The prize fund for the Friends of Les Bourgs Hospice monthly lottery will increase by £250 to £4,250 from next month.
The lottery, which has been running for six years, offers islanders the chance to win 12 prizes ranging from £100 to £1,000. Each number costs £5 a month and there are currently more than 2,100 numbers in every draw.
‘This is a vital fundraising initiative for Les Bourgs Hospice and one that islanders are incredibly supportive of, as the idea of donating to charity while also having the chance to win every month is very appealing,’ said chair of the Friends of Les Bourgs Hospice, Liz de Carteret.
From May, an extra £250 will be added to the prize fund to give an additional chance of winning one of the £500 prizes.
‘The prize fund is 40% of the money generated from the lottery, and so from May’s draw there will be two prizes of £1,000, two of £500, three of £250 and five of £100. We hope the increase in prize fund will encourage more people to sign up, and that it won’t be long before we can announce even more prizes,’ said Mrs de Carteret.
