An Ohio Gas Station Just Sold 2 Jackpot-Winning Lottery Tickets From 'Man-Picked' Numbers – MotorBiscuit

Hambden Corners sits just east of downtown Chardon, Ohio. The tiny town has just over 5,000 residents and boasts a tight community feel, although it’s a stone’s throw from Cleveland. The gas station there just boosted at least one, maybe two, customers into a higher tax bracket.
On Friday, November 7, the state’s Rolling Cash 5 jackpot had reached $182,000. It’s a daily drawing wherein players choose five numbers (manually selected or computer generated).
The pot starts at $100,000 and grows every time the results leave out any “5 for 5” winners. According to the Ohio Lottery rules, tickets are a buck apiece.
The thing is, that wasn’t the only man-picked winning ticket. Another ticket with the same numbers exists.
It’s not known whether the same individual landed both tickets or if the winners aren’t related at all.
So, it’s possible one person gets all of that $182,000 jackpot. If there’s actually two gas station customers holding the winning lottery numbers, the pot gets split. The winners have 180 days to claim their prize.
$182k sure sounds life changing, but last week, a Chicago-area player won $500,000 after buying a Lucky Day Lotto ticket. Those are also $1. 
A couple of weeks ago, someone in Illinois also won the $1 million Powerball lottery. They had all the right numbers, but missed the Powerball trigger.

'Our daughter's sweets demand got us lottery win' – BBC

Abbey and Valdet Bujupi are planning a family trip to New York with their winnings
A couple has their three-year-old daughter's sweet tooth to thank for winning £524,000 in the EuroMillions.
Valdet Bujupi, 44, from Barrow, Cumbria, said he would have never bought a lucky dip ticket if his daughter had not been so persistent in her demand for sweets on a journey home.
The father-of-two said he had caved in and headed to a shop after the third time she asked, "please daddy, can I have some sweets?".
"We're all over the moon and our daughter, who was already daddy's princess, has now been promoted to the Queen," he said.
Mr Bujupi played a lucky dip ticket in the 5 September draw and matched five main numbers and a lucky star – 27, 30, 31, 41, 43 and 05 and 08.
The couple said their son had thought they were joking when he heard the news
Abbey Bujupi, 40, said she had been cleaning when she got a call from her husband.
She said: "I was cleaning the bathroom and was not impressed at having to take off my rubber gloves to answer the phone.
"Valdet's first words were 'book New York, I've won the lottery'."
The couple had been saving for their dream trip to New York since last Christmas, but Mrs Bujupi said it had been difficult due to something always coming up to "scupper our plans".
She said: "Now the thing that has come up is our bank balance. We can finally make New York, and so many other plans a reality."
When sharing the news with their 12-year-old son, Mr Bujupi said it had been "one of the craziest moments" trying to convince him that they had won.
"He thought it was a joke and it was only once I showed him the win on the lottery app that he was willing to believe us," he said.
As well as New York, Mr Bujupi said he was planning a big present for his mother in Kosovo to "make her life a little bit easier".
"Being able to help my mum comfortably enjoy her older years means so much to us both," he added.
The couple is also pondering a house move as well as helping their children with their future.
Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at The National Lottery, said: "They've clearly got some amazing and memorable moments ahead and I hope they especially love taking a big bite of the Big Apple."

Federal charges against athletes rock sports leagues – WBFF

by MATT GALKA | The National News Desk
Recent federal charges against professional athletes in various leagues have called into question the relationship between sports betting, the players, and the leagues themselves. Two Cleveland Guardians pitchers, Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase, face indictments for allegedly accepting bribes to rig pitches in Major League Baseball games. Ortiz's lawyer maintains his client's innocence.

The indictment puts a spotlight on prop bets that allow sports bettors to wager on things that are beyond the actual outcome of the game. (TNND)


The indictment puts a spotlight on prop bets that allow sports bettors to wager on things that are beyond the actual outcome of the game. In the case against Ortiz and Clase, the indictment alleges bettors placed suspicious wagers on whether or not certain pitches thrown would be balls or strikes, along with what the velocity of certain pitches was going to be.
"Through this scheme, the defendants defrauded betting platforms, deprived Major League Baseball and the Cleveland Guardians of their honest services, illegally enriched themselves and their co-conspirators, misled the public, and betrayed America's pastime," U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella, Jr. wrote in the unsealed indictment.
Meanwhile, NBA player Terry Rozier was arrested for allegedly accepting a bribe after telling sports bettors he'd leave a game early due to injury in 2023. The scandals extend beyond mainstream sports, with table tennis leagues also facing match-fixing allegations. The sport is among the most popular to bet on for online sportsbooks.
Stephen Shapiro, a sport and entertainment management professor at the University of South Carolina, said he's not surprised about the scandals and won't be surprised if we see more in the future now that gambling on sports has become so easy. Bettors can simply take out their phones to place a wager on almost anything they want in a game.
"I think what you're seeing now is with the proliferation of sports gambling and the ease with which to do it, where you can just get on your phone and do it, there's just more opportunity," Shapiro said. He warned that continued scandals could undermine the integrity of sports leagues.
“When that outcome comes into question, I think it can really hit the foundation of sport and have a real impact. That's where I think leagues have to get out in front of this," he said.
Some members of Congress renewed a push to consider the SAFE Bet Act, which aims to tighten regulations on online gambling. The proposed legislation would do things like ban ads during games, outlaw prop bets at amateur and college levels, and limit how artificial intelligence targets players and forms bets.
"Standards at the federal level not to prevent gambling, but to combat the twin dangers of corruption and addiction," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., one of the sponsors of the bill.
The legislation is a long shot in Congress right now, as there's been pushback from gambling companies and leagues on how far it would take regulations. Still, professional leagues are facing growing scrutiny with every scandal and arrest that's made.
Sacred Heart University Chair of Sport Management Joshua Shuart says it's not entirely clear why professional athletes, some of whom make millions and millions of dollars, would take gambling risks for lesser money and ruin their reputations, along with facing a potential ban from their leagues. But the more allegations that come out, the more likely it is that there will need to be some form of intervention to standardize gambling rules around the country.
"We're now looking at the car in the ditch on fire, and we're saying, 'What can we do to proactively to make sure this doesn't happen again?" he said.
"I think the entire the integrity of sports in general is under attack, and you're not even talking about professional, you're talking about everything, at all levels. You can understand why low-earning or no-earning college athletes might fall for that. You're impressionable, you don't have a lot coming in, but you have it across the board now. So, it's like epidemic level, and now it's like, what can we do about this?"
