	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Gambling Commission published its advice to government alongside the government’s consultation on society lotteries reform. The advice reported that to date, society lotteries have not had a statistically significant effect on National Lottery sales. The consultation presented the Government’s preferred options and sought views on legislative options to reform the society lottery sector. The consultation closed on 7 September and we received over 1,600 responses. I am now carefully considering all of the views and evidence. I hope to formally respond in the first half of next year.</p> question first answered 13/12/2018 17:57:01

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>Society lotteries are gambling products with the primary purpose of raising money for good causes. They operate under a legal framework with limits on the size of individual draws, the annual receipts and the size of the prize on offer. All large society lotteries are regulated as gambling products, and as such are regulated by the Gambling Commission. They are permitted by Government, which recognises the benefits they bring to society throughout the country, and are seen as an important fundraising tool.</p> question first answered 21/03/2019 14:30:41
