National News

Bad News, you didn't win the $900 million dollar Powerball jackpot on Saturday night.  Good news, NO ONE DID!  At the time I am writing this blog, they estimate the jackpot for this Wednesday to be 1.4 billion dollars, the largest EVER, but the number could grow even larger.  Are you in?

Here we go again! No one matched the Powerball numbers last Wednesday so this Saturday we are looking to match the five white balls and one red Powerball to win $700 million dollars. Are you in?

You're odds are 1 in 292 million, but totally worth taking the chance!  The Powerball grand prize is at $450 million for tonight's drawing.  Are you in?

When national tragedies strike, they are difficult to take for everyone.  This is especially true when they hit closer to home, as the recent Marine shootings in Tennessee did.

It's been quite a week for the residents of Baltimore and while those who have taken things too far tend to make the news, the majority of residents are not supporting the illegal activities that escalated from the protests.  One person not having any of it is the mother of one of the protesters.

It's hard to know what's true and who you can trust now days.  The best thing you can do is keep abreast of the scams that are current in the area and keep your guard up!  This scam could affect anyone that uses Credit Cards. Here's the latest:

Reba McEntire is releasing her first album in five years on April 14, and she is eager for fans to hear her new music. As the album release date approaches, the talented songstress is revealing more and more about Love Somebody.

I'm sure people who don't read this blog will wonder if the city of Duluth neglected to pay their light bill when the Aerial Lift Bridge's lights go dark on Saturday.  Truth of the matter is there's a very good reason for it and the community will be joining millions around the world!

The words egg roll caught my eye, because I make them.  But, it had nothing to do with food, instead, it was the National Easter Egg Hunt at the White House. Have you ever thought how one gets invited to that festivity?  It's a lottery system to get free tickets (and of course, you'll have to get you and your family there).  If you're interested, here's how!

We're lucky living in the Northland, we can play both the Minnesota and the Wisconsin lottery.  I don't usually play the lottery, but I did last Saturday in Minnesota.  Didn't really have a clue but was told to ask for a quick pick.  May have to do the same today with Wisconsin's since it's the third highest jackpot in the game's history!

If you watched the Super Bowl you may have caught the McDonald's commercials introducing their new initiative to spread the love.  They want to fill the world with more lovin' and less hatin' and a simple act of compassion or friendliness could mean a free meal to you.

The first time this commercial came on TV, it stopped me in my tracks.  I actually stopped crocheting and was riveted to the images on the screen.  Apparently so did the rest of America because now there is controversy surrounding the ad.  Watch it here and let us know what you think.
