Golden Ticket Available for Pittsburgh Sports Fans

Junior Achievement of Western Pennsylvania, an organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy, is sponsoring a raffle where the prize is a grown-up version of the "Golden Ticket."

Junior Achievement has assembled an extraordinary prize for Pittsburgh sports fans, as the winner of this fundraiser—determined by the Pennsylvania Lottery's evening Big 4 number on Sept. 1—will receive a pair of tickets to each of the following attractions (except where noted):

• Pittsburgh Steelers (full season of home games)
• Pittsburgh Penguins (full season of home games)
• Duquesne University men's basketball (full season of home games)
• University of Pittsburgh football (full season of home games)
• University of Pittsburgh men's basketball (full season of home games)
• Penn State University football (FOUR tickets for a full season of home games)
• 2011-12 NCAA Division I men's basketball championships (second and third rounds, CONSOL Energy Center)

Raffle tickets will be sold by Junior Achievement through Aug. 31 for $50 each.

"It's the ultimate Pittsburgh sports package," President of Junior Achievement Dennis Gilfoyle, a resident from Blossom Drive, said.

Each ticket has four four-digit numbers on it, meaning that each ticket has four chances to win. A limited number of tickets will be sold. They can be ordered via the Junior Achievement website at www.jawesternpa.org or by calling the Junior Achievement office at 412-208-4747.

Junior Achievement provides in-school and after-school programs that focus on three key content areas for students: work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy. Junior Achievement reaches more than 61,000 students in western Pennsylvania through approximately 3,000 local volunteers.
