Michigan Lottery player has a $1 million Powerball prize waiting
The Michigan Lottery said the lucky player matched five white balls in Monday's drawing to win $1 million: 08-12-45-46-63. The red number was 24.
"A lucky Michigander woke up this morning to news that they won $1 million playing Powerball at MichiganLottery.com," said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. "Winning $1 million would be a dream come true for many Lottery players, and I want to be the first to congratulate the player on their big win!"
Although there was a "match 5" winner in Michigan and a "match 5 plus power play" winner in Arizona, no one won the Powerball jackpot that required a perfect match on the ticket to all white numbers and the additional red number.
All lower-tier prizes in the Powerball game are set amounts. The jackpots grow until someone wins the top prize.
The next Powerball drawing is Wednesday night, with an estimated jackpot of $264 million. Tickets are $2 in most participating states, including Michigan. A "power play" option that can boost the lower-level prize amounts is an additional $1.
Michigan's winner should contact the Lottery's Player Relations division at 844-917-6325 to make arrangements to claim the prize. Powerball prizes must be claimed within one year from the date of the drawing.

You've Probably Heard of a California King Mattress. But What About an Alberta King?
There's more than one king size in the mattress world. Our sleep expert helps parse which one might fit your needs. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. King-sized mattresses are the largest mattress size you can get, right? Surprise! It's not just the standard king anymore. With king mattress size options these days, you've got territories, states, and split surfaces all involved. If you weren't prepared for this pop quiz in mattress geography, worry not—I am. I'm a professional mattress tester of five years and, in this case, our expedition guide to walk you through it all. But if you need a full education in all things mattress, we have a guide on how to choose one. All Hail the King Standard king mattresses are 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. You get extra foot room, and for solo sleepers plenty of space to move around. It's also plenty of space for co-sleepers, and maybe a dog and/or child. Standard king mattresses may also go by another name, known as Eastern king. Kind of like New York City being 'The Big Apple' or Chicago being 'the Windy City,' both names refer to the same thing. California king mattresses are a bit longer than standard mattresses (not unlike the actual state of California). The width is shorter at 72 inches, but you have more length to work with at 84 inches. If you're tall, this could be a perfect match for you. However, co-sleepers may want to keep the shorter width in mind, especially if one person tends to be a restless sleeper who infringes on their partner's side of the bed. Split king mattresses take on a more Tetris-like approach to achieving their size, which happens to be the same as a standard king at 76 inches by 80 inches. Two twin XL mattresses are put side by side, and each is 38 inches wide but 80 inches long. The idea behind this power-coupling can commonly be seen with adjustable mattresses and adjustable frames, where a split down the middle allows for a range of mobility you can't get with other beds. If you're a couple looking for adjustable firmnesses for your respective sides, or the opportunity to move the top and bottom of the bed, it's likely you'll wind up with a split king mattress. $4,498 $4,098 (9% off) Saatva Wyoming king mattresses are where things start to expand in the realm. This bed measures 84 inches by 84 inches. Very symmetrical, also like the state of Wyoming. Wyoming king mattresses are considered more of a specialty mattress, so if this strikes your fancy, it most likely will require a custom order from a company that makes it, like Wyoming King. Not to worry, though, because as specialty king mattress sizes become more popular, the offerings are becoming more plentiful. For my above-6-feet-tall people, stand up! Or, rather, lie down, because this is exactly a size that gives you the space you felt other mattress sizes lack. Alberta king mattresses measure at 8 feet on both sides, or 96 inches long and 96 inches wide to be exact. No need to trek to Canada for an Alberta king mattress, as there are plenty of custom builders out there to get you situated. If you are above 6 feet fall, we are entering the mattress territory that you may find very accommodating. And of course, as is always the case with me, pun intended. Texas king mattresses really up the ante, and I'll spare you another state analogy. These beds are 98 inches long and 80 inches wide, so there are a lot of wide open spaces for sleepers. Like Wyoming kings, Texas king mattresses are plenty spacious—they easily fit three adults, or two and some kiddos. Or, maybe, one person with five Great Danes. Now that would be a party. Alaskan king mattresses are the newest king-size territory to be explored. Standard kings are spacious, but the more sleepers you add, the more cramped it will become. That really goes for any size mattress, but Alaskan kings are exempt from that statement. These beds are an astounding 108 inches long by 108 inches wide, or 9 feet for both. Even the tallest of sleepers have something to work with here, as well as families or people with many, many pets. Which Will You Crown? Please, please, please take the tape measure out and confirm that your bedroom is going to be able to fit your king mattress of choice. It's going to be awkward ordering an Alaskan king mattress and unboxing it only to find that it can't fully unfurl on the frame, much less between the walls. Speaking of bed frames, make sure yours is up to the task of supporting the extra weight and square footage of a king-size mattress! Also, where do you even get sheets for an Alberta king or Alaskan king mattress? Good news: Many of the mattress makers offering these custom sizes produce sheets that fit their products. With that said, enjoy spreading out and having extra sleep real estate to work with, especially if the kids, dogs, and partners are all crashing with you.

