  • The Big Summer Lottery 2025 — £100,000 Winner

    “I would like to say a massive thank you to all the lovely people at Hope for a Child.

    You all work tirelessly to make a difference to enrich the lives of children in Malawi and families here in Guernsey. With all your hard work and dedication these children and families can continue to flourish.

    It will take a very long time to get over the shock of the phone call I received Friday night from Kris asking me if I was sat down as he was advising me that I had won £100,000 from the Hope for a Child summer lottery. I lost my husband in 2022 and we have one child and therefore this will go towards a deposit for a mortgage for which I never imagined would ever be a possibility for her.

    There truly is not enough words to say I grateful I am to you all. “

  • The Big Summer Lottery 2025 — Fiat 500 Winner

    "We can't believe we actually won third prize!! We didn't buy tickets thinking we would win, but just as Hope for a Child was a fantastic charity to support. That's the benefit of a local charity you actually can win and see the benefit the charity delivers. Thanks again to Tom and the team, Keep up the great work"

  • The Big Summer Lottery 2024 — £100,000 winner

    “Winning £100,000 in the Hope for a Child lottery feels like a dream come true. After years of saving for a house deposit and finally putting in an offer, this incredible win has made my dream home a reality."

    "I'm profoundly grateful to Tom and his amazing team for their dedication and hard work in organising this lottery. Their efforts not only supported my dreams but also make a significant difference in the lives of children in Malawi. Thank you for this life-changing opportunity and for all the hope you bring to so many."

  • The Big Summer Lottery 2023 — £100,000 winner

    "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!"

What do you love most about winter?

The smell of mulled wine. Curling up beside a fire. Family and friends squeezed around the dinner table.

This season we have something else to add to that list — the chance to win £50,000 or one of 43 other dream prizes, all while helping to end poverty for children.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of something truly special this Christmas.

The Causes

The Big Winter Lottery helps 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.

100% of the profits from your ticket purchase will be used to enable families to flourish and young lives to be turned around.

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.
