The National Lottery provide a download pack that covers it .
As you say if a few people just bung a quid in each week without an
agreement things can get interesting. there is some circumstance where
the Inland revenue want a cut connected with inheritance tax on the
"Winners" estate if they die as the others cut will be deemed gifts.
I see some Tesco nightshift workers are the latest who probably won't
be doing many more shifts.
