(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Lotteries (Scotland) Regulations 1977, which relate to lotteries promoted on behalf of societies registered under Schedule 1 to the Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976 and lotteries promoted by local authorities under that Act. Regulation 2 introduces an additional restriction as to the sale of tickets or chances in a lottery where there is a set of lotteries in which the determination of winners in those lotteries is combined to secure the winning of several prizes by the holder of a group of winning tickets or chances. The restriction does not apply to any lottery in which tickets or chances have already been sold when these Regulations come into force (regulation 1(2)).
