The top prize in the Sunday lottery is 200 million colons, some $377,000.
Of course this is a marketing ploy for people to participate in what has been called the voluntary tax on stupidity.
The agency, the Junta de Proteccin Social distributes a large quantity of the money collected to 400 charities and non-profit organizations. So the return on a lottery investment is only a percentage of the amount paid.
But the Junta plans two identical issues of 100,000 full tickets each. A full entero of 10 tickets costs 12,000 colons, 4,000 colons more than the usual Sunday lottery. But a 1,200-colon investment in just one-tenth of a lottery ticket or what is called a fraction would mean a 20 million-colon prize if the ticket is a winner. Thats about $38,000, which is tax-free in Costa Rica.
Expats who win should see their accountant or perhaps the Panam law firm of Mossack Fonseca & Co.
Those with gripes will be marching
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Certain to be there will be the members of the Asociacin Nacional de Empleados Pblicos y Privados. Members of the employee union plan to gather in front of the Correos de Costa Rica building at 8 a.m. to organize for their march down Avenida Segunda.
The theme this year is that workers are not responsible for the fiscal deficit and do not want higher taxes. The unions main concern is that their salaries will be cut or other benefits lost. The central government had hoped to renegotiate some agreements with public employee unions, but that plan is moving at the pace of a snail.
Many of the worker agreements have major benefits, including those for local union leaders. For example, union leaders at the state petroleum monopoly, the Refinadora Costarricense de Petrleo, receive vehicles for their use each year.
This year animal rights activists are sure to march, too. That are miffed that the legislature adjourned without passing a law to protect animals. Some lawmakers are trying to defend what they call cultural practices. These include the bull baiting that takes place at major fairs and also cock fights.
The march usually ends at the legislature where lawmakers Sunday will be voting on leadership positions for the next year.
Everyone with a gripe can show up for the march, although recent weather suggests that there might be unusual morning thunderstorms.
Walker's surrender to be remembered
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
That was the surrender of U.S. filibusterer William Walker. He surrendered to the captain of a U.S. Navy ship when his forces were surrounded by the combined armies of Central American states.
The anti-Walker forces were commanded by Costa Rican Jos Joaqun Mora Porras.
The Museo Histrico Cultural Juan Santamara will mark the surrender today. At 10 a.m. the museum will show William Walker, una historia verdadera, a 1987 U.S. film that links the events in 1857 with the wars that swept Central American in the 1980s.
The Alajuela museum also has a display that includes newspaper clippings about Walkers surrender.
The U.S. Filibusterer was not one to give up easily. The museum noted that he tried three more times to return to Central America. His last effort in 1860 ended with his execution in Trujillo, Honduras.
