The drawing also produced 22 winners of $1 million across 16 states, each of whom matched all five numbers minus the Powerball. One winner from Florida will take home $2 million after matching the five numbers while playing the Power Play multiplier option....

Saturday’s jackpot was worth $112 million, with a cash value of $76.8 million. No-one won the jackpot for March 12, meaning the grand prize will increase. The next draw is on Tuesday, March 15, and the estimated jackpot is $124 million with a cash value of $81.9 million.

But no one has claimed the $277 million jackpot for the December 12 draw, according to the Powerball website. As a result, the prize money will roll over to the next drawing on Thursday, December 17. The estimated jackpot then will be $287 million (with a cash value of $222.8 million). Although no-one won the jackpot in Saturday’s draw, there were some big winners. A player in Michigan matched five white balls correctly to win a $1 million prize....

Nobody won the jackpot by matching all numbers and the Powerball, but one person did win at least $1 million by matching all five white balls. Seven people matched four white balls and the Powerball to take home a $50,000 prize, with two of those winners quadrupling their prize because they also purchased the 4x Power Play....

First Five: 2-11-22-35-60 Powerball: 23 Power Play: 2 The Powerball jackpot rolled over to $1 billion after Saturday night’s drawing produced no grand prize winners and it soared even higher with no winner on Monday.

At least 304 people were killed and about 1,800 were injured following the quake, the Associated Press reported. The storm is expected to reach Haiti by Monday and is estimated to bring anywhere from two to four inches of rain to parts of the country, according to AccuWeather, a forecasting service. The storm could bring high winds and flooding, affecting search-and-rescue efforts. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Fred also dumped heavy rains on Haiti on Wednesday, although by that time it had weakened by that time to tropical depression....

I am a veteran of the cold war. Shortly after Gorbachev came to power, I briefed a B-52 mission that would have, in the event of nuclear war, launched 12 nuclear-tipped cruise missiles against Soviet military targets. The sortie would then have penetrated Soviet airspace to launch short-range attack missiles and drop four nuclear gravity bombs. All told, I would have delivered approximately 7,760 kilotons of nuclear holocaust–roughly 485 times the hell unleashed at Hiroshima....

The charge against the Catalan coach - brought not only by sections of the media but by a significant number of match-going City fans - is that he is too attacking; that he refuses to adapt to English football. He doesn’t even coach tackles, after all. City v Everton over 3.5 goals 13/10 It is said that the most successful Premier League managers - like Jose Mourinho and, as last season progressed, Antonio Conte - would prioritise defence when needed, and grind out results in the big games....

In a clip from Saladino’s YouTube podcast, the controversial content creator said that he was receiving “200 million impressions” and “50,000 to 60,000 new followers” a month. He claims that his plan was to grow his other social media accounts and his podcast using his Twitter, which won’t work when it is banned. He also claims that if the suspension isn’t lifted he “will have to go through with a lawsuit....

“Holy Spirit, you who make me see everything and show me the way to reach my ideals. You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and you who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything, and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from you, no matter how great the material desires may be....

C.W. Bush - If he ran the Treasury the way he’s spending campaign $, we’d be back in deficit hell. McCain + Had to win Mich. and did. Now he has to prove he’s actually a Republican. Gore + Using Bradley as sparring partner to stay fit for the fall. But beware the S&P 500. Bradley - If this were the NBA, it would be time for fouls, time outs and three-point attempts....

This year’s Preakness was run over a muddy track, just like last year when American Pharoah dominated the Preakness through the slop en route to a Triple Crown. But there will be no Triple Crown this year. MORE: Preakness odds, field | Preakness photos | Preakness records The Preakness Stakes is a 1-3/16 mile, Grade I stakes race for 3-year-old horses with a $1.5 million purse run on dirt. It’s the second jewel of American horse racing’s Triple Crown, held two weeks after the Kentucky Derby and three weeks prior to the Belmont Stakes....

The post positions became official on Tuesday, with the Pimlico Race Course, operator of the Triple Crown’s second jewel, releasing the official posts for the 10-horse race. The decision came after the Kentucky Derby winner’s results were invalidated at Churchill Downs; the decision came after it tested positive for 21 picograms of betamethasone — 11 picograms more than the legal limit in races. That said, there’s still a question concerning the Triple Crown: Kentucky Derby runner-up Mandaloun could still be declared winner at the Kentucky Derby if a second drug test validates the first....

They did it, however, without the help of forward Corey Perry, who received a game misconduct and was ejected early in the first period for elbowing Nashville defenseman Ryan Ellis in the head. MORE: Dallas Stars forward Corey Perry ejected from Winter Classic for elbowing Ryan Ellis Predators stars Matt Duchene and Dante Fabbro took advantage of the ensuing power play to give Nashville a 2-0 lead after one period, but the home team came away with a victory thanks to an energy shift in the final two frames and some impressive goaltending by Ben Bishop, who saved 31 of 33 shots....

Earlier this month, WBTW reported the appearance of a terrifying sea worm in the area, known for its hook-like jaws strong enough to break through human skin. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) confirmed the influx of sea worms on Facebook, noting that the creatures, also called clam worms, “ordinarily live on the seafloor” but “undergo an incredible transformation under new and full moons in spring.” In the spring, the animals “morph into reproductive forms called ’epitokes’ as they swarm in coastal waters....

Some guys might downplay the experience because, y’know, they’re trying to be cool and all, but being selected by either the fans, their peers or a manager is a rewarding feeling. Some guys get there all the time; others not so much (did you know Corey Kluber didn’t make his first All-Star team until two years after he won his Cy Young award?). It’s such an imperfect selection process, but we’re not going to talk about that right now....
