The Newark and Sherwood Community Lottery

The Newark and Sherwood Community Lottery is an exciting weekly lottery that raises money for good causes in the district.

Prizes

Each ticket is £1 and players have a 50-to-one chance of winning one of the prizes, which range from the jackpot to free tickets.

As well as 60p going to good causes, 20% goes to the prize fund, and the rest is for running costs and VAT.

Register as one of our causes

For causes signing up, there's no set up costs or admin fees. You just fill in a simple online form and once we’ve checked everything over, we’ll set you up with your very own customisable lottery page.

To buy tickets or register as a good cause go to the Newark and Sherwood Community Lottery.

The lottery has been registered for a licence through the Gambling Commission and is also registered with the Lotteries Council, which will provide advocacy and guidance on operating the lottery.
