Friends Disunited

Who says 'money' will never change them? A big dispute over a £105,000 national lottery win has overshadowed friendships in Norfolk. Sylvia and Martin Evans claim they bought the winning ticket with their own money and therefore the prize is entirely theirs. But 17 other people from Thetford claim the couple bought the tickets on behalf of a syndicate that came into being at a child's birthday party. Goes to show that all syndicates should really get the agreement written down and signed by all members - if only to hang on to your friends!
