“St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17 across the globe to recognize Irish culture and history. The Irish first began observing St. Patrick’s Day around the 10th century, where a Roman Catholic feast was held in honor of Saint Patrick, who is believed to have died on March 17, 461, according to History.com”
In Oregon we go them one better. Every year The Oregon State Lottery holds a drawing with the grand prize of $1,000,000.00. And, as they shamelessly advertise, it is your best chance of winning a million dollars as they only sell 250,000 tickets at $10.00 each. The odds of winning are 250,000 to 1; still impossible but better looking on paper that the 295,000,000 to 1 of the Mega Millions game.
I tossed away my usual ten this year with the same result: $0 in return. I am a little down so if you have an extra million lying around I would appreciate you sending it to me. Or better yet, send it to The Ukraine. I doubt anyone there had time to buy a ticket.
