ANSWER: I so love that ELHS Class of 1976 brings the past and the future together in this way. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if other classes did the same? The season for class reunions and events is coming up. If you are looking for classmates or want to let readers know about scholarships and other fundraisers, send your letters to me!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Does anyone know how many outlets in Maine sell lottery tickets?

— Gil, no town

ANSWER: According to The Maine State Lottery website (www.mainelottery.com), lottery tickets are sold at more than 1,300 outlets throughout the state.

The organization is committed to providing Maine residents with “fun and exciting entertainment through the complete distribution and sales of Tri State Megabucks Plus, Powerball, Mega Millions, Hot Lotto, Lucky for Life, Gimme 5, Tri-State Pick 3 and Pick 4 and an extensive array of instant lottery tickets.”

Did you know the Maine State Lottery was established in 1974 by voters in a statewide referendum? In 2004, Maine joined the multi-jurisdictional jackpot game, Powerball; in 2009, Maine joined the multi-jurisdictional jackpot game, Hot Lotto; on May 9, 2010, Maine joined the multi-jurisdictional jackpot game, Mega Millions; and on March 3, 2012, Maine joined the multi-jurisdictional Lucky for Life.

Each year, millions of dollars are returned to players in prize money. Local Maine businesses receive millions of dollars in commissions and bonuses for selling lottery products and the programs and services supported by the state’s General Fund receive over $50 million. That’s a lot of cash! I’d love to hear from people who have had success with playing. It’s fun as long as you “play responsibly!”
