Frequently Asked Questions

(please note that the HLA does not accept any responsibility relating to the answers to questions listed below)

Q. We are looking to start a lottery and are unsure of where to start. Can the Hospice Lotteries Association help?

A. Yes - look at our 'Members Experience' page (must be a member to access) and contact the members who most closely match your intentions.

Q. What are the key issues to consider before we decide what sort of Lottery to run?

A. Should you set up a separate company for the Lottery - Do you wish to operate completely In-House or ask a Bureau to assist you?

Q. Can you recommend any providers of services that will be useful to setting up a lottery?

A. Whilst the HLA doesn't recommend or endorse any particular provider, you can see those used by existing lotteries on our Industry Links page.


Q. What must we consider before deciding on whether to recruit cash-paying members?

A. Many potential members with lower incomes prefer to pay 2 or 4 weekly by cash at their front door. If you choose not to recruit cash- payers as a policy you are unlikely to benefit from their membership which could restrict your growth and reduce your overall catchment areas.
