Boston woman wins final $2.5M grand prize in this $10 holiday lottery game – MassLive

The final $2.5 million grand prize remaining in a holiday-themed scratch ticket game released last year was recently claimed.
Celene Chen, of Boston, won the $2.5 million prize from a “$2,500,000 Merry & Bright” scratch ticket. The game costs $10 per ticket to play and was released in October 2024.
This was the third and final $2.5 million prize remaining to be claimed in the game. One $1 million prize remains to be claimed as of late November.
Chen came forward on Nov. 10 to claim her prize and chose the cash option to receive over $1.6 million, before taxes. She plans to buy a house with her winnings.
Chen bought her winning ticket in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston, at Players Cafe located at 950 Hyde Park Ave. The store will receive a $25,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Mohamed El-Erian Argues Bitcoin's Drop Is Due To Flight of Speculative 'Tourist' Investors, But This Analyst Says It's 'Not the End of the World' – Benzinga

Economist Mohamed El-Erian said on Tuesday that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is still dominated by “tourist” investors who fuel short-term price swings, pointing to the heavy outflows from the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT).
El-Erian, who is the Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, argued that Bitcoin’s investor pyramid remains “upside down,” i.e, while the base of long-term holders has grown, the speculative "tourist" owners still dominate the top layer.
“Bitcoin's recent price declines have been associated with a significant flight of these top-layer tourist investors,” El-Erian said, highlighting the sharp outflows from the iShares Bitcoin ETF, the world’s largest cryptocurrency-focused investment vehicle.
The ETF has recorded about $2.27 billion in outflows this month, according to data from SoSo Value, a dramatic turnaround from $3.93 billion in net inflows in October.

However, the CNBC report and chart cited by El-Erian sparked some controversy.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas said the chart, which oddly included outflows for October as well, was “way off.”
“Not sure if bad data or purposely altered to try and scare ppl,” Balchunas said, attaching a Bloomberg chart that matched the SoSo Value data.
Balchunas said November outflows are less than 3% of the fund's total assets under management. “Not exactly the end of the world, I know.”
El-Erian’s observations come amid a sharp correction in the Bitcoin market. From the all-time highs set last month, the apex cryptocurrency crashed to $81,000, wiping out all its gains this year.
Moreover, spot Bitcoin ETFs have collectively recorded about $3.57 billion in outflows so far this month.
El Erian previously admitted to making “behavioral mistakes” with Bitcoin. In a 2021 CNBC interview, he revealed that he bought Bitcoin during the “crypto winter” of 2018 but sold too early.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $87,815.31, down 0.18% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
Shares of IBIT rose 0.22% in after-hours trading to $49.67. The stock closed 2% lower at $49.56 during Tuesday’s regular trading session.
Benzinga's proprietary Edge Rankings show Momentum as the strongest category for IBIT at 23.15/100. To see how the stock ranks for Value, Growth and other indicators, click here.

Habitat for Humanity sets Purses for a Purpose bingo night – Marshall News Messenger

Published 11:24 am Friday, October 17, 2025
By Robin Y. Richardson
Northeast Texas Habitat for Humanity is bringing back its Purses for a Purpose fundraiser Oct. 28 to aid its mission of providing housing for residents in Harrison, Gregg and Upshur counties.
The bingo-style event gives attendees the opportunity to snag a chic purse while indulging in “good food, good fun and fellowship,” said Development Manager Garnett Johnson.
Tickets are available as well as sponsorships. The event is set 5 to 8 p.m. at Marshall Convention Center.
“Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to bring people together to build homes, community and hope,” Johnson said.
Habitat for Humanity teams with working families to build and buy an affordable home. The program guarantees that mortgage payments will be no more than 30% of the homeowner’s monthly income.
In addition to helping residents realize their dreams of becoming a homeowner, Habitat for Humanity also provides assistance for homeowners who are elderly and disabled.
“The funding (raised from Purses for a Purpose event) will go back into our community,” Garnett said. “We do a lot of critical home repair and home repair as needed.”
Harrison County accounts for about 30% of Habitat projects the agency has completed in its three-county service region over the past year.
This past year’s event drew a sold-out crowd with 153 tickets sold. Garnett an even larger crowd is expected this year.
“This year, we’re going to increase that amount. Last year, we only did half of the Caddo room (at Marshall Convention Center). This year we’re looking to expand and utilize that entire room,” she said.
Former Councilman and local Realtor LaDarius Carter will be bingo caller.
“It’s a bingo fundraiser, so the purses are prizes,” said Garnett, noting various designer bags from Michael Kors to Kate Spade, Coach and more will be in store.
“We’ll also have 10 wonderful raffle items that people will be able to buy tickets to put your ticket into a raffle,” she said. “It will be a nice time out.”
Tickets for the event include dinner, adult beverages and 10 games of bingo. Tickets are $50 for open seating or $400 for a reserved table of eight. The deadline is Sunday.
