Lotteries: Sales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has received representations from charities on annual sale limits for society lotteries.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
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.