9 Things in Your Home You Need to Get Rid of ASAP This Month
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." You might spend the most time getting organized around the new year and in the spring, but pros organizers say there's another period that's just as important: July. Between yard work, road trips, barbecues, water sports and kids' activities, your house has likely seen better days during this summer month. That's why we tapped professional organizers to find out the top things you should get rid of in your home this July. "I think July is the best month for a mid-year check-in and decluttering session," says Shaniece Jones, professional organizer and Founder of Closet Therapy. "It's the perfect time to restock summer essentials and let go of what's just taking up space. If it hasn't been used by now, it might be time to let it go." From ill-fitting swimwear and expired sunscreen to old school supplies and unwanted bikes taking up much-needed space in the garage, see suggestions from Jones and other professional organizers to keep your home in tip-top shape. Remember, anything that can be, should be donated. With all the outdoor activities on your schedule, from biking to swimming, chances are you have some unnecessary gear in your space. It's important to stay on top of it, especially if you have kids. "Get rid of bikes they've outgrown, pool toys collecting dust or swimwear that no longer fits," says Jones. Don't forget to get rid of defective beach umbrellas, too. And good news: Some things like camping gear and outdoor clothes can be donated. Just do a quick Google search first!Back-to-school season in August isn't the best time to tackle your kids' supplies, Jones says, as it's "highly intense and chaotic." This month, get a head start and declutter your kids' schoolwork from the past year. "Toss the old worksheets, reports and notebooks while things are a bit slow," she says. Tackle the mudroom as well, says Marissa Hagmeyer, NEAT Method co-founder and COO and author of the recently published book, The NEAT Method Organizing Recipe Book. "Set aside backpacks, lunchboxes and water bottles that are stained, broken or missing parts to be tossed or donated. The same goes for any other school supplies or gear that may need replacing before the school year."

There May Be Another Way"If you're using expired bug spray or sunscreen, they're not doing their job," says Hagmeyer. It's important to check dates on packaging, especially citronella stickers or bracelets. "Finish the summer off strong — sans sunburns — and clear space for products that actually work," she overlook your closet when you're decluttering. Are there pieces you didn't wear last summer? Is there an item you just don't love anymore? "If it didn't make it out of your closet last summer, there is a high chance it probably doesn't reflect your current style," Jones says. She recommends creating a Pinterest board just for your summer style. That way, you have a clear vision of what doesn't fit so you can easily declutter. Violetta Elezovic, founder of VS Organized Interiors, also suggests evaluating your summer wardrobe every year: "Go through your summer clothes and shoes that are worn out or no longer useful. In general, you can create more space in your wardrobe and keep a better eye on what you already have when things aren't so cluttered." And remember, many organizations will take gently worn summer clothing, including dresses and shorts.

You're bound to have some in your cabinet that you never reach for. "Summer leftovers, BBQs and picnics mean you're using food containers constantly," Lam says. "Take five minutes to match up lids, and toss any warped pieces." If you have too many, or they are just mismatched, check with local schools or senior center to see if they can be donated there. You can also try to find clever new uses for them, like storing crayons and pencils!Examine your beach towels to make sure they're in good shape. "If they are too thin or are ripped and frayed, it's time to let them go," says Nicole Gabai, founder of B. Organized!

