The lucky winner of the Channel Islands Christmas Lottery will take home at least £510,000.

Organisers are confident the top prize will be close to last year's figure of nearly £631,000 by the time the draw takes place on Tuesday 20 December.

Jon Taylor, Senior Lottery Officer, said: “As we have seen in previous years sales have accelerated as the draw gets closer.

"Resellers are anticipating a busy last few days ahead of the draw next Tuesday 20 December."

Winners of this year's Channel Islands Christmas Lottery will be announced on Tuesday 20 December.

As well as the top prize, there are more than 60 other prizes up for grabs ranging from £500 to £50,000.

Proceeds from the Channel Islands Lottery will go to the Social Investment Fund, which provides financial support for local charities and good causes.

Mr Taylor added: "Many charities and worthy causes have benefited in recent years and everyone involved in the CI Lottery instant games are proud of the significant funds we have raised."
