Every year for Easter, the White House hosts an Easter Egg Roll event on the lawn with the President, their family and of course a lot of kids and bunnies! And according to Fox 5, you can actually find your own way of being there! It's called the White House Easter Egg Roll Lottery!
"The White House Easter Egg Roll is a tradition that dates to 1878. Originally, young children in Washington, D.C. would flock to Capitol Hill every Monday after Easter for egg rolling and a day of activities. Members of Congress grew tired of the growing crowds and passed an Act of Congress which prohibited egg rolling on the Capitol grounds. The event was moved to the White House in 1878 after President Hayes was approached by young children to use his backyard to roll eggs. Nearly every Easter since, the White House has invited young children to roll eggs on the White House lawn."
The lottery is open until March 4th and it is free to apply. 6 tickets per household can be requested. Winners will be announced March 14th for the April 22nd event. If you wanna join the lottery, sign up HERE!
