Jersey Hospice Million Pound Lottery tickets will be on sale from today.
The lottery is their biggest fundraiser of the year and Jersey Hospice Care’s Chief Executive, Emelita Robbins, is encouraging Islanders to get involved.
She said: "The Million Pound Lottery is the biggest and one of the most exciting events in the Jersey Hospice Care calendar. It’s wonderful to be able to offer everyone in the local community a chance to win a life changing amount of money; islanders who throughout the year do so much to support their hospice."
"I’d encourage everyone to buy their tickets early, tickets sell out every year, and this year we have the early bird prize draw, very kindly sponsored by de Gruchy. Our grateful thanks go to de Gruchy and NatWest for hosting us this year – we are very much looking forward to working with them. We are also extremely grateful to all the volunteers who help us to sell tickets and donate their time to this event."
