Mass Lottery,Mega Millions: The $252 million Mega Millions jackpot numbers were drawn amid lottery fever across the country. The winning Mega Millions lottery numbers were: 3, 12, 19, 22 and 40 with the Mega Ball, 2. The unusually high lottery prize has drawn in players in each of the 12 participating states as people dream of getting rich off their $1 investment. With jackpots of this size, you start to see people who don’t normally play a game like Mega Millions buying a ticket,” said Dominick DeMarco, a spokesman for the New Jersey Lottery. They may notice it’s over 100 million, and they’ll say, ‘OK, I’ll take a shot at it. The publicity of large jackpots from local newspapers and vendor signs help bring the lottery to the attention of new players, he said.

ProJo.com’s Wednesday report on the attack ran with the headline, “Same-sex marriage protesters assaulted with food,” and didn’t mention the pepper spray until the second-to-last paragraph. The following morning, reporter Kate Branson used a more nuanced headline (“Update: 4 accused of hurling food at activists in Warwick”), but at least mentioned the pepper spray in the second paragraph.

The Providence Journal’s coverage of the assault on traditional marriage advocates in Warwick, Rhode Island on July 28 has consistently downplayed how pepper spray was used on the conservative protesters, in favor of how food was thrown at them.

The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property, also known as the American TFP, is a conservative Catholic group based in the central Pennsylvania town of Spring Grove, and supported by hundreds of thousands of donors all over the U.S. They are conducting a “traditional marriage crusade” in the northeastern states of New York, Rhode Island, and Maine. “Caravans” of their young volunteers are traveling across those three states, and stop at busy intersections, holding signs expressing their support of traditional marriage, which they believe to be a sacrament.
