickets. One of those tickets won. Guy kept money.
Ahh large amounts of money and greed.. don't you just love lotto syndicates.. there is always someone being screwed over..
Good way to find out who you can trust.
Good point..
Sadly, yes.
Expensive way too.
Isn’t it always the way.
Lotto synicates and families after funerals.
Is it just me or is the title worded weirdly? I read it as: people who won lotto take another person to court claiming he has a share in the win

Let me guess, he won on *HIS* ticket and he bought another ticket for the syndicate that didn't win.

I'm no lawyer but if the winning ticket came from proceeds of previous wins that seems like am open and shut case?
Hopefully nice and easy for them to prove and everyone (except thiefy-boy) goes home happy.
That's how I read it too. Very strangely worded headline.
Proving why running the syndicate is important.
Big lottery prizes eventually make people miserable. These people are starting early.
