The Society Lottery

From 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025, £14,920,000 was raised from ticket sales in the society lottery promoted by Macmillan Cancer Support with 3% spent on prizes, 40% spent on expenses; and 57% being used to fund Macmillan’s work to give people living with and affected by cancer the support they need.

This translated to a fantastic £8,500,000! The likelihood of winning a prize is 1 in 267, on average.

Macmillan Cancer Support raises funds to do whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are.
