[B] ecause the political class Because of the national debt so high, it is able to insist that taking a chance on the power of freedom is a gamble irresponsibly. Because the government saw so far beyond its means, it would be irresponsible of him provide limited means.That's how we reached the madness of a moment when the national debt is used as an argument against spending cuts, or growth-oriented fiscal policies and regulations.

Illinois Lottery's Raffle creates four lucky millionaires ...

The Illinois Lottery held its sixth-ever Millionaire Raffle drawing yesterday — the third on St. Patrick’s Day — which instantly created four new millionaires.

The raffle drawing was held on March 17th — St. Patrick’s Day — a day traditionally thought of as “lucky”. The four new millionaires will certainly think so.

In addition to four $1 million top prizes, the St. Patrick’s Day Millionaire Raffle also awards five prizes of $100,000 and 500 prizes of $1,000.

Millionaire Raffle is a raffle-style game offered by the Illinois Lottery, with a limited number of $20 tickets. For this drawing 500,000 tickets were made available for purchase.  All tickets were sold out prior to the drawing.

With so few tickets available, Millionaire Raffle offers the best odds of any Illinois Lottery game to win $1 million.

Unlike other lotto-style games, the only way to win a prize is to match one of the six-digit numbers drawn exactly. Matching some of the correct digits or matching a number in a different order does not qualify for a prize.

All prize levels are paid out in cash, including the four jackpot prizes.
