It's a Wonderful Life, when you win the Maryland Lottery!
I was in disbelief at first, but, by golly, there really are actual scenes from the greatest Christmas movie of all time on these lottery scratch-off tickets.
Top prize? A cool $20,000 - the equivalent of a Powerball jackpot when the film was released, I guess. But enough to keep old Mr. Potter off your back for a few months.
According to the back of the tickets, Jimmy Stewart's family, and Donna Reed's estate, both gave permission for their likenesses to be used on lottery scratch-off games.
"Hee-haw!"
Frankly, as a huge fan of the movie, I like the idea. It sure beats the same old boring tickets. Even Marylanders' vices are susceptible to the Christmas spirit! By the way, you can buy these at Bradley Care drugs in downtown Bethesda, in the Bradley Shopping Center. They are $2 per ticket.
