The Channel Islands Christmas Lottery has already reached £915,000 and with just over three weeks to go until the draw it looks certain that one lucky winner will be taking home more than a million.
Tickets have been selling like hot cakes and much better than this time last year. Each ticket gives you two chances of winning a prize in the main draw. You can also win up to £5,000 with the scratch card. The second-draw prize is £50,000, the third-draw prize is £25,000 and there are 50 prizes of £500.
Lottery ticket sales throughout last year helped raise almost £700,000 for local charities.
The money helped fund a major refurbishment at Little Sisters of the Poor and meant St John Ambulance could buy a replacement support vehicle.
Other organisations to benefit included Jersey Cancer Trust, Jersey Hospice Care, Jersey Brain Tumour Charity and Brighter Futures.
The draw is Thursday 18 December.
