LOTTERIES, when I
was a girl, were con-
fined to the Irish

Sweepstake, as I recall.

They were also consid:

you know.

Tcertsiaty never had a
ticket on such, good grief,
they cost a dollar, at least,
and who had one of those to
throw around?

Weill, grown-ups did, of
course, and | remember the
stern and upright step-father
buying the [rish on a regular
basis — weren't they annu-

anything.

Talking about this with
my husband reminded him
ofa friend who actually did
win one, and who used the
money to go to University
and ended up with a degree
in law.

I've had. good fortune in
alot of ways in my life, with
regard to marriage and work
and family and adventure,
but I really can’t get excited
about the 6/49 or the B.C.
lottery.

For one thing, the idea
of even one million dollars is
an awful responsibility, and
I"m too old to use it as
imaginatively as it would
deserve.

Our Lions Gate Hospital
game is surely deserving of
our attention, but it is a
one-time effort and ina dif’
ferent category.

True, if it works, and
other institutions are also
going this route, it too may
be repeated on a regular
basis.
