Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance to win a prize each week, with a top prize of £25,000. Charities keep 40% of every ticket sold on their page with funds sent direct to their account every month. Draws take place every Saturday night with results posted on the Giving Lottery website, Facebook and Twitter, and winners are advised directly. Participating charities also receive fortnightly email updates, and can login and view ticket and supporter data in real time. In total, 60% of ticket sales go to good causes: 40% to the charity that sold the tickets, and 20% to a fund supporting all good causes in the UK. * **[Mosaic adds CFP’s lottery services to create UK’s “largest full-service charity offering”](https://fundraising.co.uk/2019/07/18/mosaic-adds-cfps-lottery-services-to-create-uks-largest-full-service-charity-offering/)**( 18 July 2019) * **[Charity leaders call for early implementation of charity lottery reforms](https://fundraising.co.uk/2019/09/24/charity-leaders-call-for-early-implementation-of-charity-lottery-reforms/)**( 24 September 2019) * **[Cashcascade charity lottery-style game announces first £50,000 winner](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/07/20/cashcascade-charity-lottery-announces-first-50000-winner/)**( 20 July 2016) ![Loading](https://fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/page-views-count/ajax-loader- 2x.gif)
