Ohio Resident Wins $1 Million in Lottery Scratch-off
BELLEFONTAINE, OH – Mr. Sandy is celebrating a significant windfall this spring, having won $1 million from the Ohio Lottery's $50 Billion scratch-off game. He recounted the fortuitous moment that led to his win, sharing that instead of cashing in a $50 ticket, he decided to try his luck again at the clerk's suggestion. "I let her pick, and she picked it and gave it to me and there it was," Mr. Sandy described.
Following his big win, Mr. Sandy opted for a cash payout, which amounted to $500,000 before taxes. After the mandatory state and federal deductions of 28%, he is set to receive $360,000. This financial boost comes at an opportune time as Mr. Sandy mentioned, "We're actually in the mix of building a house, so it kind of saved me from loans and you know all those finances that come with it."
In addition to using his winnings to support his new home construction, Mr. Sandy has plans to invest a portion of the money. His win comes from the Billion game, a $50 scratch-off that offers a top prize of $1 million a year for 20 years. As of Wednesday, three top prizes remain.
Newark Police Officer Under Investigation For Action During Dismantling Rutgers Pro-Hamas Protest
NEWARK, NJ — Today, Rutgers University Police, assisted by Newark Police for traffic control, dismantled a student protest encampment at Rutgers University-Newark. The decision to remove the encampment came from the university police, with Newark officers positioned to manage traffic not engaging directly in the removal.
During the operation, three Newark Police officers, initially assigned to traffic duties, intervened to aid Rutgers Police who had detained a man after a chase and were facing a growing crowd. The crowd was subsequently dispersed, and the detained individual was released without charges by Rutgers Police, allowing Newark officers to resume their traffic control posts.
Newark's Mayor Ras J. Baraka and Public Safety Director Fritz G. Frage commend Rutgers University-Newark for its handling of the situation, particularly noting the respectful approach towards the protesters which has been seen as a model for managing campus protests nationally. Chancellor Nancy Cantor was specifically thanked for her leadership and the university's commitment to maintaining peace and respecting students' rights to assemble.
In an unrelated incident, one Newark Police officer is under investigation for inappropriate conduct at the scene. The city maintains its stance on respecting public rights and diverse viewpoints, ensuring that all engagements are handled with due respect and legal adherence.

Body Found in Basem*nt of Philadelphia Man Convicted of Murdering Wife, Burying Her in Shallow Grave
JOHNSTOWN, PA — Brian Bradley Giles was convicted on Thursday for the murder of his wife, Nancy Giles, who was found in a shallow grave in 2019. Following his conviction, Cambria County authorities discovered human remains in the basem*nt of the Johnstown home where the couple previously resided.
Brian Giles reacted to his conviction with a mixture of humor and bitterness. "Nope, I’m innocent, but if this is what they want to do let them do it, man,” Giles said in an interview with Johnstown Fox affiliate WWCP. “I’ve been railroaded before. It’s all good. There ain’t nothing I can hope for, right? Everybody got what they wanted.”
Over the course of the investigation, Giles reportedly changed his account of events 18 times, according to prosecutors.
The discovery of additional human remains came not only after his murder conviction but also during the ongoing search for his missing girlfriend, Jilly Todaro. Cambria County Coroner Jeff Lees stated, “This is going to be a lengthy investigation and methodical process in removing these remains.”
