Thanks Andy, very helpful. Do you feel the section below is the one that would apply to this idea?
"I am a member of a private members club that would like to raise funds for the club by holding a themed sweepstake. The sweepstake would only be open to members of the club. Can we do this?
Yes. A private society can run a private society lottery to raise funds for the society (club). However those funds cannot be distributed to other beneficiaries. For further information, please refer to Organising small lotteries - November 2009 which contains guidance on the rules for private society lotteries."
