Mega Millions jackpot increases to $1.58 billion ahead of Tuesday’s drawing
SUMMARY: The Mega Millions jackpot is currently estimated to be worth $1.58 billion, making it one of the largest in U.S. history. The last jackpot winner was in April, and this is the second time in less than a month that a lottery prize has reached the billion-dollar mark. The largest lottery jackpot prize ever was $2.04 billion, won in California. The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are one in 302.6 million. If someone were to win the $1.58 billion prize, they could choose to receive it as an annuity over 30 years or as a lump sum of an estimated $783.3 million, both of which would be subject to taxes. Mega Millions is played in 45 states and the District of Columbia.

SUMMARY: On Sunday, storm chasers tracked a supercell storm from western to central Oklahoma after initially experiencing a few uneventful days traveling through west Texas and New Mexico. High-based storms developed in the Texas Panhandle around 3 PM, moving into western Oklahoma by late afternoon. A notable supercell formed between Cheyenne and Woodward, showcasing clear mid-level rotation and an impressive updraft. Throughout the chase, the storm cycled multiple times, producing various wall clouds and funnels. Near Hydro, Oklahoma, a funnel descended low from a rotating wall cloud, though no tornado was directly observed due to possible rain-wrapping.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State's spring semester has ended, with seniors graduating and many students moving home for the summer. This seasonal migration causes a dip in local businesses' foot traffic. Brikley Spencer from Maroon and Co. noted that they offer promotions to attract customers. Bart Wood of Little Dooey mentioned that while there's a slowdown, recent developments like Cornerstone Park tournaments and MSU camps keep Starkville active. Both businesses largely employ college students, but the summer schedule balances staffing needs. Despite past challenges, Wood says conditions have improved, and they adapt annually, considering even shortening hours during slower periods.
