Every few months, another national lottery jackpot approaches record (or near-record) territory. The jackpot for Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing has soared to $1.55 billion because no one has matched the six winning numbers in 31 straight drawings dating back to April 18.Not counting the current prize, both Powerball and Mega Millions have seen their jackpots land in the Top 10 list five times in the past two years. Billion-dollar payouts used to be extremely rare. Not anymore.So what has changed? In 2015, Powerball increased the number of white balls from 59 to 69 and shrunk the number of red balls from 35 to 26. This improved your odds of winning something, but lowered your odds of winning the jackpot from 1-in-175-million to 1-in-292-million, according to NerdWallet.In 2017, Mega Millions raised its ticket price from $1 to $2 which naturally increased the jackpots. It also added ten numbers to the Mega Ball (now numbered 1-25) while subtracting just five white balls (now numbered...Long Beach launches community crisis response team to address certain calls for service

By Alanna Durkin Richer | Associated PressDonald Trump’s legal team on Monday urged the judge overseeing the election conspiracy case against the former president to reject prosecutors’ proposed protective order concerning evidence in the case, saying it is overly broad and restrictive of his First Amendment rights.Lawyers for the early 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner said the judge should impose a more limited protective order that would prevent the public disclosure of only materials deemed “sensitive” — such as grand jury documents — rather than all evidence handed over by the government in the case accusing Trump of conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss.Trump’s lawyers, who have characterized the case as an attack on his right to free speech, told the judge that the need to protect sensitive information about the case “does not require a blanket gag order over all documents produced by the government.”“In ...SF Giants face a choice: To pitch, or not to pitch, to Shohei Ohtani

When it comes to pitching to Shohei Ohtani, the San Francisco Giants have a pretty good idea of what they’re going to do this offseason.The two-way superstar is set to hit free agency in the winter, and the Giants will be one of the many teams making an all-out pursuit to convince him to wear their uniform and cash their checks, which are sure to set records for North American sports.But first, they must deal with him in an opposing uniform this week. That is not so simple.“From my perspective, he’s probably the most dangerous hitter in baseball,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said, also putting San Diego’s Juan Soto in the conversation. “We were looking at his numbers against lefties and righties, and they’re scary good.”Increasingly, that has led teams to raise the question: Why even give him a chance?Last week, Ohtani played a stretch of six games in which he was intentionally walked six times. That kind of treatment is reserved for th...Outside Lands adds this chart-topping pop star to 2023 festival lineup
