The Channel Island Lottery is the State lottery in the Channel Islands run jointly by the States of Jersey and States of Guernsey. The first draw was held in 1975.〔(Channel Islands Lottery )〕 ==History== The Channel Islands Lottery was founded in 1975 with the merger of the Jersey Lottery and the Guernsey Lottery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jerseylaw.je/law/display.aspx?url=lawsinforce%2Fconsolidated%2F11%2F11.300.30_Gambling%28ChannelIslandsLottery%29Regs1975_RevisedEdition_1January2006.htm )〕 The Jersey Lottery was established in 1966 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.statesassembly.gov.je/documents/hansard/1890-12772-26112009.htm#_Toc246926618 )〕 A scratchcard instant game was introduced to revitalise the traditional draw in 1997.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jerseylaw.je/Law/display.aspx?url=lawsinforce%2fconsolidated%2f11%2f11.300.20_Gambling%28ChannelIslandsLottery%29Order1997_RevisedEdition_1January2006.htm )〕 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. However ticket sales were much lower than anticipated, and the main prize was only £150,000, with £300,000 in smaller prizes. The summer lottery was cancelled in 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Channel Islands Lottery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
