A whopping £119 million was up for grabs in tonight’s EuroMillions. However, despite nearly two million winners, no one claimed the huge jackpot, meaning there is a rollover for Friday’s draw.
Half a dozen tickets agonisingly close to the jackpot, missing just one matching number.  The Thunderball was also drawn tonight, with a top prize of £500,000. There were almost 85,500 winners but nobody drew the six numbers for the half-a-million.
The Thunderball numbers drawn tonight were: 11 21 26 37 38 – the Thunderball was 9. 
The Euromillions numbers drawn tonight were: 2 4 15 21 48 – the Lucky Stars were 6 and 12.

Local • Independent • Trusted
A Philomath fundraising favorite over the years will return Friday with Turkey Bingo, scheduled to run from 5-8 p.m. in the high school auditorium with proceeds to benefit Philomath Middle School’s band, choir and drama programs.
The event will feature bingo games with frozen turkeys and other prizes, a silent auction with 20 baskets donated by local businesses and individuals, and a $10 meal deal centered on Figaro’s Pizza.
Turkey Bingo has become a beloved community tradition since its inception, though it was sidelined from 2021 through 2023 due to the pandemic. The event returned last year and organizer Shannon Webb said the demand never waned during the hiatus.
“Coming together and having fun with your friends is an appeal,” Webb said. “It’s been going on for so long that people just expect and want it. When it was gone for a few years because of COVID, people were like, ‘When is Turkey Bingo coming back?’ so there was already a long-standing want for this event.”
The fundraiser originally supported Outdoor School, the weeklong nature program for sixth graders. After voters approved a 2016 measure that provided dedicated funding for Outdoor School, organizers redirected Turkey Bingo proceeds to support other middle school programs.
Brian Skaar, who retired from teaching at the middle school last year, will return to call the games. “I’m not sure if it would be Turkey Bingo without him,” Webb said.
The funds raised will support a substantial number of young musicians and performers. According to Webb, 70 students participate in sixth-grade band, 58 in seventh- and eighth-grade band, 35 in seventh- and eighth-grade choir, and 15 in sixth-grade choir. Those students will perform at the middle school’s holiday concert on Dec. 11 at 6 p.m. in the high school auditorium.
Turkey Bingo remains by far the largest fundraiser dedicated to the middle school performing arts programs.
“We do little things here and there, small events at the school, but nothing compares to Turkey Bingo,” Webb said. “There’s definitely a lot of prep work and I’m very blessed to have many helpers with that.”
Webb credited volunteer Amy Morrison with organizing the silent auction, which generates a significant portion of the evening’s revenue.
Webb said most of the frozen turkeys are donated by families. Businesses contribute funds for various prizes — including toilet paper, a gag gift from years past that has become an annual tradition. 
Figaro’s Pizza is also contributing a significant amount of the food, Webb said, with other items donated by WinCo.
“The businesses were quite generous this year,” Webb said.
Webb said it’s not known ahead of time how many turkeys will be given away.
“It’s one of those things where we don’t know until the night of,” she said. “We have at least 30 rounds of bingo throughout the night, if not more … but we’ll try to get as many frozen turkeys out to people as possible. It’s called Turkey Bingo for a reason.”
Bingo cards are $5 each or five for $20. Attendees do not need to arrive right at 5 p.m. — Webb said games will begin around 5:20 to 5:30 after participants have time to settle in and grab food. Folks can drop in and play at any point during the evening.

East Texas’ #1 For New Country
(Tyler, Texas) – I play the Texas Lottery from time to time. It's usually a couple of cheap scratch offs just to see if I can win some folding cash. They're quick and easy to play and they're fun.
I don't play the "pick-your-number" games very often. For Wednesday night's Powerball jackpot, I may need to. The jackpot currently sits at $593 million (as of this writing on Tuesday, November 18). I think it's worth spending $10 or $15 on some numbers to try and win.
Monday night (November 17), the Powerball jackpot sat at $570 million. No one won that jackpot. There was a million-dollar winner sold in West Virginia, though. That means that, at least right now, the jackpot is almost $600 million (Texas Lottery).
Let me do my Lindale math real quick. Add the one, carry to 3, it's like $290 million after taxes, I think. That's probably completely wrong but the taxes are dumb when you win a jackpot that size. I could live on that.

Check your ticket from Monday night in case you were watching the Cowboys destroy the Raiders on Monday Night Football. The numbers are 7-33-50-57-66 and the Powerball is 23 (WFAA). Hopefully you matched a few of those numbers.
The last time I played Powerball, the only number I matched was the Powerball. I got $4 for that win which basically got my money back. I think I'll swing by QuikTrip on my way home and pick up a few numbers for tomorrow night's drawing.

