Pope Francis greets newly appointed cardinals.

Senator Chuck Schumer has tickets to see the Pope when he visits the US and he's offering you a chance to win them.

"There'll be one lucky winner who'll sit in the gallery and we are auctioning off 100-pairs of tickets to sit in the mall."

Senator Chuck Schumer gets one seat in the gallery for the Pope's speech to Congress. He is auctioning that off, along with offering 200 tickets that get you in with the big crowd expected on the National Mall for an audience with the Pope.

"To participate, it's very simple. You just go on my website - schumer dot Senate dot gov and fill in your name. On August 27th we will pick the lucky winners in a lottery."

Schumer says a lot of New Yorkers are very fond of the Pope and would love the chance to see him.
