Our charity.

The Scottish Children’s Lottery supports the charity The Scottish Children's Lottery Trust. Currently, one in five children in Scotland live in poverty. We believe that every child deserves the absolute best start in life, whatever their family’s circumstances. With your support, The Scottish Children’s Lottery Trust will invest in projects that aim to alleviate the impact of poverty, providing help to those children who need it most.

Visit the Scottish Children’s Lottery Trust website to find out more.  

The Scottish Children’s Lottery Trust has Scottish Charity Number SC046177
Gambling Commission Number 45496 

Proceeds.

As well as paying prizes to you, we guarantee that from every ticket sold, at least 20% will go to supporting Children in Scotland. This has helped us raise over £8.5m for children in Scotland since our launch in October 2016. To give you an example, in 2023:

• we received £3,081,892 in ticket sales
• we donated £616,378 to good causes (20%)
• we paid out £189,400 in prizes (6%)
• 74% of ticket sales were used to help cover operating expenses (including marketing)
