THREE young people are looking forward to setting fire to a mound of money after winning the Put a Match to Million competition.

The aim of the competition was for people aged 18 or younger to come up with ideas as how to raise money for Les Bourgs Hospice.

The three winners will be taken to a mystery location in the next few weeks to burn the Guernsey notes.
