It’s the biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever. Feeling lucky?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:37:49 GMT

The largest Mega Millions jackpot ever is up for grabs Tuesday night.The odds of winning are slim, less than 1 in 302 million, but if someone lucks out, they’ll wake up more than $1.5 billion richer — at least, before taxes.The reason the jackpot grew so big is no one has matched all the necessary numbers going back to mid April, but that’s all due to change Tuesday night, according to customers who bought their tickets from Crescent Wine and Spirits in Bowie, Maryland.“Of course, everybody thinks they have the winning ticket, but I know I have it,” said one woman, who chose to stay anonymous because of the windfall she’s expecting in her bank account. She vowed most people will never know she won.“My neighbors will probably find out when I start doing things to the house,” she said. “I mind my own business, I expect them to mind their own business,” she added with a laugh.The other four biggest Mega Millions jackpots were all won by a single ticket, but apparently that won’t be the...

DeSantis despide a su directora de campaña mientras Trump lo supera ampliamente en encuestas

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:37:49 GMT

MIAMI – El gobernador de Florida y aspirante a la nominación republicana en 2024, Ron DeSantis, reemplazó a su directora de campaña, Generra Peck, después de un significativo recorte de personal en su equipo y mientras se halla cada vez a mayor distancia del favorito en las encuestas, el expresidente Donald Trump.En un comunicado divulgado este martes, el medio The Messenger News informó que Peck será reemplazada por el jefe de gabinete de la oficina del gobernador, James Uthmeier.De acuerdo con el citado medio, la directora de campaña saliente permanecerá como estratega de la campaña y “como parte de la reestructuración”. Peck guió la reelección a gobernador de DeSantis el año pasado, pero “rápidamente se convirtió en objeto de críticas de los asesores y donantes de DeSantis a mediados de julio después de que su campaña presidencial se estancara y el dinero se agotara”, añadió el medio.Según informó el martes NBC desde Tallahassee, la capital de F...

Former NASCAR Cup Series champion Chase Elliott running out of time to make playoffs

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Chase Elliott is running out of time.The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion, whose year was stunted by a snowboarding accident and hindered by a suspension, needs to win one of the next three races to earn a spot in the playoffs.“It’s the only option,” he acknowledged.On a short week, the series shifts to the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Verizon 200 on Sunday before the regular season closes with races at Watkins Glen and Daytona.Elliott lasted just 34 laps in the FireKeepers 400 at Michigan, where Chris Buescher won his second straight race on Monday, because a tire failure sent his car into the wall.“Add it to the list,” he said.The Hendrick Motorsports star had a setback March when he had surgery on his left leg after a snowboarding accident in Colorado, knocking him out of the Pennzoil 400 in Las Vegas days later and the next five races. After coming back, NASCAR suspended him for one race after it determined he deliberately wrecke...

Jets’ defense ready to face a new QB in Carolina after learning sessions in camp with Aaron Rodgers

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:37:49 GMT

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers was calling out signals during a recent walkthrough practice when C.J. Mosley spotted exactly what the New York Jets’ offense was lining up to do.It’s an on-field chess match between the New York Jets middle linebacker and quarterback — and Mosley cracked the code in that moment.“He looked at me and said, ‘What did you say?’ and changed the play,” a smiling Mosley said Tuesday, adding it has been one of the “coolest things” he has seen in training camp this summer. “And then I was like, ‘Oh, that’s different right there.’ Just little stuff like that.”But that has actually been the big stuff Rodgers has brought to the Jets since being acquired from Green Bay in April. The 39-year-old Rodgers is building a rapport with the offense and looking to turn one of the NFL’s worst units the past few seasons into one of its best. He’s also helping the defense improve by keeping that side of the ball on its toes. Rodgers rout...

UNC is appealing to the NCAA for immediate eligibility for transfer WR Devontez Walker

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:37:49 GMT

North Carolina coach Mack Brown said Tuesday the school is appealing to the NCAA for immediate eligibility for transfer Devontez Walker, the Tar Heels’ presumed No. 1 receiver whose status is in question weeks before the opener.The NCAA denied the waiver for Walker to play immediately after his transfer from Kent State, where he played two seasons. NCAA rules generally allow players to transfer freely once, but Brown said Walker had enrolled at UNC in January just days before the NCAA revised rules to limit waivers for two-time transfers for evaluation on a case-by-case basis.“He’s just down, he’s wondering, he’s anxious, and it’s really, really hard to focus in practice,” Brown told reporters after Tuesday’s practice in Chapel Hill. “And I feel tough for him.”Walker is an instate product from Charlotte and had transferred to be closer to family, notably an ailing grandmother who had played a large role in raising him but has been unable to travel...

Colorado hit hardest by restaurant inflation

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:37:49 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- It's become more expensive to dine out around the country, overall, but Colorado has increased more than any other state, according to Blueprint via USA Today.Blueprint used data from the U.S. Census Bureau to determine that spending on restaurant food has increased nationwide by 10% in the last six months. That equates to an average of $222 that people are spending on dining out, take out or delivery every month. While fewer people have been dining out in the last six months, the cost of restaurant food has shot up 6% since the beginning of the year, the Blueprint study said. That is why spending on food prepared by others has increased. Mega Millions: How much of the $1.58 billion will you actually take home? But in the Centennial State, it has gone up the most at 24% from $91.45 in November 2022 to $112.95 in June 2023. Arizona was just a percentage point behind. While Coloradans and visitors to the state are spending an average of $21.50 more per person indulg...
