Jackpot goes to Guernsey

So too has the second prize of £10,000.

About 1.3 million tickets were sold for the draw, 767,000 in Jersey and a further 533,000 in Guernsey.

It was Gambling Control’s regulation and licensing manager Jenny Turner who set the draw in operation last night at Channel Television, a move scrutinised by members of States Treasury auditor Jonathan Binet.

Economic Development Assistant Minister Alan Maclean, who was also present, said this morning that everyone was delighted with the way this year’s draw was run.

‘The public have an appetite for bumper draws, and the higher the prize climbs the more interest is generated,’ he said.
