Summary
It is a condition of your Small Society Lottery (SSL) Licence that you provide the data
of the weekly draws to the Local Authority that governs your licence within three
months of a draw taking place.


We have made this process as easy as possible for you, so you just need to print,
sign and send the lottery returns from the monthly emails we send you. This guide is
intended to help answer any questions you have about this process.


IMPORTANT: IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THE SSL
RETURNS IS NOT LATE. THE DEADLINE IS THREE MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF THE DRAW.


Permissions – who gets the emails?
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOUR BANK DETAILS HAVE BEEN ENTERED INTO
YOUR LOTTERY OPERATOR DASHBOARD TO GET THE LOTTERY RETURN EMAILS
Emails will only be sent to those users on your dashboard who are ticked to receive
“lottery returns.” Please see the screenshot below:

Ensure you are added as a USER ADMIN on your cause dashboard:

Go to "ADMINISTER THE LOTTERY"

 

 

Once in your cause dashboard go to MENU and click USER ADMIN

 

Then go to ADD NEW:

 

The monthly process:
- Your nominated contact receives an email with two attachments, headed:
“Your lottery returns are ready to be submitted.”
- The data attached is drawn directly from the lottery database so there is no
margin for error. The attachments are:
o “Lottery Return” which will be a form pre-filled with figures and
information in each box
o “Lottery Return Detail” which will have a table of figures, one line per
weekly draw. The figures pre-populated in the first form are pulled from
the second attachment
- Print BOTH of the attachments. Two unrelated people from your organization
must sign the ‘Lottery Return’ and then BOTH of the documents must be
posted to the license issuer (The address can be found on the ‘Lottery Return’
form).
