This will be an important 2026 Draft Lottery for several WNBA teams. According to Tankathon, the Dallas Wings, Minnesota Lynx, Seattle Storm, Washington Mystics, and the Chicago Sky have the best odds, but there is an important wrinkle that pertains specifically to the Sky.
Chicago traded their 2026 first-round pick to the Minnesota Lynx for the 11th overall pick the day before the 2025 WNBA Draft, which ended up being Hailey Van Lith out of TCU — a former teammate of Angel Reese's at LSU. The Lynx already had the right to swap their pick with the Sky, but now they get the full rights to it. In summary, the Sky do not have their 2026 first-round pick.
However, Chicago will still have a lottery pick in the draft. According to ESPN, the Connecticut Sun traded their 2025 first-round pick to Chicago, which turned out to be Ajsa Sivka, who has stayed overseas and has not played in the WNBA yet. Along with the pick, the Sky received Rachel Banham, Moriah Jefferson, and a 2026 first-round Sun pick swap.
The pick swap is very important, as an earlier blockbuster trade centered around Kahleah Copper, sent the Mercury’s 2026 first-round pick, among other assets, to Chicago, according to ESPN’s Alexa Philippou.
Those other assets included Brianna Turner, Michaela Onyenwere, the 2024 3rd overall pick, which ended up being South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso, the Mercury’s 2025 second-round pick, which was moved, and the right to swap 2026 second-round picks with Phoenix.
Having the Mercury’s first round pick at No. 12 means that the Sky can swap with the Sun’s pick, which gets us to now.
According to Tankathon, Chicago will have a 7% chance of getting the first pick, a 9.3% chance of getting the second pick, and an 83.7% chance of getting the fifth pick. All three options would be premium picks, but the Sky would love to get lucky and land in the top two.
If you do the math on the probability of each team getting each slot, there is a 9.75% chance that the pick that they are getting from the Sun ends up being better than their original pick.
Overall, in what is supposed to be a very strong 2026 WNBA draft class, the lottery will be crucial in the way Chicago builds their team. You are more likely to draft a franchise-altering player in the top two than at five, but regardless, it should be in position to acquire a quality piece.

The family who won the staggering €250 million (around £216 million) Euromillions jackpot from Cork have revealed that they don’t plan to change certain aspects of their lives. The ticket was bought as part of a family syndicate, officials have confirmed, and the family is believed to be from the north of the Irish city. Rumours quickly swirled as to who won the massive sum, and the family eventually decided to stay anonymous, but they did reveal how they were approaching their new life with this money. 
“It will still be Ham and Cheese sambos [Irish term for a sandwich] for lunch,” one family joked as they explained how they plan to stay down to earth following the monumental win. The sum marks Ireland’s biggest ever Euromillions win. Despite the massive win, the family says that they plan to stay in Ireland. Among their ideas for the money is property abroad and foreign holidays. Another family member joked: “I’ll still be having my favourite ham and cheese sambo for lunch every day!” The ticket was purchased last month in a shop in the centre of Cork City.

One of the family members had an appointment in Cork and stopped into Clifford’s Centra on Shandon Street to do some shopping.” I saw the sign at the till that the EuroMillions jackpot was €250 million,” they revealed.
“Although I’m a regular player, I hadn’t bought a ticket for the last two draws. I picked one up and honestly, didn’t think much of it.”
They continued: “I was watching the Nine O’Clock News and saw that someone in Ireland had the winning EuroMillions ticket. So naturally, I got my ticket and scanned it on the National Lottery app, and a message popped up, ‘You’ve won big, contact the National Lottery.’
“Obviously, this wasn’t a message that I was used to seeing, so I must have checked it 4 more times, I just couldn’t believe my eyes!”
They added: “I ran upstairs to my wife, who had just gone to bed, and woke her up. We both checked the numbers multiple times on the website. We sat at the edge of the bed, saying ‘Oh my god ’ over and over – I reckon we said it about fifty times. We were in total shock, complete disbelief.“As you can imagine, sleep was out of the question that night”. They called the National Lottery in Ireland the next morning asn were put through to the Claims Team. After a few minutes on hold, they were finally told that they had indeed won the sum. 
A family member said: “Those few minutes felt like the longest of my life. When Ronan from the Claims Team confirmed we were the outright winner, needless to say, we were in total shock all over again.”
They kept the ticket carefully hidden under folded laundry until it was time to bring it into the National Lottery. Then, they immediately sought legal and financial advice. 
They revealed: “We’re absolutely going on a family holiday. We love to travel and there’s so many amazing trips we’ve always dreamed of that we can now make a reality. We’re already looking at holiday homes somewhere in the sun. We also feel incredibly fortunate now to be in a position where we can buy homes for our children, too.”

