Society lotteries are a vital fundraising tool for many charities, community groups, sports clubs and other non-commercial organisations. We want to see them continue to thrive, alongside the National Lottery.

On 26 June 2025, the Government announced it would not be making further changes to society lottery limits, and has no plans to review this decision.
