The first draw was held in 1975.[1] HistoryThe Channel Islands Lottery was founded in 1975 with the merger of the Jersey Lottery and the Guernsey Lottery.[2] The Jersey Lottery was established in 1966[3] and the Guernsey Lottery in 1971. The game is the oldest lottery in the British Isles, beating Ireland (1987) and the United Kingdom (1994). Jersey's share of the profits from the lottery were initially used to finance the transformation of Fort Regent into a sports and entertainment complex. On the completion of that project, the States of Jersey agreed that the Jersey part of the profits from the Channel Islands Lottery should be applied to charitable purposes, through the Association of Jersey Charities.[4] A scratchcard instant game was introduced to revitalise the traditional draw in 1997.[5] On 29 June 2012, a new summer draw was launched with a million £2 lottery tickets going on sale. The main prize, had all tickets being sold, would have been £1 million, with a further £300,000 in smaller prizes.[6] However ticket sales were much lower than anticipated, and the main prize was only £150,000, with £300,000 in smaller prizes.[7] The summer lottery was cancelled in 2013.[8] Proposals to replace with the United Kingdom National LotterySince the launch of the National Lottery in the United Kingdom in 1994 there have been proposals to replace the Channel Islands Lottery by making United Kingdom lottery ticket sales available in the Channel Islands. The Government of Jersey favours this as this would triple the amount given to good causes.[9] However some residents feel this would lose them their independence.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}} Foreign tickets are not currently sold in the Islands. The Islands are not eligible for Good Causes Funding,[10] although the UK National Lottery Act 2006 provides for the eventuality that the Channel Islands may participate.[11] The other one of the Crown Dependencies, the Isle of Man participates in the UK National Lottery. GamesThe main game is a scratchcard game where the maximum prize is £20,000 which replaced draw based games in 2004. There is also the Christmas Super Draw which is part scratchcard, part draw based. The jackpot for the 2016 Christmas Draw was £1,120,220.[12] References1. ^Channel Islands Lottery {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110813181609/http://www.gov.gg/ccm/navigation/culture---leisure/channel-islands-lottery/ |date=August 13, 2011 }} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Gambling (Channel Islands Lottery) (Jersey) Regulations 1975|url=http://www.jerseylaw.je/law/display.aspx?url=lawsinforce%2Fconsolidated%2F11%2F11.300.30_Gambling%28ChannelIslandsLottery%29Regs1975_RevisedEdition_1January2006.htm|accessdate=30 October 2011}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Syvret & Stevens|title=Balleine's History of Jersey|year=1998|publisher=Phillimore|location=Jersey|isbn=1-86077-065-7}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=States of Jersey Official Report 18 November 2009|url=http://www.statesassembly.gov.je/documents/hansard/1890-12772-26112009.htm#_Toc246926618|accessdate=30 October 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Gambling (Channel Islands Lottery) (Jersey) Order 1997|url=http://www.jerseylaw.je/Law/display.aspx?url=lawsinforce%2fconsolidated%2f11%2f11.300.20_Gambling%28ChannelIslandsLottery%29Order1997_RevisedEdition_1January2006.htm|accessdate=30 October 2011}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-guernsey-18624400 |title=Channel Islands Lottery could offer £1m top prize |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=2012-06-28 |accessdate=2013-03-23}} 7. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-guernsey-19177451 | title=Channel Islands £1m summer lottery tickets drawn | publisher=BBC | date=August 9, 2012 | accessdate=November 15, 2012}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-21911030 |title=BBC News - Channel Islands Summer Lottery ditched after poor sales |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2013-03-23}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6484111.stm |title=Lottery could be switched to UK |publisher=BBC News |date=2007-03-23 |accessdate=2013-03-23}} 10. ^Memorandum to the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee Post Legislative Assessment of the National Lottery Act 2006 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415130447/http://www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm81/8153/8153.pdf |date=April 15, 2012 }}, 2011: "This provision of the Act allows the Big Lottery Fund to distribute National Lottery proceeds to the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
