Organizing a lottery: what do you need to consider?

Organizing your own lottery is a fantastic way to raise money for your club, association or foundation. However, there is more to it than just selling tickets. Below is a summary of the most important points:

  1. Clear Objective
    Determine in advance what the proceeds will be used for. Whether it concerns new materials, renovation of the canteen, or support for a good cause: a concrete goal motivates participants to buy a ticket.

  2. Prize Package
    Ensure attractive prizes. These do not always have to be expensive – local entrepreneurs are often happy to cooperate by sponsoring something.

  3. Transparency
    Make game rules and conditions clear and easily accessible. This increases participants’ trust.

  4. Sales Strategy
    Utilize personal sales (members, volunteers) and digital channels such as QR codes and online sales links.

  5. Legal and Financial Matters
    Check if you need a permit (depending on the value of the prize package). You also need to consider the processing of personal data (GDPR) and secure payments.

In short: a good preparation is half the battle. With the right approach, your lottery will not only be a success, but also a safe and reliable action for all participants.
