Channel Islands Christmas Lottery redrawn after administrative error

  • Video report by ITV Channel's Emma Volney


The Channel Islands Christmas Lottery had to be redrawn following an administrative error

The numbers for the original draw were declared null and void as it was revealed it included numbers on tickets which had not been sold and - including the number for the top prize.

The numbers were then redrawn with the unsold ticket numbers not included.

The Channel Islands Christmas lottery is a joint venture between the States of Guernsey and the Government of Jersey and they have admitted the error.

ITV Channel were only notified by the organisers of the mistake after the broadcast of the 6pm news programme on 23 December.

The jackpot figure had reached £630,852.
