The Multi-Ticket Jackpot Draw will take place just after the main draw at 7pm on Friday 1st August.

Introducing:

The pen to have this summer

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Not only is this amazing bit of kit both a pen and Highlighter — you can also use it to show off to your friends that you are part of something world-changing.

How can you get your hands on one of these beauties?

Buy 2 or more tickets, and get them from Hope Store or from one of our pop-up stalls, and we’ll give you one (but you have to promise to cherish it forever!)

There is nothing like it…

The smell of the first dollop of suncream, the sizzling sound as dinner hits the grill, the sun on your skin as small waves lap the shore and the sound of seagulls preparing to swoop down to steal your chips…

Summer is a special time no doubt, and there are not many better places to experience it than our islands.

What makes this time of year even more beautiful are the thousands of islanders who make a powerful choice to have an impact on the lives of children, while getting the chance to WIN BIG.

  • 2023 First prize winner of £100,000

    "My wife and I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Hope for a Child for all the hard work you do to better people's lives. For us, actually winning a prize was very unexpected — we could not quite believe it at first, it took a while to sink in!

    We are so grateful to you all! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again, big big hugs!"

  • 2024 First prize winner of £100,000

Unmissable

Anticipation for this year’s Big Summer Lottery has been pretty nuts (if you pardon the pun).

We’ve been receiving lots of messages from people who are super eager to bag their tickets, and we’ve even heard rumours that some grey squirrels have moved over to Guernsey just to be able to take part!

Our team have been working hard behind the scenes to make this year's draw the one you don't want to miss

Do you qualify?

Entry into The Big Summer Lottery is limited to people aged 18 or over with a residential address within The Bailiwick of Guernsey.

Entering the lottery is not a guarantee that you will win a prize. Please do not spend money on tickets that you cannot afford to give to charitable causes.

The Causes

The Big Summer Lottery has been raising funds for Hope for a Child for the last 8 years, helping us meet our core costs and deliver life changing work in Malawi.

Because of your support, thousands of parents and carers are being enabled to provide a nurturing environment for their children, with access to good nutrition, safe water and education.
