Lottery draws and raffles
Run every draw your lottery offers from one system, with prizes, rollovers and winners recorded draw by draw.
Weekly society lottery
Ongoing subscriptions with credit and chances worked out for every player before each draw.
Varied stake and daily draws
A monthly payment with a chance to win every day, with the stake worked out for you.
Prizes and rollovers
Set your prizes, win percentage and rollovers, including more than one rollover prize.
Raffles and superdraws
Ticketed or ticketless raffles and one-off superdraws, with each player’s purchase history kept.
Ad hoc and consolation draws
Extra draws for special prizes, or for loyal players who have never won.
Draw statistics
Players, chances, new and lost players for every draw, so you can see your lottery’s trend at a glance.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
Chances limits and self-exclusion are checked for you, and every contact and outcome is recorded in the player's log. Draws are run and recorded in the same place, so you can show how each one was done.
Works with the tools you already use
Direct Debit, standing order and card payment files, BACS export, Microsoft Word letter templates and Excel exports.
Testimonials
“Our canvassers are experienced in selling lottery products, and they say the pattern pricing makes it an easier sale because we offer an amount to pay, rather than a number of entries.” – Chris Routley, Hospiscare, Exeter
Everything else Combase does
Players, rounds and canvassers
A complete player record: Details, play numbers, payments, draw history, letters, notes and a full change log.
Duplicate checks: New sign-ups that look like an existing player are held for you to decide.
Areas, rounds and collectors: Round sheets, collector reconciliation and canvasser commission.
Address and bank checks: UK address lookup and sort code and account number checks as details are entered.
Search and selected lists: Find any player in seconds, or build a list to export, write to or update together.
Pattern pricing: Monthly packages with bonus chances, managed automatically through the year.
Payments and reconciliation
Bulk payment imports: Standing order, Direct Debit, card and cheque files, thousands of payments in seconds.
Redirected and shared payments: One bank payment split across several players, or moved to the right one, handled every time.
Reconcile before the draw: Area, round and payment-type reconciliation, so the draw only runs on checked figures.
Undo an import safely: Reverse a payment import that went wrong, with the reversal recorded.
Donations and Gift Aid: Track donations alongside lottery payments, with Gift Aid flags on each player.
Gambling Commission and UK GDPR

Letters
Your own Word templates: Welcome letters, receipts, renewals and winner letters merged in bulk, with a copy kept on each record.
Automatic letters: The right letter for the right players: new joiners, missed payments, reminders.
Reports and exports
Live dashboard: New and lost players, payments and players per draw, updated as you work.
Finance reports: Totals, payment logs, credit held in advance and sales by payment type.
Exports to Excel: Active and inactive players, filtered how you need, ready for mailings and analysis.
Custom reports: Need a figure that isn’t there? Our team will build the report with you.
Security and access
Microsoft sign-in: Multi-factor authentication and security keys for every user.
Permissions by role: Control who can run draws, take payments, change settings or export data.
Separate data for each charity: Your lottery has its own database, never shared with another charity.
Backups: Automatic backups, including one before every draw.
In a free online demo we show you Combase Cloud with sample data: adding players, importing payments, running a draw and sending the winners' letters. There is no obligation, and lotteries with fewer than 200 players can start using it for free.