The biggest lottery prize the UK has ever seen is set to be won this week, meaning one or potentially several lucky ticket holders will see their lives changed overnight.
The jackpot for the draw on Tuesday will be £208 million and would be the largest prize awarded in the UK if won by a single ticket-holder, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.
The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it reaches 250 million euros – or £208 million.
Under the current rules, once the total amount has reached its cap and if there is no winner, it stays at this value for a further four draws until it must be won in the fifth draw.
This means that if there is no winner tonight, Friday 20 June will see a Must Be Won draw, where the money is guaranteed to be handed out.
In the Must Be Won draw, if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the entire jackpot prize will roll down into the prize tier where there is at least one winner – likely to be five main numbers and one Lucky Star.
The prize money could then be split between multiple winners, with several ticket holders walking away with multi-million pound jackpots.
However, if one lucky winner was to secure the entire fortune, they would instantly become richer than the likes of pop star Dua Lipa and England football captain Harry Kane.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn – operator of The National Lottery, said: “Everyone dreams of that huge win when they buy their National Lottery ticket. What a win like this can do for you, your nearest and dearest and the wider community really is incredible.
“From private islands and private jets to really making a monumental difference to causes close to your heart, a £208 million EuroMillions jackpot win would mean pretty much anything is within reach.
“All you have to do to be in with a chance of actually living the dream is to simply buy a EuroMillions ticket. Good luck to all UK EuroMillions players in this Tuesday’s draw.”

That’s a level of self-awareness you rarely see from Apple these days.&nbsp;<br>Well, it looks like the iPod Sock now has a – much, <em>much</em> more expensive – spiritual successor in the form of the iPhone Pocket.&nbsp;<br>Designed in collaboration with Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE, this limited-edition kitted sling is designed to carry not only your iPhone but also AirPods and other small accessories.&nbsp;<br>Much like its inspiration, the new iPhone Pocket is a stretchy pocket, albeit an elongated one, made from a ribbed, elastic textile. The fashion house’s design director, Yoshiyuki Miyamae, says it’s inspired by the concept of a “piece of cloth,” but we all know what it’s <em>really</em> based on.&nbsp;<br>There are two versions of the Pocket available – one with a short strap and another with a long strap – that allow you to wear the accessory in a number of different ways, whether handheld, tied onto bags or, with the longer strap, worn across the body like a strap.&nbsp;<br>In true Apple fashion, the Pocket is available in a variety of colours to match and complement the colours of its recent iPhone collection, though the shades depend on the length of the strap you choose.&nbsp;<br>The shorter strap is available in lemon, mandarin, purple, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon, and black, while the longer alternative comes in sapphire, cinnamon, and black.&nbsp;<br>The bigger shock for me is just <em>how much</em> these accessories cost. While the OG iPod Sock would only set you back $29, the iPhone Pocket retails at $149.95 and $229.95 for the short and long variants, respectively.&nbsp;<br>I must say, I did <em>not</em> have this on my 2025 bingo card. In a world where phones can cost over £1000/$1000 – including Apple’s iPhone – most are instead focused on keeping them safe and secure. But not Apple.&nbsp;<br>The iPhone is increasingly becoming more of a fashion accessory, highlighted not only by the new Pocket but also by the crossbody strap released alongside the iPhone 17 – but the world is what the world is, and there are plenty of unscrupulous individuals who’d take advantage of an iPhone in easy grasp.<br>I think I’ll be keeping my phone in my pocket, safe and secure.
