The jackpot for this year's Channel Island Christmas Lottery has topped £420,000.
With less than a week left to go, the top prize is expected to rise further still – last year's jackpot hit £500,000.
Organisers have also set up a dedicated phone line for groups looking to buy blocks of tickets.
A total of 67 prizes will be drawn next week.
Jon Taylor – the Senior Lottery Officer for the States of Guernsey who also oversees the Channel Islands Christmas Lottery across Jersey – said: “This year we have had two Christmas games on sale, The Extravaganza instant game and the traditional Christmas Draw Game.
"The first prize will rise further and there’s plenty of opportunities to win this year whichever island bags the top prize.”
Proceeds from the Channel Islands Christmas Lottery are given to charities across both islands by the Jersey Association of Charities and the Social Investment Fund in Guernsey.
Last year's lottery raised £2.5 million.
The 2024 Christmas Lottery draw will take place in Guernsey, with the winning numbers announced live on Thursday 19 December from 18:00.
