Small society lotteries are promoted for the benefit of a non-commercial society. A society is non-commercial if it is established and conducted:

• for charitable purposes
• for the purpose of enabling participation in, or of supporting, sport, athletics or a cultural activity
• for any other non-commercial purpose other than that of private gain

A small society lottery:

• does not have proceeds that exceed £20,000 for a single draw
• does not have aggregated proceeds from lotteries in excess of £250,000 in any one year
