Pennsylvania Lottery Offers WSOP Seats in Special Draw

In an ingenious move to bring together America�s favourite gambling pastimes, playing high-stakes poker and buying up rafts of lottery tickets, the Pennsylvania State Lottery is offering five players the chance to go to the World Series of Poker in a $100,000 draw on April 10.

With each prize worth $20,000, the five contestants will receive a $10,000 seat at the WSOP, round trip air tickets, six nights in a five star hotel and $1,000 to spend - presumably on buying more chips when they�ve been knocked out of the tourney. Somewhat surprisingly, the lottery is also offering the chance to cash-in on the prize, with those under the age of 21 being compelled to do so (although they could probably just buy a seat for themselves.

Entries have to be received by April 7, but there is every chance that if you live in Pennsylvania and don�t have a spare $20,000 stuffed under the mattress, that you could be going to the WSOP. If not, you can always watch it on TV like last year.
