Tickets for 2007 Christmas Lottery on
sale
(05 November 2007)
Tickets are now on sale for the 2007 Channel Island Christmas Lottery.
Deputy Jack Honeybill of the Culture and Leisure Department’s Lottery Advisory Panel which oversees the draw in Guernsey said “I hope that the sales will start with a bang because we are hoping for a bigger and better result than in 2006 which was itself a record.”
He added that “the profits from this draw are channelled through the Association of Guernsey Charities which distributes these to good causes in the island in the New Year.”
Tickets still cost one pound each and will be widely available throughout the island. There are two chances to win. The first is by means of the normal scratch panel which reveals whether the ticket is a winner. The remaining part of the ticket contains a number which should be retained for the draw which is to take place during the evening of Tuesday, 18 December.
The first prize guarantees a minimum £250,000 which will rise according to the number of tickets sold.
Deputy Honeybill said that he hoped that as many people as possible will play the lottery this year because it will benefit so many people in the island.
