Mystery winner of whopping $83.5M lottery may never see her money — due to a sudden technicality

A Texas woman with a winning $83.5 million lottery ticket may never get her mega payout because officials are investigating the app she used.

The woman, who has not been publicly identified, bought $20 worth of Texas Lotto tickets for the Feb. 17 drawing on the app Jackpocket — a lottery courier service state lawmakers are now trying to ban.

*** end quote ***

Why is the Gooferment involved in gambling in the first place?

And, if the “courier service” is a legal business now, what’s the problem?

Will the State refund all the tickets purchased thru the app?

I don’t think so.

And, economics experts have all pointed out that these State run games are a tax on the poor.  As well as provide lucrative “jobs” for Gooferment bureaucrats.

Like so many other things run by the Gooferment, the private sector could do it better and give the players a better prompter payout.

Argh!

RELIGION: Teens kicked out of elite Catholic school for ‘blackface’ awarded $1M

Teens kicked out of elite Catholic school for ‘blackface’ awarded $1M by jury after proving it was just acne mask

Story by Isabel Keane

*** begin quote ***

Two teens kicked out of their elite California Catholic school while falsely accused of wearing blackface have been jointly awarded more than $1 million after proving it was just a green acne face mask.

The then-students at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View were just 14 when they took a photo during a sleepover in 2017 of them wearing the treatment in solidarity with a friend suffering from severe acne, their lawsuit said.

The treatment, bought by one of the boy’s moms, was light green when applied and turned dark green once dry.

*** end quote ***

Over the years, I’ve come to believe that “organized religion” is yet another useless drone in humanity’s “beehive”.  

I guess these “Catholics” forgot all the admonitions about “suffer the little children to come unto me”,  the Good Samaritan, and “Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.”.

Particualrly — “Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”

It seems like the “Liberals” in the Catholic Church were so anxious to be “good guys” that they left their consciences at the convenience of the mob.

So sad.  And, congrats to that jury to show them the errors of their ways in a form they might understand,

Shame on them.

 LA homeowner fatally shoots suspect during attempted burglary as horrified child, grandma watch

A Los Angeles homeowner shot and killed a suspected burglar over the weekend after a group of men wearing dark hoodies and masks broke into his home — where a child and grandmother were left rattled by the brazen attempted burglary.

Police responded to the Granada Hills home around 5 a.m. Saturday morning after receiving radio calls of shots fired inside the residence.

The homeowner told police he was inside his home when three or four unknown men wearing “dark clothing, hoodies and masks” broke in, the Los Angeles Police Department wrote on X.

“A suspect pointed a weapon at the victim and while the suspects were inside the residence, the victim produced a firearm and a shooting occurred,” the department wrote. 

*** and ***

The homeowner, who was photographed outside the residence seemingly in handcuffs, was taken to the Devonshire Community Police Station to be interviewed, though they were later released.
