Return forms

Within 3 months of the date of each lottery draw the promoter must submit the following information, on the 'return' form provided by the Licensing Authority:

  • The arrangements for the lottery - specifically the date on which tickets were available for sale or supply, the dates of any draw and the value of prizes, including donated prizes and any rollover.
  • The proceeds of the lottery
  • The amount deducted in providing prizes.
  • The amount deducted in respect of costs incurred in organising the lottery.
  • Details of any expenses incurred in connection with the lottery which were not paid for from the proceeds including the amount and the source from which they were paid.
  • The amount applied to the purpose of the promoting society (this must be at least 20% of the proceeds).

This must be signed by two members of the society who are aged eighteen or older and who are appointed in writing by the Society for that purpose. Electronic signatures are acceptable if the form is submitted electronically.
