Coveted tickets land at Lottery
The Massachusetts Lottery has paid out millions of dollars over the last six years on sponsorship deals and other transactions that have allowed the agency to obtain thousands of coveted tickets to the Red Sox, the Celtics, the Patriots, and the Bruins.
The saving of the Green
Even before the final ping-pong ball dropped at last May's draft lottery, Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck knew the numbers weren't going the team's way. The two top picks were out of reach, and with them perhaps his dream of restoring, and soon, the luster of the Green. (By Shira Springer, Boston Globe)
Giddy, and a little sheepish, loyal fans return
Patrick Princi was a regular at Celtics home games, sitting with his dad under the Heineken sign in the old Boston Garden, and dreaming in vivid green. But that was decades ago. Over the years, and especially during the late 1990s, Princi not only abandoned the club, he even turned down the occasional offer of free tickets. (By Matt Viser, Boston Globe)
Obama backers set sights on November
Senator Barack Obama's Massachusetts supporters began focusing their efforts on the November election yesterday, fanning out to busy areas in Boston to register voters, even as the candidate's Democratic primary campaign against Senator Hillary Clinton continued. (By John C. Drake, Boston Globe)
