It is not structured as a National lottery but instead consists of 51 different Society Lotteries from different areas of England, Scotland and Wales. They operate in rotation and every week a different Society Lottery holds the weekly draw. Funds are distributed across all the Society lotteries.
Ticket sales began on 29th September 2011. The first draw was on Saturday 8th October 2011. Players must be at least 16 years of age.
