Special Games
For its 25th anniversary, the Lottery held its first raffle; 375,000 tickets were sold, with three prizes of $1 million; four of $100,000; and 350 of $1,000. In the first drawing, all tickets were sold. In spring 2008, a second raffle was held; however, over 100,000 tickets were unsold. The cost of a ticket in both raffles was $20.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or games:
“The books may say that nine-month-olds crawl, say their first words, and are afraid of strangers. Your exuberantly concrete and special nine-month-old hasn’t read them. She may be walking already, not saying a word and smiling gleefully at every stranger she sees. . . . You can support her best by helping her learn what she’s trying to learn, not what the books say a typical child ought to be learning.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
“Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
