Village Pantry, Hoosier Lottery Show St. Patrick's Day Spirit

INDIANAPOLIS -- Village Pantry is getting its green on today with a free coffee and doughnut promotion as the city celebrates its 33rd Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade.

The parade, sponsored by the Hoosier Lottery, kicked off at 11:30 a.m. But the fun begins earlier with the giveaways from Village Pantry, which began at 10 a.m. Meanwhile, Hoosier Lottery will be handing out lottery tickets, necklaces and candy along the parade route.

Hoosier Lottery will also be giving away $1 million to one of five finalists from its “Lucky Millionaire 2nd Chance” promotion. In addition, one lucky person will have a chance to win $500 in cash. Tony Lamont, the long-time voice of the Hoosier Lottery, will emcee the program.
