<p>The Government recognises the importance of society lotteries as a fundraising
tool for charities and other organisations. Society lotteries are a vital source of
funds for these organisations, raising over £400 million a year.</p><p>In 2020, we
legislated to raise the annual sales limit for large society lotteries from £10 million
to £50 million. Each organisation with a society lottery licence is therefore able
to sell up to £50 million of tickets per year. Most society lottery operators have
sales well within this annual limit, meaning there is plenty of scope for them to
continue to grow.</p><p>The People’s Postcode Lottery (PPL) has indicated that 4 trusts
are at the £50m limit and 10 trusts are expected to reach it by 2025. We have shared
advice with PPL on mechanisms under the current framework that could help alleviate
the pressure on their higher selling trusts.</p>
