New Youngstown resident wins $300K lottery prize
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – A woman from Youngstown is richer after winning the jackpot in an Ohio Lottery scratch-off game. The woman won the top prize of $300,000 on the game Special Edition Cashword. The ticket was sold in January. The winner is originally from New Jersey but moved to Youngstown with her fiancé for his job in late 2024, according to the Ohio Lottery Commission. The woman told lottery officials that her fiancé bought her five $5 scratch-offs at a gas station, and she won $15. She left to visit family in New Jersey and when she got back, she ended up spending her winnings on three more tickets at Certified Oil on North Canfield Niles Road in Austintown. 'Something told me to get three Cashwords,' she told the commission. One of the tickets was the $300,000 winner, but she thought she had only won $5,000 because she couldn't find the 10th word in the game, so she scanned the ticket and the app showed the message, 'Congratulations! You won $300,000!' The woman said she plans to use the winnings to go on vacation and treat her fiancé. After mandatory state and federal taxes totaling 28%, she will receive $216,000. Special Edition Cashword is a $5 ticket with a top prize of $300,000. As of July 15, there are three top prizes remaining in the game. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Like Papa Noel, Grand Isle guy delivers by the bag full
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — He's on his way like Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. But without reindeer and with no need for a sleigh. This guy's got his 2018 pickup truck. WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood says this guy's got his own bags filled with goodies. His name is Nathan Herring, and he's got oysters in the bag. He delivers them to restaurants and bars around New Orleans. The oysters he delivers are his that he grows in floating cages in the Gulf, down on the farm. His oyster farm is a couple of hours from New Orleans in Grand Isle. Herring grew up in Mississippi and has a college degree in Wildlife and Fishery Science. 'The whole reason I got started with this was learning about all the good environmental benefits the oysters provide, so habitat, erosion protection in the water,' said Herring. He worked for a couple of years in the parks department in New York City. That's before he decided to parallel park his truck, and his life, in Louisiana. He calls his business Bright Side Oyster Company. 'We are putting oysters in places where they might not otherwise grow. In these places like Grand Isle, where we are seeing so many people leave and not come back. Something interesting in a place a lot of people don't get to see,' by day with Super BUCK Moon by night for Thursday Judge Seeber bridge to fully close for repairs: DOTD Walmart recalls about 850,000 water bottles after 2 people blinded Three fall into water at Glacier National Park while taking photo: rangers Iconic cereal maker WK Kellogg selling to Ferrero for $3B Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
