Wshful Exposed — Will You Be Wishful for Winning?
Wshful Review
What do you think “wshful” would stand for? I’m guessing wshful thinking may be about winning a lottery syndicate. Looking at Wshful.com, I think you’re going to have to be wishful to actually win anything. This is an online lottery provider that deals only in syndicates and only in two lotteries. Well, theoretically, they add a third one in their referral program but that’s it. More importantly, it all comes down to the numbers and though I’m not a mathematician, these numbers are not adding up for me.
Games at Wshful.com
Wshful offers three levels of syndicates for two lotteries – EuroMillions and Mega Millions. Their Basic $5 a week buys players into 5 EuroMillions and 5 Mega Millions tickets a week. Each syndicate/draw has 88 shares. The next level is the Standard of $12 per week for 15 tickets times 2 lotteries twice a week again shared between 88 shares. We’re still looking at 15 tickets by 88 shares for each draw. The top level is Premium with $20 a week for 30 tickets per lottery for 2 weekly draws. We’re still talking only 30 tickets to 88 shares for each draw. There is no information on how they choose the actual ticket numbers.
Why Do You Play Syndicates?
The whole point of playing in a syndicate is to maximize tickets to shares. The good syndicates definitely have more tickets than shares. This one doesn’t even come close. The minimum buy-in here is for 4 weeks. It seems fairly simple to opt out though you can’t officially until you finish that specific 4-week subscription.
Added Value Wshful Points
Players earn 6 wshful points when they first subscribe. Each referral that registers earns players 1 point and each that subscribes earns players 10 points. For every 10 points a player accumulates, this is good for 5 bonus lottery lines for US Powerball for 5 weeks. It looks like that is one ticket per week (even though we know Powerball is played twice a week). Get to 100 points and you get a year’s worth of bonus lottery lines.
Wshful Getting Your Winnings
If a player’s winnings are below £50,000, LotteryTech will collect the winnings and then transfer the money to your account. If the winnings are over £50,000, Cloud Canyon Ltd. collects the prizes and then shares them with all of the syndicate. Wshful.com says there are no administration charges unless the prize is less than £3.
Who Is Wshful.com?
You did note the two different companies. Wshful.com is owned by Cloud Canyon Ltd. They purchase the tickets through LotteryTech. Cloud Canyon Ltd. is registered in England and Wales with a snail mail address in London. There is also an email address and phone number. Customer service is available from 9:00 am to 17:00 pm GMT Monday to Friday. Wshful.com says to allow for 48 hours for any response.
Wshful and Who Can Play
Players must be 18 years or older (or the legal age to play where they reside) and can be from anywhere except the United States. One of the hilarious things is that in their terms and conditions, wshful.com says you can particularly play from Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, and South Africa.

Is Wshful Legit?
Syndicates are a great way to increase a player’s odds of winning but most good syndicates have more tickets than shares. This one doesn’t come close. Players are going to be wishful thinking about winning.
Wshful.com gets a thumbs-down. Shop around for good syndicates and make sure you do your math. It’s a great way to play lotteries when the numbers work!

TERRIBLE odds. Awful.
£4 buys a share of 20 lines, so around 10 times the chance of winning. However, 10 times the chance of winning 1/88th of a prize, not 1/10th. Now, I know they have overheads, but come on… that’s ridiculous!!
The math is not as simple as you’ve put it here mate. You’ve gotta do proper statistical and probability analysis, taking into account all important factors such as how the probability of winning increases as the number of lines increases (syndicate versus individual), as well as the expected return attached to those bets. It’s not a simple concept of the cost of tickets in a syndicate versus doing it alone. Probability factors have significant. You can play the lottery individually until you die without winning anything and yet play through a syndicate and occasionally win small amounts that can change your life. It’s not as simple as you’ve depicted here mate.

Nice and easy site to use. Feels like good value too. Definitely one of the best sites for lotto out there.

I love it! As others have said, you get lots of chances for each and every draw for euromillions, powerball and mega millions. I’m on the silver package and it feels like great value, especially when you factor in the nice loyalty offers that you get each week. I’ve not seen any decent rewards from any other lottery sites I’ve used in the past, so going to stick with Wshful for now.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the Silver Syndicate Subscription. Just like to know how long have you been in this Syndicate. Any winnings so far?
Me too have just joined the Silver Syndicate a month ago. So far only had some mini winnings. But more Reward Points.to play more Lottery Lines.
Hope this encourages others to Join Us playing in these Syndicates with Wishful.com.
Thanks for reading

Seems good so far. Saw it in the daily mirror with a nice welcome offer. I like the concept and the loyalty bonuses are the best I’ve seen from any lottery site. Just got to see if my syndicate has any luck.
