Run your club's 100 Club online, with a draw members can check.
Members pick a number and pay a few pounds a month by standing order. Half goes to a monthly prize, half to your cause. Club 100 keeps the board, the members and the payments in one place, and runs a draw that shows its working.
Built by a Lions club treasurer for his own club's draw. Running since 2026, now being set up for other Lions clubs and charities across the UK.
What a 100 Club is
A 100 Club is a small monthly lottery run by a charity, sports club, school PTA, church or village hall. Up to 100 people each hold a number and pay the same amount every month. One number is drawn, that person wins a cash prize, and the rest goes to the cause. In the UK it is normally registered with the local council as a small society lottery.
It is one of the oldest fundraisers there is, and it works because it is steady: the money arrives by standing order every month whether or not anyone runs an event.
| 100 numbers × £5 | £500 a month |
|---|---|
| Prize, 50% | £250 to a member |
| To your cause, 50% | £250 |
| Raised for your cause each year | £3,000 |
You set the number of tickets, the price and the split. The software only does the arithmetic.
What changes when it is online
For members
- A live board showing which numbers are free. People can see there is a gap and take it, which is what fills the board.
- Join in a minute from a phone. Pick a number, enter your details, get the standing order instructions with your own reference.
- A public winners page, so every month's result is there for anyone to see.
- An email after each draw with the winning number and prize, if your club turns that on.
For the treasurer
- Who holds which number, who has paid this month and who has lapsed, on one screen instead of a spreadsheet only you understand.
- A monthly draw that takes seconds, with a named witness, and that only includes paid-up numbers.
- The figures your council asks for on the lottery return: tickets sold, proceeds, prizes, amount to the cause.
- Tiered prizes if you want them, for example first, second and third, and boards from 10 to 1,000 numbers.
A draw that shows its working
A 100 Club only lasts if members believe the draw is straight. Club 100 draws from the paid-up numbers using a true random source, records the inputs and the result so anyone can see how the winner was chosen, and refuses to record a draw that fails its own checks. There is no way to quietly re-run a month.
Set up the right way
Most 100 Clubs are registered small society lotteries under the Gambling Act 2005. Registration with your council costs £40, then £20 a year. I will send you what our own club filed, and the rules page on your site carries your registration number and charity number where the council expects to see them.
Pricing
plus VAT. Or £150 a year plus VAT, which is two months free. £75 plus VAT one-off setup. First month free. Cancel with 30 days' notice.
- Your own hosted Club 100 under your club's name, on a web address of your choosing
- Live number board, online joining, public winners and rules pages
- Member and payment records, standing order references, lapsed-payment view
- Tamper-evident monthly draw with full history
- Setup done for you, with a copy of our own council registration as a template
- Hosting, security updates and support from the person who wrote it
For scale: a full board at £5 raises £3,000 a year for the club. The software costs £180 of that.
From one treasurer to another
I'm Brian Willows. I'm treasurer of Severn Dean Lions Club in the Forest of Dean and I have run websites for a living since 1997. I built Club 100 because running our draw on a spreadsheet was a slog and I wanted a draw our members could genuinely trust. It has run our club's 100 Club since it started.
If it would help your club raise more with less hassle, I'll set you up the same way. I'll talk to you as a fellow volunteer, not a salesperson, and I'll tell you if I think a 100 Club is the wrong fundraiser for you.

Questions clubs ask
Do we need a licence to run a 100 Club?
Usually you register it as a small society lottery with your local council. It costs £40 to register and £20 a year after that, and it is straightforward. Some clubs run a private society lottery for members only instead, which needs no registration but cannot be advertised to the public. Your council is the authority on which applies to you.
Does it have to be 100 numbers at £5?
No. You choose how many numbers, from 10 to 1,000, what each costs per month, and how the pot is split between prizes and your club. A 200 Club at £2, or a 50 Club at £10, works the same way.
What can the money raised be used for?
Any purpose your society states when it registers: charitable causes, the club's running costs, or members' subscriptions. At least 20% of the proceeds must go to that purpose.
How do members pay?
By standing order to your club's bank account. Each member gets a unique reference so the treasurer can match payments in a minute. Only paid-up numbers go into the draw.
Can it use our club's name and colours?
Yes. It runs under your club's name, on a web address of your choosing, with your charity number and lottery registration on the rules page. A small line in the footer says it is powered by Club 100.
What if we don't fill all the numbers?
It works from the first draw. The prize is a share of what has actually been paid that month, and the public board shows which numbers are still free, which is what fills them.
Can we cancel?
Any time, with 30 days' notice. Your member and draw records are yours and you get a copy.
Who runs the lottery, you or us?
Your club does. It is the promoter, holds the registration, and a named person at the club presses the draw button with a witness. Graith Internet sets up and hosts the software and does not run or manage anyone's lottery.
