Society Lottery Prize & Ticket Sale Limits to Change

The Department for Communities (DfC) will be introducing proposals to increase the maximum prize limit for a society’s lottery as well as the limits on ticket sales.

The proposed increases are outlined as follows:

  • Max prize limit of £25,000 to be increased to £200,000
  • Max ticket sales in a single lottery of £80,000 to be increased to £500,000
  • Max ticket sales for all lotteries in one year to be increased from £1m to £2m.
  • DfC is also planning to increase the ticket sales limit for Private lotteries from £1,000 to £5,000.

Secondary legislation will be introduced to the Assembly after the summer recess, and it is anticipated that the new rules could be in place by the end of this year or early in 2025, if the new rules are agreed.
