A player from Florida won the Powerball jackpot last night by matching all five balls and the Powerball. As the jackpot has been won, the jackpot for Powerball’s Saturday draw is now an estimated $40 million, with a cash option of $27.9 million. Three players, from Florida, Ohio, and Virginia, each won $1 million by matching five balls. However, none of these players used the Power Play, which would have increased their winnings to $2 million....

The Powerball jackpot was worth an estimated $60 million with a cash option of $40.3 million. Nobody won the jackpot as nobody matched all five balls and the Powerball. One person did match all five balls, however, and won a $1 million prize. Ten people matched four balls and the Powerball so each won a prize of $50,000. Additionally, 196 people matched four balls and won $100 each. A further 60 people matched four balls and used the powerplay, which doubled their prizes to $200 each....

But no one claimed the $86 million jackpot in the May 16 draw, so it will carry over to the next drawing on May 21. The estimated jackpot then will be $95 million with a cash value of $76.7 million. Although no one won the jackpot in Saturday night’s draw, there were some big winners, including one player who matched five balls to win a $1 million prize. Eight players correctly matched four balls and the Powerball to win $50,000 prizes....

With participants poised to walk away with a $20 jackpot, the full line-up of numbers for the draw were: 1, 17, 38, 68 and 69, with a Powerball of 18. There was a X2 Power Play in place, meaning that some players had the ability to double their prizes. According to the lottery website, there were no jackpot winners meaning the next draw on Wednesday June 10 will have a top prize of $22 million ($16....

No one won the $31 million jackpot, according to the Powerball website. That means the top prize will continue to climb. It currently stands at an estimated $37 million jackpot for the next drawing on Monday, with a cash value of $24.8 million. Although Saturday’s jackpot was not won, there were some players who will be celebrating their large cash prizes—including a player from Florida who correctly matched all five white balls to win $1 million....

The UAE’s progression has been an odd one; they have only scored 1 goal in this competition. Their only goal came from a penalty against (you guessed it) Oman, during the first matchday of the group stages. After their 1-0 win against Oman, they drew 0-0 with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait before doing the same against Iraq in the semi-finals, but winning on penalties this time. The secret to the UAE’s defensive success has been in the new 3-4-2-1 formation that they don under their recently appointed Italian coach Alberto Zaccheroni....

The key to last week’s finding was not a million-dollar imaging device but a tape measure. Past studies have shown that autistic toddlers have abnormally large brains for their age. But because autism is rarely detected in kids younger than 2 or 3 years old, researchers have never known quite how that situation arises. Two years ago the San Diego team realized that children’s old medical records might hold important clues....

She was staying at a migrant holding center designed to hold around 100 people but an increase in arrivals meant that there were nearly 1,000 people at the center, as reported by Reuters.

In a post shared on Reddit’s Am I The A****** (AITA) subforum, user ComfortableLimit3227 said she’s pregnant and would have a 5-month-old baby by the time of the wedding. When she asked her sister (“let’s say her name’s Lisa,” the user said) whether she can bring her baby to the wedding, she said “no.” The poster said: “I accepted that and told her I won’t be able to attend. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my young kid with a sitter and my family would be at the wedding....

The result means the Gunners have failed to finish in the top four for the first time in 20 seasons. Job done! Klopp’s revolution roars on Chelsea, of course, had already secured their place at the top of the table, though still ran out 5-1 winners over relegated Sunderland. Tottenham also gave a fine account of themselves on the final day despite already being qualified for the Champions League, putting Hull to the sword in an impressive 7-1 win which saw Harry Kane add to his tally as the league’s top scorer for the season....

that is, if you can get them. Fewer than half the states maintain plans, and new ones aren’t in the works. The country is stepping away from that kind of middle-income student support. But I’m getting ahead of myself. First, some background. Almost all states offer college-savings programs known as 529s. Gains on your account come free of federal tax when used for higher education. Half the states give you breaks on state taxes, too....
