Channel Islands Lottery
A lottery was first started in Guernsey in 1971 but merged with Jersey Lottery in 1975 to form the Channel Islands Lottery. This was run on a traditional draw basis but from January 2004 a Scratch Card Lottery replaced the draws. At any time two Scratch Card draws run in tandem. Each has a separate prize structure. Prizes range from a free scratch card to £20,000
The Christmas Lottery is a half scratch, half draw basis with the proceeds of the draw distributed by the Association of Guernsey Charities to a wide range of worthy causes. The proceeds from the 2007 Christmas draw that were distributed to charities amounted to just over £147,000.
Tickets are available throughout outlets in Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark. Larger prizes can be claimed from The Culture and Leisure Finance Department which is based at the Guernsey Information Centre, North Esplanade, St Peter Port or from any of the main agents in Guernsey, Alderney and Sark.
