We strongly advice for you to research/speak to scholars regarding accepting lottery funding for your organisation.
Over the years we have been informed by Muftis it is acceptable for charitable purposes only.
However, only Islamic instititutions, mosques and any other form of Islamic related work/teachings cannot accept lottery money. More events will be coming soon regarding this topic as this still requires all of the community to learn and understand Islam's ruling is on the matter.