Sebastopol man identified as $5 million California Lottery winner after months-long wait  San Francisco Chronicle

A resolution to recognize 25 years of organized elk hunting in Pennsylvania has been met with an interest in more transparency to the elk hunting license lottery and changes to the program are underway.
The Pennsylvania House Game and Fisheries Committee approved on Nov. 18 an amended version of House Resolution 356 to make Dec. 27 Pennsylvania Elk Hunt Day in Pennsylvania.
The resolution, by Rep. James Haddock, a Democrat serving parts of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, is designed to recognize the management of Pennsylvania’s wild elk herd.
“Every year, tens of thousands of hunters apply to hunt elk in Pennsylvania, but less than 200 are annually chosen for this opportunity,” Haddock wrote in the memo for his resolution.
The resolution was unanimously approved by the committee to move to the full house, but one member took the opportunity to look for more transparency on how the coveted licenses are awarded each year through a lottery system by the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC).
Rep. David Maloney, a Republican from Berks County and minority chairman of the committee, said he supports elk hunting, but he has some concerns.
“I would be remiss If I didn’t take the opportunity to tell you that there have been tremendous concerns with the process,” he said.
He said the legislative language that was used when elk hunting was approved explained that the Game Commission will hold a random drawing of applications for the issuance of elk licenses at the Elk Country Visitor Center in Benezette.
“I probably don’t have to tell you that it’s not done. Shocker,” Maloney said.
The winners are announced at the annual Elk Expo each summer at the center, but the names are selected in advance in Harrisburg.
While the names of the winners are announced and broadcast on a live stream video, he said that list doesn’t stay available to the public from the agency.
He’s aware of a private entity publishing the names of winners they gather at the expo, but Maloney said there’s no guarantee of the list’s accuracy or for how long it will stay online.
“If the winners are unknown, entrants and the general public have little basis on which to be confident that the lottery has been conducted in an above-board manner,” he said.
“The PGC does not conduct the Elk Lottery drawing in public during the annual Elk Expo at the Elk Country Visitor Center, nor does it preserve a public record of the lottery,” he said.
In questioning the transparency, he said, “We have individuals with the Game Commission that are actually employed with multiple family members with (elk) tags. How do you think this sits with the public and the sportsmen of Pennsylvania when there’s zero transparency to the accuracy and what you can expect even with so-called preferred (bonus) points?”
Hunters who don’t get drawn for a tag gain bonus points toward future drawings and hunters can opt for a bonus point instead of applying for a license each year.
“Preferred points, my friends, means nothing. Twenty-five years, of pulling points means nothing. And I can tell you that my desire is that this will stop and that we will get to the bottom of it, and that there will be an investigation. And transparency is what we boast about many times, but we don’t do,” Maloney said.  
“I certainly support this resolution. I appreciate the patience of the sportsmen in Pennsylvania. And I certainly hope that this is the beginning of a deep dive as to why this procedure is not right,” he concluded.
No one responded to Maloney’s concerns during the meeting.  
After the committee meeting, the Game Commission responded to Maloney’s remarks through an email.
“The Game Commission earlier this year began an extensive review of elk hunting in Pennsylvania, including the elk license lottery,” Travis Lau, communications director for the Game Commission, said through email.
“That process is ongoing, but it’s clear we have not been compliant with the letter of the law in some areas, including the drawing, which has been conducted at our Harrisburg headquarters, mainly because of concerns that limited internet/cellular service on the elk range might leave us unable to conduct the drawing there. That issue has been brought to our attention, and we will be making adjustments where necessary to ensure our process is compliant with the law going forward,” he said.
The Game Commissions board of commissioners has already approved several changes to the elk license program that will impact hunters in 2026.
All hunters will be required to first have a hunting license before applying for an elk tag. Current regulations allow anyone, regardless of what state they reside, to submit an elk license application but only require applicants to buy a license if drawn. A general hunting license for Pennsylvania residents costs $20.97 and $101.97 for nonresidents.
The commissioners also capped Pennsylvania’s elk tag awards in 2026 going to no more than 10% nonresidents each year, like regulations in some western states. Under past regulations, there was no cap on out-of-state people winning elk tags.
Another change makes being drawn for a Pennsylvania elk bull tag a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Any hunter drawn for a bull elk license in 2026 will be ineligible in future bull drawings. Previously, a hunter who drew a Pennsylvania bull elk license could, after five years, enter that drawing again.
In 2020, the state started offering elk hunting licenses after a 69-year hiatus to grow the size of the herd. Now 25 years later, there are more than 1,400 elk in northcentral Pennsylvania.
The PGC reports 52,146 hunters purchased 104,992 applications for 140 licenses to hunt in one of three seasons this year.
The last season of the year, the late firearms season, opens Dec. 27 and continues until Jan. 3.
