Monday's lottery jackpot hits came from a Publix and a Miami-Dade gas station
Monday's two Florida Lottery draw game jackpot winners, on a day of Fantasy 5, Cash4Life and Powerball drawings, didn't have to share their pots.
Wednesday's Powerball top prize will be $101 million after nobody won it Monday.
The evening Fantasy 5 drawing pulled 2, 5, 16, 18 and 33, numbers that matched a Quick Pick ticket bought at a West Miami-Dade Shell, 7895 W. Flagler St. That's the Shell just off the Palmetto Expressway and next to Midway Crossings, formerly The Mall of the Americas. That's a $104,832 hunk of good financial fortune.
The midday Fantasy 5 draw winner didn't have to even pay for the winning ticket, worth $50,283. A Quick Pick free ticket from the Brandon Publix at 939 W. Brandon Blvd. had the numbers 4, 6, 12, 15 and 19.
These tickets must be redeemed at the Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee or one of the district offices. Appointments can be made, but aren't required.
The Miami district office is in Miami Lakes, 14621 Oak Ln. and can be called at 305-364-3080 or emailed at MIARC@flalottery.com. The Tampa office is at Centerpoint Business Park, 1911 U.S. 301 North, Suite 170, and can be reached at 813-744-6134 or TAMRC@flalottery.com.

EVs suffer surprising rejection in a crucial market
Despite over a decade of government subsidies, electric vehicles still haven't taken off in the U.S. Undoubtedly, the segment has grown, due mainly to the popularity of Tesla (TSLA) , but the big automakers are still losing a lot of money on their electric vehicles. Ford, for example, has sold 6.1% more vehicles year to date than it did a year ago. However, the company did this despite selling 25% fewer EVs month to month, accelerating a declining sales trend for a segment of the company's brand that had been experiencing growth. Related: Jaguar Land Rover has big, growing problem on its hands Ford announced last year that its EV division would lose about $5 billion in 2024. The $1.5 billion the unit lost in the third quarter alone was actually an 8% improvement year over year. Meanwhile, back in 2023, General Motors said that despite losing money on EVs, it expected its EV segment to be profitable by this year. So far this year, GM's EV segment has been performing well, with sales more than doubling through the first five months of the year. The company sold 62,830 EVs through May, with Chevrolet driving 37,620 of those sales. This year, Chevy's performance alone has outstripped rival Ford, which has sold 34,132 vehicles across its all-electric lineup. However, the U.S. is only one of three major EV markets in the world. Europe and China have a much larger appetite for electric vehicles, but new data suggests one of those markets is also starting to slow down. Image source: Pool/Getty Images Americans bought 1.5 million EVs in 2023, while the Chinese bought 8.2 million. According to the International Energy Agency, European consumers purchased 3.2 million during the same period. However, a new study by the oil company Shell suggests that consumer sentiment is trending in the wrong direction in Europe. The 2025 Shell Recharge Driver Survey features responses from over 15,000 European drivers. The appetite to buy an EV among internal combustion engine (ICE) car drivers dropped to 41% from 48% last year. Related: Toyota makes surprising move to beat Tesla in key market While the sentiment also fell in the U.S., the 34% to 31% decline was less dramatic. The biggest issue for European drivers is the cost of the vehicles, as 43% of drivers cited affordability as their top issue. Despite falling battery costs, European EV prices have stagnated in recent quarters. A strong plurality on both sides of the pond believes ICE vehicles should be phased out completely. About 46% of ICE vehicle drivers in the U.S. agree with government policies encouraging the phasing out of ICE vehicles, while 44% of European ICE drivers feel that way. "This research reinforces what we hear from our customers: there's a growing disparity in the transition to electric vehicles," said Shell VP of Mobility and Convenience David Bunch. "While current EV drivers are feeling more confident, the relatively high cost of owning an electric vehicle, combined with broader economic pressures, are making it a difficult decision for new consumers." President Joe Biden and his Democrat predecessor saw climate change as an existential crisis and electric vehicles as a key to combating that crisis. Obama initiated the $7,500 EV tax rebate during his term, and Biden expanded the program during his. While it hasn't been a big subject for Trump this time around, he did call some of the rhetoric around climate change a hoax when he first ran for president back in 2015. EVs just aren't as popular in the U.S. as they are in China and Europe. However, hybrid vehicles, which are mainly ICE engines with a small battery backup, are gaining in popularity. Ford hybrid sales increased nearly 30% to 22,719 vehicles in May. Year to date, hybrid sales are up more than 31%. According to Bunch, hybrids could play a key role in ultimately decarbonizing our driving experiences. "With the right policies and industry collaboration, we can make the transition affordable for consumers and attractive for investors. But more must be done to stimulate demand and ensure no one is left behind in the shift to cleaner transport," he said.

