Catholic inner-city schools to benefit from lottery

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jul 25, 2006 / 22:00 pm

Seven inner-city parochial schools in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati will benefit from the commission of a $250-million Mega Millions winning lottery ticket.

The winning ticket was sold in April at a Cincinnati Kroger grocery store.  The store has decided to donate its $100,000 commission, in part, to the archdiocese’s Catholic Inner-city Schools Education Fund.  15 other charities will also receive a share of the store’s money, reported the Cincinnati Business Courier.
