Jersey islander wins Christmas lottery jackpot

Proceeds from the lottery go towards community groups and charities

The first prize in the Channel Islands Lottery 2024 Christmas Draw has been claimed.

The States of Guernsey confirmed on Friday that the owner of winning ticket number 676349, from Jersey, had come forward.

It said the winner of the £483,795 jackpot wished to remain anonymous.

A ticket for the second place prize of £50,000 was issued in Guernsey, but is yet to be announced due to no-one coming forward.

In 2023, a syndicate of 40 women in Guernsey won the top prize, taking home £12,500 each.

Proceeds from the lottery go towards community groups and charities across the Channel Islands.
