Local Volunteer Fire Department Scratching Bingo, Selling Heating Oil Lottery Tickets

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. —

The Hollsopple Volunteer Fire Company had 5,000 tickets and at least one third of them are gone. It's no surprise at $10 a ticket people are willing to take a chance.

"They're willing to do it because they know where gas is going, and heating oil is right behind. We're figuring by September, the price of heating oil will be well over $4 a gallon," said Christine Eash, a volunteer firefighter.

Here's how you can get your hands on one of these lottery tickets:

Hollsopple Volunteer Fire Department: 814-479-4444 Christine Eash: 814-479-4408 or fireline621@verizon.net

The winning ticket must match the numbers drawn in the Pennsylvania Lottery's Big Four game. That drawing will be on Sept. 1.
