On Saturday, September 19, there was a crisp smell of apple in the autumn air thanks to Greenock U.M. Church, located on Greenock-Buena Vista Road in Elizabeth Township. This is the third annual year they hosted this event, and they say it will not be their last.

The Nativity Church 2016 Lottery Calendars will be available for purchase beginning October 15, 2015 at $30 each. The calendars are professionally printed in 4” x 6” booklet form, each one having a 3-digit number assigned to it that is good for the entire year.

If your calendar number matches the Pick 3 number drawn by the PA Lottery Commission (7 p.m. drawing, first draw, straight hit only), you win the amount of money listed on the calendar for that day. It’s that easy, and there is no limit to how many times you can win per year. If your number is drawn, you win. We keep the records and automatically send you a check for your winnings.

The prize money breaks down as follows:

• 355 days @ $50/day
• 9 holidays @ $100/day
• Christmas Day & New Year’s Day @ $150/day

Call the parish office at 412-655-3000 for more info. It’s never too early to think about Christmas. Lottery calendars make great gifts.
