Every society registered with a local authority to run small society lotteries must submit a statement providing the following information:

• dates on which tickets were available for sale or supply and the date of the draw
• total proceeds of the lottery (remote and non-remote)
• amounts deducted by promoters of the lottery in providing prizes, including rollovers
• amounts deducted by the promoters of the lottery in respect of costs incurred in organising the lottery
• amount applied directly to the purpose for which the promoting society is conducted or for which the local authority has power to incur expenditure (at least 20% of the gross proceeds)
• whether any expenses incurred in connection with the lottery were not paid for by deduction from the proceeds, and, if so, the amount of expenses and the sources from which they were paid

Lottery returns 

Returns must be submitted within 3 months of the date of the draw (or the last draw), be signed by two members of the society appointed in writing for that purpose by the society’s governing body and accompanied by a copy of that appointment
