• Can my organisation open an account with People’s Choice?

  People’s Choice offers an account for community groups called
  If your organisation or your members would like to consider opening a Business and Community Account, let us know and we’ll get it set up.

• What about GST?

  Community Lottery sales don’t take GST into account.

  If your organisation is liable to pay GST, it’s up to you to report and pay the GST component when completing your BAS statement, but we need to know your ABN, so please declare this on your organisation’s application.

• How do we stay informed of Lottery updates?

  The Community Lottery website is updated regularly with all the latest Lottery updates and we’ll send emails to the nominated contact person at your organisation with important info, too.

• What’s the deadline for returning our tickets and funds?

  Check out Community Lottery key dates, and add them to your organisation’s calendar.

• What do we do about unsold paper tickets?

  With hundreds of groups and higher demand for tickets than we are able to supply, it’s important that any unsold tickets are returned to People’s Choice as soon as possible, so that we can distribute them to organisations that might be able to benefit from their sale.

  Please be realistic about your organisation’s selling potential, and only apply for the number of tickets that you believe your organisation can sell. Not only is it unfair to prevent other organisations from benefitting from the Community Lottery by selling more tickets, but unsold tickets returned too late to redistribute might affect your organisation’s participation in the Lottery next year.
