Lottery prize now at £410,000
THE guaranteed first prize in this year's Channel Islands Christmas Lottery has risen now to £410,000.
Malcolm Woodhams from the Association of Guernsey Charities said it is great news that the guaranteed first prize had gone up.
'Many worthy charities apply to us each year for support; some of these charities can be small and so may find it difficult to gain the exposure that larger charities benefit from, we aim to help as many Guernsey charities as we possibly can with the proceeds from this draw, so buying ticket locally is one way of supporting good causes and being in with a chance to win one of the big prizes as well,' he said.
The tickets also have a Scratchcard offering the chance of winning an instant cash prize of up to £5,000.
The draw takes place on Thursday 18 December.
