What do the proles consider a "serious piece of news" in 1984?I belive this is in chapter eight, in book one.

In Part One, Chapter Eight of “1984,” as Winston is
walking past a pub where the proles frequented, he sees a group of men gathered close
together.  One is holding a newspaper and they are all concentrating hard on it. 
Winston can tell by the expression on their faces that this was “serious piece of news”
that they were reading.  The group broke up, but two of the men almost came to blows
over what they were reading. It was the results of the
Lottery.

To many of the proles, the Lottery was the sole
reason for living.
