The Second Most Famous Groundhog in PA
Punxsutawney Phil has had his day, and love it or hate it, we’re apparently in for 6 more weeks of winter. The second most famous groundhog in PA though, Gus the “spokesgroundhog” for the Pennsylvania Lottery, has a message everyone can love: the Pennsylvania Lottery directs all proceeds to programs that benefit older residents.
Since ticket sales began in 1972, the Pennsylvania Lottery has contributed more than $31 billion to benefit programs that include property tax and rent rebates; free and reduced-fare transportation services; the low-cost prescription programs PACE and PACENET; care services; and local services provided by the 52 Area Agencies on Aging – like us!
We are proud to be part of a Commonwealth that not only shares our view on the value and importance of older adult lives, but “puts the money where the mouth is”!
