The Christmas Lottery
Share a smile this Christmas
The Christmas Lottery has long stood as one of Jersey Hospice Care's flagship fundraising events, offering Islanders the thrilling chance to win some incredible prizes while supporting vital palliative care services across the island.
Each year, 7,000 tickets are made available at £30 each, with a guaranteed prize fund of £70,000. The top prize is an amazing £50,000, along with a second prize of £10,000 and ten additional prizes of £1,000
Supporting your Hospice
Every ticket you buy helps us to be there for anyone with a life-limiting condition - and those close to them - to ensure all Islanders have equal access to the best palliative care and support, when and where they need it.
All of our services are available free of charge, bringing vital warmth and security to patients and their loved ones, and helping Islanders face end of life with dignity, hope, and love.
Just one Christmas Lottery ticket will pay for a one hour bereavement support session, allowing someone who has lost a loved one to get the help and support they need. That's something to smile about!
