Powerball prize leaps to estimated $1.2 billion after no winner in latest jackpot drawing

The Powerball jackpot just keeps getting bigger. There was no winner that matched all six numbers after Monday's drawing, and now the estimated jackpot for Wednesday is $1.2 billion, with a cash value of $596.7 million, Powerball said. The winning numbers in Monday night's estimated $1 billion jackpot were 19, 13, 39, 59 and 36, and the Powerball was 13. The powerplay number was 3. While there was no jackpot winner -- though more than 5.4 million tickets totaling $59.5 million in cash prizes won on Halloween -- Powerball said in a press release, including 10 tickets that matched all five white balls for a $1 million prize. Wednesday's jackpot marks the third time in the game's 30-year history that the main prize has hit the $1 billion milestone. If there's a winner Wednesday night, th...
Brittney Griner’s wife talks about denied appeal

Brittney Griner’s wife talks about denied appeal

Cherelle Griner, the wife of Brittney Griner, spoke out on "The View" following a Russian court denying the WNBA star's appeal on drug charges. Griner told the co-hosts that the denied appeal was "just disheartening" and left her in "complete disbelief." "I understand being in the field of law that every state, every country has their own rules, but this is just absurd," she said. "The crime and the punishment is disproportionate at its finest ... There are people convicted of murder in Russia who [have] a sentence way less than B.G., and it just makes absolutely no sense to me." "That was the complete end of it. There's nothing more to expect from a legal standpoint and all eggs are in basket, you know, for our government and for America to see how important this issue is," she continu...
Ships sail after Russia exits grain deal, but future in flux

Ships sail after Russia exits grain deal, but future in flux

LONDON -- Ships loaded with grain departed Ukraine on Tuesday despite Russia suspending its participation in a U.N.-brokered deal that ensures safe wartime passage of critical food supplies meant for parts of the world struggling with hunger. But the United Nations said vessels would not move Wednesday, raising concerns about future shipments. Three ships carrying 84,490 metric tons of corn, wheat and sunflower meal left Ukraine through a humanitarian sea corridor set up in July, while 36 other vessels cleared inspections near Turkey to head to their final destinations, the U.N. said. The corridor, brokered by Turkey and U.N., was seen as a breakthrough to ensure Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia would receive grain and other food from the Black Sea region during Russia's war in U...
Who is Lula? Winner of Brazil’s presidential election

Who is Lula? Winner of Brazil’s presidential election

On Sunday, Brazil’s voters chose a new president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known by the name Lula. Lula narrowly beat out Jair Bolsonaro, the incumbent far-right president who has become infamous during four years in office for accelerating the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, as well as for his administration’s handling of the pandemic. Brazil suffered the world’s second-highest death toll from COVID-19, behind the U.S. Although Bolsnaro did not officially concede the election during public remarks Tuesday, and has in the past spread myths questioning the integrity of elections in the country, Lula is expected to be sworn in on January 1st. So who is Brazil’s new president? Lula is a former labor organizer and founding member of the country’s Workers’ Party. He served two term...
Brazil’s Bolsonaro declines to concede, but OKs transition

Brazil’s Bolsonaro declines to concede, but OKs transition

BRASILIA, Brazil -- Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday stopped short of conceding the election to leftist rival Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, instead using his first public comments since his defeat two days ago to thank his supporters and encourage their protests, as long as they remain peaceful. Moments after the remarks, which lasted less than two minutes, the outgoing president's chief of staff, Ciro Nogueira, announced that Bolsonaro had authorized him to begin the process of handing over power. The conservative leader, who before the election had repeatedly questioned the reliability of the country’s electoral system, had little room for potentially rejecting the results. U.S. President Joe Biden and other international leaders have publicly recognized da Silva’s victory, a...
Colombia’s President promises to deepen ties with Venezuela

Colombia’s President promises to deepen ties with Venezuela

BOGOTA, Colombia -- The presidents of Colombia and Venezuela met on Tuesday and said they would improve trade and security cooperation, as both countries seek to normalize relations following the election of Colombia’s first leftist leader. After the meeting in Venezuela’s presidential palace, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said it was “suicidal” for the governments of Venezuela and Colombia to have become estranged from each other recently, adding that the border between the countries had been forgotten and “turned over” to criminal mafias. Colombia’s president said both countries would now look for ways to share intelligence on drug trafficking groups, and added that he would lobby for Venezuela’s re-entry into the Andean Community of Nations, a regional trade and investment group t...