My ex destroyed his relationship with our kids. Should I help fix it?
Dear Meghan: I have two teen sons, 16 and 14. Two years ago, their father moved out after deciding to pursue a relationship with another woman; the boys stayed with me by mutual agreement between all four of us. The kids were devastated by their dad's decision, and the months following his departure were awful. When they had planned time with their dad, he often changed plans, arrived late to see them, left early, spent the whole time on his phone and just generally made them feel like they were not a priority. My older son, then the younger one, eventually cut their dad out of their lives except for occasional text messages. Right now, both kids aren't interested in a relationship with their dad, and he doesn't seem very interested in a relationship with them, either. Although he professes to want a relationship, he has not done anything to try to repair things between them, instead insisting the boys need to 'grow up,' 'accept the way things are' and 'stop being so angry.' For now, things between them are at an impasse. I am struggling with my role. I am trying to balance their growing autonomy and their right (I believe) to set boundaries with their dad with the worry that eventually they will be sad they missed this time together. I have suggested to their dad that he make the overtures necessary to fix things between them, but he is not interested in my perspective. Fair enough. In my opinion, it would be best if their dad would apologize, make an effort to reconnect with the kids and work on showing them how much he loves them. I encourage the kids to keep an open mind toward their dad, and I require that they keep the lines of communication open. I think he has to be able to contact them, in case he does wake up one day and decide to try to repair things. I'm unsure of what my job is here. Am I more in a role of listening and supporting them through their complicated feelings or of actively encouraging/pushing them to reconnect with their dad despite his recent shortcomings? He was a really great dad to the boys while they were growing up, and I think his abrupt 'about face' in this regard is part of what has made the kids so hurt and angry. — What Next? What Next?: Thanks for writing in. I sighed deeply reading this; I hate to see the unnecessary pain parents cause their children when they disappear from their lives. The boys' father first hurt them by leaving (rightly or wrongly), but the continuous pain of not showing up is where the real damage lies. Many children can move forward — even through something hard like a parent leaving for another adult — if both parents are committed to staying connected to the children. But when one parent checks out, it re-wounds the children and places extra pressure on the connected parent. Your children's father has taken absolutely no responsibility for his choices, decisions or the pain caused. And worst of all? He is doubling down on his immaturity by blaming his sons for the rift! He has given his sons absolutely no reason to trust him, so my question to you is: Why would you push your sons to discard the evidence and not trust their intuition? Of course, it is awful that your ex was once a present and loving father, and we hope that he can see the light one day. That day is not today. By encouraging your sons to 'keep the lines of communication open,' you are essentially saying: 'Hey guys, don't trust your instincts, push aside your feelings and stay vulnerable to someone who has hurt you. Badly.' Oof. You are confused about what your 'role' is here, but it's pretty clear. Your sons are now old enough to know their own minds. What they think and feel and experience is valid; your role is never to talk them out of that. Here's the good news and the bad news: You don't need to do a lot to fulfill your role. You actually put it perfectly: 'I am trying to balance their growing autonomy and their right (I believe) to set boundaries with their dad … .' Boom, that's it. You are worried about them missing time with their dad, but the bad news is that it isn't your problem to solve. The worse news is that you will have to watch your sons be hurt and disappointed by their father, and there may not be anything you can do about it. But by subtly or overtly pressuring your sons to stay open to their father, you are encouraging them to mistrust themselves. That's not fair. Children (even teens) are not meant to 'be better' than their parents; it is always the parents responsibility to show up for their children. If their father wants to be in connection with them, he knows how to find them. When you ask if you should just be listening and supportive, the answer is yes. If your sons ask, 'Should we talk to Dad if he reaches out?' your only responsibility is to use curiosity and thoughtfulness. 'I don't know buddy, what would need to happen for you to want to talk to him?' By asking thoughtful questions, you promote reflection and responsiveness rather than anger and reactivity in your sons. Is this frustrating for you? You bet it is! There are no easy answers or solutions here, so follow your children's lead. Good luck.
