BOSTON — Massachusetts Lottery officials have not noticed any change in business due to the increasing prominence of online fantasy sports games like Draft Kings, but are "continuously monitoring" the situation.
"We haven't seen any type of impact as far as revenues go. In general, our understanding is that it is a fundamentally different player than the type we usually capture," Lottery Executive Director Michael Sweeney told the News Service.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA — Streams of hopefuls traveled overnight, on buses and motorbikes, arriving under nightfall early Tuesday morning for a chance to see the pope on his last day in Cuba.
Pope Francis celebrated a morning Mass on Tuesday at Our Lady of Charity shrine, dedicated to Cuba's revered patron saint, in nearby El Cobre then visited Santiago's main cathedral and blessed the city. Later in the day, he boarded a plane to the USA to start his visit there, where he's scheduled to travel to Washington, Philadelphia and New York.
