Lottery Proceeds

The proceeds from each small society lottery cannot exceed £20K in a single draw, or £250K in a one-year period. If they exceed these amounts, the lottery is no longer a small society lottery, and the promoter must instead be licensed by the Gambling Commission.

The purpose of lottery returns

Local authorities should check the returns submitted by lottery promoters at least annually to ensure the £250K limit is not being exceeded. The returns for each draw should be checked to ensure they do not exceed £20K in proceeds.
