World Food Day: Oct 16

From the awareness-of-food-crisis dept. (5524) (0) by Luis

Here is an idea, instead of gambling by buying a lottery ticket this weekend, how about donating that same amount to FAO for World Food Day? It should make you happier to think that somebody some where is going to eat because of your kindness. (yeah, if you are the 1 in 13,983,816 millions, who actually hit the lottery, you might actually be able to help more. But this is a really, really unlikely scenario. If you simply donate $1 now, you will contribute to stopping somebody's hunger right the way!)

To win you must have one of the following matches against the number actually drawn:

Match 6 (Jackpot Win!) Odds = 1:13,983,816

Match 5 Odds = 1:54,201

Match 4 Odds = 1:1,032

Match 3 Odds = 1:57
