Last night’s winning numbers for “Win for Life,” a game of the Oregon Lottery: 8, 20, 73, 77.

But that website doesn’t have is the results for a lottery’s importance not measured in a dollar sign and zeros…

Covered widely by big media, and for good reason, the state of Oregon is offering a few of its luckiest citizens not eligible for Medicaid the opportunity to win health insurance.

Really? Are they serious?

The article reports that only a few thousand out of more than 80,000 applicants will get lucky.  It seems like a rather shameful situation to me.
