The Nativity Church 2017 lottery calendars will be on sale beginning October 15, 2016 at $30 each. The calendars are professionally printed featuring the year-at-a-glance, with 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! There is no limit to how many times you can win per year. If your number is drawn, you win. The best part is you don’t even have to keep track of the numbers yourself. We keep the records and automatically send you a check for the winnings.

The prize money breaks down as follows:

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

Christmas is right around the corner and lottery calendars make great gifts. Please keep us in mind when you’re making your holiday gift list. Call the parish office @412-655-3000 for additional information.
