About the Community Lottery


Originally known as the People's Choice Community Lottery, the People First Community Lottery gives local sporting clubs, schools, charities, volunteer groups and other not-for-profit community groups around Australia the opportunity to raise funds and achieve fundraising goals. The Community Lottery has helped to raise more than $22 million for community groups since its inception in 1984.

People First Bank, along with our proud business and media partners, facilitate the Community Lottery’s administration, advertising, prizes and tickets so that community groups participating can pocket 100% of every $2 ticket sold!

Whilst we have a new name, we can assure you the program has not changed and we are excited to help local community groups once again.
