Society lotteries are a vital fundraising tool for many charities, community groups, sports clubs and other non-commercial organisations.

In 2020, the annual sales limit was increased from £10 million to £50 million as part of a wider package of changes to society lottery limits.

My department continues to work closely with the Gambling Commission to monitor society lotteries and the charities they support.
