My post was about lotteries in general, hence "The details of lotteries vary between regions,", so it was obviously not limited just to the UK National lottery. In this case, I'm right and you're wrong. Just get used to it.
I asked how it would have been done in the UK turns out it’s massively complicated takes a years of planning which is why it’s never happened in the UK.
Actually, it has happened in the UK before. Quite early on IIRC. Was on a decent rollover rather than the regular £2m jobbie. They didn't buy all the combinations, they omitted some combinations of numbers to cut down the number of tickets required (don't know exact details, but presumably didn't do 1/2/3/4/5/6 etc.).
They also won the lottery. Unfortunately, so did something like another 60 people so they shared a relatively small cut of the pot and lost money on it.
There was talk of a syndicate doing it in the UK on the first big roll over but turned out it was the Sun and other papers talking shite.
As any combination of numbers is equally likely to win, I used what
I thought was an unlikely set of numbers, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, and 49 I think. My theory was that in the unlikely event of winning, I wouldn’t have to share. Probably hundreds of others doing exactly the same.

10,000 people play 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 every week.
