On a cold, snowy Monday morning there is nothing worse than having to trek through a school parking lot to get inside the school. For the winner of the annual student council Gold Lot raffle, this will no longer be a lucky student’s reality.  

     Highly sought after by students, a Gold Lot pass is guaranteed to make parking for students easier in the long run. The Gold Lot Pass Raffle, held by Penn-Trafford Student Union, started Dec. 9 and finished on Dec. 18.

     Regular parking passes cost around $75, and there is no promise that a student will end up in the Gold Lot. Located in the front of the school by the main entrance, the Gold Lot makes student parking not only easy but fast.

     Students who park in the Gold Lot are open to benefits such as leaving before the buses and a shorter walk to the school. 

     Sophomores, juniors and seniors had the opportunity to purchase tickets. Student Union president Annabelle Aquino stated that tickets for the raffle were $5 each and … of tickets were sold. Student Union has made … for the telethon.

     “In the past Student Union has raised around $200 from the Gold Lot Pass Raffle,” Aquino stated. 

     If the winner of the raffle is a junior or senior next year, he or she will be allowed to use the pass for the entirety of the year. If the winner is a current senior, the student will be able to use the pass for the remainder of the year.

     The winner of the Gold Lot Pass Raffle will be announced on Dec. 22 during the Make-A-Wish telethon.