$1 million lottery prizes in these 2 states are about to expire
$1 million lottery prizes in these 2 states are about to expire Show Caption Hide Caption Odds of winning the Powerball and Mega Millions are NOT in your favor Odds of hitting the jackpot in Mega Millions or Powerball are around 1-in-292 million. Here are things that you're more likely to land than big bucks. Two lucky lottery winners in Idaho and Virginia don't have much time to claim their $1 million jackpot prizes, as both tickets are set to expire in less than two weeks. Idaho and Virginia lottery officials announced that the two winning $1 million tickets for each respective state are still unclaimed. The ticket in Virginia won the state's New Year's Millionaire Raffle drawing on Jan. 1, 2025, while the ticket in Idaho is from last winter's Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle. Both winning tickets will expire on Monday, June 30, at 5 p.m. EST (Virginia) and 5 p.m. MDT (Idaho). The winning ticket in Virginia was bought at the Food Lion at 30 Windward Drive in Fishersville, while the winning ticket in Idaho was sold from an Idaho Lottery retail location in Star, a city about 24 miles away from Boise. What will happen if the prizes are unclaimed? If neither ticket is claimed, then they will be deemed "worthless" as, by law, lottery officials in those states will not be able to pay the prizes. By law, winning tickets in Virginia and Idaho expire 180 days after the drawing. Unclaimed prizes in Virginia go to the state's literary fund, while all unclaimed prizes at the end of the fiscal year in Idaho go to the state's lottery beneficiaries, including its public schools. Idaho lottery officials added that each year, about $5 million in winning lottery tickets in the state go unclaimed. The $1 million winning raffle ticket in Virginia was one of five $1 million winners in the state's annual drawing. The other four have been claimed, according to Virginia lottery officials. The unclaimed ticket is #229618. If no one comes forward with the winning ticket in Idaho, this will become only the third $1 million winning draw ticket in the state's lottery history to go unclaimed and the first in more than a decade, officials said. What should the unclaimed winning lottery ticket holders do? Lottery officials in Idaho and Virginia advise the two individuals with the unclaimed winning tickets to contact their state lottery officials immediately. Virginia has eight customer service centers across the state where the ticket can be redeemed, while the winner in Idaho would have to go to the state's lottery office in Boise to claim their prize. Where can you buy lottery tickets? Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets. You can also order tickets online through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, in these U.S. states and territories: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., and West Virginia.

Top oil CEOs sound the alarm as Israel-Iran strikes escalate
Top oil chief executives have raised the alarm over Israel and Iran's escalating conflict, warning about the consequences of further attacks on key energy infrastructure. Israel's surprise attack on Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure on Friday has been followed by four days of spiraling warfare between the regional foes. Some oil and gas facilities have been hit in both countries in recent days, although major energy infrastructure and crude flows have so far been spared. The potential for major supply disruption remains a key concern, however, particularly worst-case scenarios such as Iran blocking the highly strategic Strait of Hormuz. "The last 96 hours have been very concerning … both for the region but more broadly in terms of where the global energy system is going given the uncertainty and the backdrop that we see right now and the geopolitical volatility," Shell CEO Wael Sawan told CNBC's JP Ong on Tuesday. Speaking at the Energy Asia conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Shell's Sawan said the London-listed company has a "significant footprint" in the Middle East, both in terms of operated assets and shipments. "How we navigate over the coming days and weeks, the situation is something that is particularly top of mind for myself, and the leadership team," Sawan said. Oil prices traded higher on Tuesday, extending recent gains. International benchmark Brent crude futures with August stood at $74.84 per barrel at 1:15 p.m. London time, up more than 2%. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures with July delivery, meanwhile, was last seen up 2% at $73.2. Oil traders see the Israel-Iran conflict as the most significant geopolitical event since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné said the French oil giant's primary concern amid Israel-Iran tensions is the security of its regional employees. "We are the largest international oil company in the region. We were born 100 years ago in Iraq, and we still have operations in Iraq, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi Arabia," Pouyanné told CNBC on the sidelines of the same event. Pouyanné said he hoped further strikes would not concern oil installations "because this could become a real problematic hit, not only in terms of safety and hazards and risks, but also in terms of global markets." As Israel and Iran continue to exchange strikes, some shipowners have started to steer clear from the Strait of Hormuz. The waterway, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea, is recognized as one of the world's most important oil chokepoints. The inability of oil to traverse through the Strait of Hormuz, even temporarily, can ratchet up global energy prices, raise shipping costs and create significant supply delays. Market watchers remain skeptical that Iran will seek to close the waterway, however, suggesting it might even be physically impossible. Amjad Bseisu, CEO of U.K.-based EnQuest, described 2025 as "the year of volatility." "It's almost like every day we see something different but obviously this war between Israel and Iran is another step up," Bseisu told CNBC on Tuesday. "The quicker we can come to an end of this terrible conflict, the better for overall markets but I do think that the market is well supplied in the short to medium term," he added.
