The major lotteries in the United States offer two jackpot payout options: annuity and cash.
The annuity option is paid out over time. There is an immediate payment and then 29 annual payments after that, increasing by 5% each year.
The cash option is significantly lower than the advertised jackpot, but it is paid in a lump sum. You don’t have to wait decades for all the money.
In some states, like New Jersey, you can win a lottery anonymously. That wasn’t always the case, but now winners are able to stay anonymous under a law that was signed by Gov. Phil Murphy.

Jackpot-winning lottery ticket worth $870,000 sold in Allegheny County – CBS News

Watch CBS News
/ CBS Pittsburgh
Someone who bought a lottery ticket in Allegheny County won a jackpot worth $870,000. 
The Pennsylvania Lottery said a Cash 5 with Quick Cash ticket matched all five balls drawn on Sunday: 1-20-25-38-40. Whoever bought that ticket at the Uni-Mart on Fern Hollow Road in Moon Township won the $870,000 jackpot. The lottery says the store that sold the ticket will get a $5,000 bonus.
More than 13,000 other Cash 5 with Quick Cash tickets also won prizes. The lottery says players should check every ticket every time. 
To play Cash 5 with Quick Cash, players pick five numbers from 1 to 43. To win the jackpot, a player has to match all five numbers. 
It’s the latest lottery ticket to win big in the Pittsburgh area. 
Earlier this month, a jackpot-winning Match 6 Lotto ticket worth $1.2 million was sold at the Citgo in South Huntingdon Township. In October, a scratch-off worth $3 million was sold at the Shop ‘n Save in Richland Township, and before that, a Match 6 Lotto ticket worth $950,000 was sold at the Super Mart convenience store on Pine Hollow Road in Kennedy Township.
The Pennsylvania Lottery says it’s the only state lottery to direct all proceeds to programs that benefit older residents. Since sales began in 1972, the lottery says it has contributed more than $37 billion to fund programs like property tax and rent rebates, care services and prescription assistance.

This photo shows only a small number of the 175 people who took part in the annual Boobie Bingo, conducted by Watseka Elks Lodge #1791 Saturday, Nov. 8. The funds distributed to cancer fighters help offset expenses incurred due to treatment.
Cheryle Laurent (left) and Kat Thiele are shown during Watseka Elks Lodge #1791’s annual bingo event. All funds raised remain in Iroquois County and help families with the expenses of cancer treatment. The success of this event lies largely with the many businesses and individuals who donate.
In the back of the photo, under the clock, is Scott Kingdon, who did most of the calling during Watseka Elks Lodge #1791’s annual Boobie Bingo, also known as Bingo for Cancer Fighters. This was the 15th year for the event and $11,715 was raised for cancer fighters in Iroquois County.

Watseka Elks Lodge #1791 hosted its 15th annual Boobie Bingo last Saturday night, Nov. 8, at the lodge. Those who wish to participate in playing bingo must pre-purchase tickets, which are sold a couple weeks in advance. Scott Kingdon, of the lodge, was the caller for this event.
Originally, the event was conducted in order to help Iroquois County residents fighting breast cancer; however, because so many are affected by different types of cancer, the event was expanded to cover all cancers and is also known as Bingo for Cancer Fighters. All monies raised remain in Iroquois County and can be used however they best help the family, such as with groceries, utility bills, gas for trips to doctors and treatments, etc.
Organizers of the event try to raise the most money without a lot of expense to the lodge. According to Cheryle Laurent, an Elks organizer of the event, “We decided to go to area businesses to ask for donations. These donated items we can use to put together for bingo prizes. Those bingo prizes vary in value of between $150 and $200 each.”
There are several on the list who donate each year, and, according to Laurent, “Donate they do! We have so many gifts donated that we have started passing out door prizes.” She said that number is usually 20-30. In addition to the door prizes, “we have seven to eight baskets to raffle off,” Laurent continued, adding Elks also “sell t-shirts and huggies.”
Over the past 14 years, $95,077 has been raised and that provided help to 132 families. This year, 175 bingo players attended and $11,715was raised, bringing the grand total raised over 15 years to $106,792.
Laurent said there is a large group of volunteers who help make this event such a huge success. That list, in additon to Laurent, includes Amy Reetz, Cindy Coughenour, Cody Fredricks, Cy West, Dawn Tobeck, Deb Cookie Swigart, Erik Shay, Jill Tarro, Kat Thiele, Kim Gocker, Leslie Myers White, Linda Hasbargen, Lori Yates, Marilyn Conger, Mark Lehman, Jake Tarro, Marsha Knauth, Pam Thurston, Robert Gray, Scott Kingdon, Scott Zumwalt, Stephanie Wingerter, Teresa Castonguay, Todd Oster, Traci Bishop and Mike DeMarse.
Laurent said “We (Elks Lodge members) look forward to helping more people and having more bingos. Are we going to change the world? No, but maybe we can help it be a little nicer. We do what we can!”
Although the event is done for this year, donations are accepted throughout the year. Checks can be made payable to Watseka Elks Lodge 1791 and can be mailed or dropped at 111 N. Third, Watseka, IL 60970.

Shiva Co-op Battle Appears in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis – Siliconera

There’s a new way to fight Shiva in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, as her Co-op Battle is now available. People can challenge her in this way for one week.
Square Enix and Applibot offered more insight on what to expect from this fight. Up to three people can join in to face Shiva in-game. Doing so nets someone Co-op Medals, which can be swapped for Weapon Parts. Summon Memories and weapons can also be earned. Some Co-op Battle Missions will also appear. Getting through them will net people 20 Stamina Tonics and 1,500 Blue Crystals.
While this marks Shiva’s debut as a Co-op Battle, she’s already been in the game for a while. So have her Summon Weapons, so people have another option for getting and upgrading them. These are the Shiva’s Blade for Cloud and Shiva Cannon for Barret. Both deal MAG ice damage to enemies and offer +50% fire resistance to the characters when equipped. Other traditional summons, like Ifrit, also appear.
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available for mobile devices, with the Shiva Co-op Battle appearing until November 2, 2023. The game will eventually come to PCs as well, though Square Enix and Applibot haven’t set a release window for that version yet.

Mega Millions jackpot reaches $900 million, extending record streak with no winner – MassLive.com

The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to a whopping $900 million ahead of Tuesday’s draw.
The total marks the eighth-largest jackpot since Mega Millions was first drawn in 2002 and the third time it has eclipsed $900 million since the record of $1.602 billion was set in Florida on Aug. 8, 2023.
Tuesday’s drawing will be the 39th drawing since a winner in Virginia last took home the jackpot on June 27, extending the streak for the longest stretch without a winner since it took 37 drawings for a lottery player in Michigan to win a $1.05 billion jackpot on Jan. 22, 2021.
The $900 million jackpot will be drawn on Nov. 11 at 11 p.m. Players in Massachusetts can buy a ticket at Massachusetts State Lottery retailers across the state until 10:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
Tickets are $5 each, and participants must pick five numbers between one and 70 and another Mega Ball number between one and 24.
