Schumer Announces Pope Ticket Winners

New York Senator Charles Schumer has announced the 100 winners of his statewide lottery to get a pair of tickets to see Pope Francis in Washington.

They'll attend a papal audience on the West Lawn of the Capitol following the Pope's address to Congress. But the big winner who gets to sit with the Senator for the Pope's Congressional address is Carmen Esteras from the Bronx.

Schumer says he received more than 11,000 entries from those hoping to see the Pope in person.
