Anonymous Copperas Cove player claims top prize in 500X scratch game – kcentv.com

COPPERAS COVE, Texas — One Copperas Cove resident has seen their life change thanks to the Texas Lottery.
Announced on Wednesday, a resident, who elected to remain anonymous, claimed the top prize-winning ticket worth $1 million in the Texas Lottery scratch ticket game 500X. The ticket was purchased at Star Mart 15, located at 1903 N. 1st St., in Copperas Cove.
Texas Lottery said this was the 12th of 15 top prizes worth $1 million to be claimed in this game, which offers more than $229 million in total prizes. Additionally, the overall odds of winning any 500X prize are one in 3.36, including break-even prizes. 
Beyond its economic impact, the Texas Lottery emphasizes its role in supporting statewide programs that rely on consistent revenue streams. Much of that money is funnelled into public education through the Foundation School Fund, but the lottery also backs initiatives such as the Fund for Veterans’ Assistance, which receives proceeds from dedicated scratch-off games. 
Since debuting the first veterans-themed ticket in 2009, those games alone have generated more than $279 million to help provide services for Texas veterans.
Lottery officials say the agency’s ongoing mix of draw games and scratch-off options remains central to its appeal, offering players a range of choices from multi-state jackpots like Powerball and Mega Millions to Texas-only options including Lotto Texas, All or Nothing, Texas Two Step, Pick 3, Daily 4 and Cash Five.
The agency promotes responsible play and maintains an active presence across social media and its website, where players can find updates, game rules and information about second-chance drawings.

Gambler turns $3.75 bet into ‘awesome’ six-figure jackpot win in Washington – Yahoo News Canada

A lucky gambler turned a $3.75 bet into a six-figure jackpot at a Washington casino.
The gambler won $162,118 at a Lion Link slot machine at Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, casino officials said in a Facebook post on Tuesday, Dec. 2.
People were quick to offer congratulations in the post’s comments.
“Wow, that’s a nice win!” someone wrote.
“Awesome hit!” wrote another person.
Several other jackpots have been reported recently at the Tacoma casino, including a $76,577 jackpot on a Mega Meltdown slot machine on Thursday, Nov. 27.
The bet was $20.
Casino officials described that jackpot as “massive” and a “mega win.”
Emerald Queen Casino has locations in Tacoma and Fife.
Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.
If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
The jackpot was worth $90 million and had an estimated cash value of $41.9 million.

This major faux pas seems obviously inconsiderate on paper, but in practice, can become unavoidable when a vacation schedule goes awry.

$3 million Mega Millions ticket sold on Long Island – Newsday

A winning second-prize ticket was sold in Mattituck for the Nov. 11 drawing of Mega Millions, the New York Lottery announced on Wednesday
No grand prize-winning tickets were sold in the $900 million drawing, whose winning numbers were 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 and the Mega ball 1. The following draw, a single winning jackpot ticket, was sold in Georgia in what then was a $980 million drawing with a cash value of $452.2 million.
The second-place consolation prize in Mega Millions is $1 million — and is affected by a built-in multiplier that makes the ticket worth $2 million, $3 million, $4 million, $5 million or $10 million. The ticket sold at NoFo Beer and Smoke at 55 Middle Rd. in Mattituck carried a 3x multiplier, making it worth $3 million.
Second-place winning tickets match all five field numbers drawn from the field of 70 white draw balls, but fail to match the yellow Mega ball drawn from a separate field of 24. Odds of matching the five numbers — but, not the Mega ball — are 1 in 12,629,232, according to the New York Lottery.

To date no one has come forward to claim the prize tied to the ticket sold in Mattituck.
NoFo manager Nil Patel told Newsday the store, which is family-owned and operated, learned of the $3 million winner the morning after the drawing — but when asked if any of his customers had come in to share news they'd won, he said: "Not yet."
"There's still someone out there with 3 million in their pocket," he said. Then, laughing, added: "Or, 1 million-something after taxes."
Patel said the store had previously sold winning tickets in various lottery drawings, but said the largest Mega winning prize ticket they'd sold was a third-prize ticket — matching four field numbers and the Mega number — worth $10,000.
"We had winners before with Mega," he said. "But never like this."

