Despite unlucky 'mistake' by lottery, two players still win $100K Mass Cash prizes
The 'Mass Cash' drawing, scheduled for 9 p.m. on Thursday, was postponed after several numbered balls fell out of the game machine, according to Massachusetts State Lottery officials.
A door had been left open on the 'Mass Cash' machine's mixing chamber, and the balls fell out prior to the first number being drawn. This made the entire 9 p.m. drawing invalid, lottery officials said.
The 'Mass Cash' drawing instead happened at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.
The winning numbers for the June 5 drawing were 6, 15, 22, 28 and 30.
Two winning tickets matched all five numbers drawn to win $100,000. They were sold at a Gulf gas station in Framingham and at a shop called One Stop Mart in West Springfield.
'Mass Cash' drawings usually happen at 9 p.m. every day, and tickets to play cost $1 each. Five numbers are drawn and if all five are matched on a ticket, the player wins $100,000. Four matched numbers are worth a $250 prize, and three matched numbers are worth a $10 prize.
'The Lottery is committed to ensuring the integrity of our games,' said Mark William Bracken, Executive Director of the Mass Lottery.
' ... while we strive for perfection, we're all human and mistakes can happen. We apologize to our players for the inconvenience and appreciated their patience as we worked diligently to resolve the situation,' Bracken said.

Why Medtronic (MDT) is a Top Value Stock for the Long-Term
Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike. While you may have an investing style you rely on, finding great stocks is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores. These are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on value, growth, and/or momentum characteristics. Why Investors Should Pay Attention to This Value Stock Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks. Medtronic (MDT) In 2015, Medtronic, Inc. (the legacy NYSE-listed parent company, incorporated in Minnesota) acquired Ireland-based Covidien plc for cash and stock of $49.9 billion. The acquisition resulted in the formation of a new holding company incorporated in Ireland called Medtronic plc (the new Irish tax resident, NYSE-listed parent company holding both the legacy Medtronic and Covidien). MDT sits at a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), holds a Value Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of B.

Passengers are suing Delta and United, saying they paid for window seats that didn't actually have windows
Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are being sued by passengers who said they paid extra for a window seat, only to find a view of a wall. The pair of proposed class-action lawsuits filed Tuesday allege that each airline "has likely sold over a million windowless 'window' seats." Delta customers could spend over $70 to choose a seat, with $40 of that spent on upgrading to a higher ticket tier, the suit said. The complaint against United said the cost often exceeds $50 on domestic flights, and $100 on international ones. "For many, it is a special experience to see the world from 30,000 feet," both suits say. "Windows can captivate or distract an antsy child. For many with a fear of flying or motion sickness, windows provide a greater level of comfort in an otherwise stressful environment," they add. The suits say that Boeing 737 and Airbus A321 jets, and Delta's Boeing 757s, have blank walls instead of windows at some seats due to the placement of air conditioning ducts, electrical conduits, or other components. On a Boeing 737-800, this is at either seat 10A, 11A, or 12A, depending on the configuration, per the complaint. They add that competitors American Airlines and Alaska Airlines include warnings while booking that such seats don't have a window view — but United and Delta don't. Ryanair, the Irish budget airline and Europe's largest by passengers carried, also alerts customers and charges less for them, the suits say. Aviva Copaken, a plaintiff in the United suit, said she took three flights in May out of Los Angeles. She paid between $45.99 and $169.99 to choose a window seat on these flights, but none of them had a window, per the complaint. It adds that United has refunded her for two of them. Another plaintiff, Marc Brenman, said he used points to choose a window seat on a flight from San Francisco to Washington, DC, in April, but also found it didn't actually have a view. The airline refunded him 7,500 miles, but the suit says this was "insufficient to compensate him for the extra fees and benefits he utilized." The plaintiff in the suit against Delta, Nicholas Meyer, said he flew from New York to California earlier this month. On his connecting flight out of Atlanta, he sat in seat 23F on a Boeing 757-200, which turned out to be windowless, the suit alleges.
