Tickets for the 2024 Channel Islands Christmas Lottery games are now on sale.

This year, islanders can buy two types of tickets to win cash prizes.

As well the normal £2 tickets for the jackpot draw, islanders can buy a new £5 scratch card.

The 'Christmas Extravaganza' game will offer £500,000 worth of prizes.

Head of Lottery, Jon Taylor, says there are more chances to win.

“We have released lots more prizes through a secondary Christmas game called Christmas Extravaganza.

Our traditional draw-based game remains popular, and over recent years the prize fund has been diversified to include far more smaller prizes to provide more chances to win, along with a large first prize which rose to £500,000 last year.

Ultimately, we want people to spend a proportionate amount on tickets and be responsible players."

This year's jackpots starts at £300,000, and it set to rise as more tickets are sold.

The 2024 draw will take place in Guernsey on 19 December.

The annual fundraiser is run by the governments of Jersey and Guernsey, and has raised millions for local charities.