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Price Alert: Bitcoin Breaks Major Resistance – Next Stop $100,000? – marketpulse.com

3 December 2025 at 19:57 UTC
Most Read: Gold (XAU/USD) Price Reclaims $4200/oz Handle. Are Bulls Ready for a Test of $4300/oz?
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) has successfully rebounded, passing the important $93,000 price point that many market participants have been watching. This comeback is seen as a necessary relief rally, pushing Bitcoin’s price up to $93,007.12, which marks a 6.6% increase in just the last 24 hours.
After several weeks of falling prices, this price reversal seems strong and is supported by three main factors working together: significant changes in global economic policies (macroeconomic policy shifts), the fact that large investment firms can now easily buy and sell Bitcoin (unprecedented institutional distribution access), and certain patterns on the price charts that suggested a bounce was due (highly compressed technical indicators).
Source: TradingView
First, the US central bank (Federal Reserve) has officially ended its program of removing money from the economy (Quantitative Tightening or QT), which means they are now moving toward a policy that makes money more easily available (accommodating monetary policy). This boost in available money, or liquidity injection, has happened at the same time as a major shift in how large financial institutions view Bitcoin.
Second, investment firm Vanguard, which manages $9 trillion, has made it easier for its clients to access Bitcoin through certain investment products (third-party crypto ETFs).
Third, technical analysis suggests a huge move is coming. The price charts show that the price swings (volatility) have been at historic lows, a pattern that has always happened right before a massive, rapid price increase (parabolic price movements).
While these factors suggest the price is heading strongly upward and could soon go above $100,000, there is an immediate risk: the market remains fragile.
There is not enough trading volume right now (market depth has not fully recovered), meaning there isn’t much liquidity. In this kind of environment, the market is highly prone to large, sudden price swings, making it very sensitive to any bad news or unexpected selling that forces traders to quickly close their positions (liquidation events).
However, because the fundamental drivers such as money flowing from central banks and real demand from major financial institutions are so strong, experts believe this price momentum is likely to last and is more than just a temporary fluctuation.
The money flowing from large investment firms into Bitcoin has made a significant turnaround, suggesting that a period where money was rapidly leaving the market is over. Investment products known as US spot Bitcoin ETFs have started seeing money flow back in (net inflows), reversing four straight weeks where over $4.3 billion had been pulled out. Although the first week’s rebound was modest at about $70 million, this shift confirms that institutional money is actively returning to the market.
This money is not just coming from one source. While BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF is recovering, major inflows went into funds managed by Fidelity ($77.5 million) and ARK 21Shares ($88 million), showing a broad return of interest across many institutional players. These ETFs now manage over $119 billion and hold 6.5% of all existing Bitcoin, making them a permanent and crucial source of demand.
A huge structural change, dubbed the “Vanguard Effect,” also boosted demand. Vanguard, one of the world’s largest investment managers with up to $10 trillion in assets, started allowing its clients to buy crypto ETFs and mutual funds tied to Bitcoin and other digital assets (like ETH, XRP, and SOL) on its platform.
This move created immediate and massive demand, causing Bitcoin’s price to jump 6% right when the US market opened. On that first day, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF recorded about $1 billion in trading volume in the first half-hour alone. By making it easier for cautious, long-term investments, such as retirement and pension funds, to buy Bitcoin, Vanguard has permanently expanded the asset’s reach, ensuring strong, sustained demand well into 2026.
The confluence of positive structural and technical factors lends strong support to bullish forecasts heading into 2026.
Looking at structure and the setup appears highly bullish, the path forward will likely be non-linear and volatile.
The four-hour chart below has seen a shift in structure with price breaking above the previous swing high and resting on support at 91804.
Resistance to the upside may be found at 95000 before the 97000 and 100000 handles come into focus.
A potential pullback toward 90000 or the recent breakout at around the 86600 mark cannot be ruled out before the next leg higher.
The primary immediate risks center on macroeconomic data surprises. Any unexpectedly high reading in the PCE Inflation Data or stronger-than-expected labor reports could quickly dampen December rate cut expectations, triggering a sharp reversal in the relief rally.
