Small society lottery permit

A small society lottery is promoted on behalf of a non-commercial society for:

  • charitable purposes
  • the purpose of enabling participation or supporting sport, athletics or cultural activity
  • any other non-commercial purpose other than private gain

The sale of tickets must be less than £20,000 from a single lottery, or less than £250,000 in a calendar year.

Small society lottery returns

For each lottery that you hold you will need to complete a lottery return form no later than three months beginning from the day of which the draw (or last draw) in the lottery took place.

You must also complete a 'nil' return if there are no proceeds from the lottery.
