The suspense over who bought the two winning tickets in the $380 million Mega Millions lottery focused Wednesday on two small towns nestled 125 miles apart in the snowcovered Pacific Northwest. One was sold at a Safeway supermarket here in eastern Washington, and the other in Post Falls, Idaho. No one has come forward yet to claim the prize, with each ticket worth $190 million. "We don't know if it's a working stiff or a retired person," resident Richard Hart said at the Safeway. The prospect of winning the second biggest jackpot in history drew huge interest across the country as thousands of people lined up to buy tickets in the 41 states and Washington, D.C., where the lottery is held.
A day after the drawing, all eyes were on a region where most of the nation's frozen french fries are produced, and on the similarity between the winning digits and the ones used by a character on the television show "Lost." The winners had to match five regular numbers plus the "Mega ball." The winning numbers were 4, 8, 15, 25 and 47, with the Mega ball number of 42. Four of the six winning numbers matched numbers prominently featured throughout the popular series 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42. Video producer Ryan Jones of New York said he and a coworker pooled their money to buy 10 tickets together, but he returned to the grocery store an 11th entry just to play the "Lost" numbers. Mega Millions said 25,587 tickets matched three of the winning numbers, plus the bonus number so anyone who played the "Lost" numbers won $150 per ticket. 'Miracle' plane to go to museum Mitch Weiss The Associated Press The US Airways jet that made a near-miraculous landing on the Hudson River in 2009 will finally reach its destination, but as a museum piece rather than in service.
The Carolinas Aviation Museum has almost completed an agreement to buy the damaged plane from the insurance company that owns it, museum president Shawn Dorsch said Wednesday. The museum is in Charlotte, which was the destination of US Airways Flight 1549 until a flock of geese disabled the engines. Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger glided it to a safe landing on the Hudson in New York City and all 155 passengers and crew members were rescued.
