California lottery player lands mega $204 million Powerball jackpot
Someone in California has won the most recent Powerball jackpot, which is worth $204.5 million, according to lottery officials. The jackpot hit during the drawing that was held on Saturday, May 31. The jackpot has since been reset to $20 million. According to Powerball officials, the winner will have the choice between receiving an annuitized payment of $204.5 million or taking one large payout of $91.6 million. Both of those figures are before taxes. The winning ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven on Woodman Avenue in Arleta, California, which is just outside of Los Angeles. This is the fourth Powerball jackpot to hit this year. The last grand prize winner hit their numbers on April 26. That winner, an individual from Kentucky, won $167.3 million. An Oregon Powerball player was the first to win the big prize this year, scoring a hefty $328.5 million jackpot on January 18. The largest prize in 2025, however, was won on March 29 when a buyer matched all six Powerball numbers and won $527 million. The numbers for the most recent jackpot on Saturday were 1, 29, 37, 56, 68, with the Powerball number 13. Two other people — one from Florida and one from New Hampshire — won the $2 million Match 5 + Power Play prize. The next Powerball drawing will take place on Monday, June 2, just after 11pm EST.

Fans left baffled as Larry David is spotted attending Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's glitzy wedding
Larry David admittedly has few friends, so when the actor and comedian made a surprise appearance at Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's glitzy wedding to Hollywood actress Hailey Steinfeld, fans were understandably confused. 'Larry David attending Josh and Hailee's wedding was definitely not on my bingo card but I love it!!' a member of the Buffalo fanbase known as the Bills Mafia wrote on X. Dressed in a dark suit and sneakers, the 77-year-old Brooklynite was rather conspicuous in paparazzi photos from the ceremony in Montecito, California. Many fans assumed the Seinfeld co-creator and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm wasn't actually a guest, but filming a scene for a future episode of his hit HBO sitcom. 'Are they shooting a new season of Curb and this was staged?' one asked on X. Many others joked about a potential Seinfeld/Steinfeld mix-up. 'Sorry, I thought it said Seinfeld,' one fan wrote. 'But since I'm here... how's the brisket?' The connection between David and Allen wasn't immediately apparent, given the former's allegiance to the New York Jets, a divisional rival of the Bills. However, David wasn't likely invited as a guest of the groom. Rather, he appears to be a client of the bride's father, Los Angeles-area trainer Peter Steinfeld. Peter claims to have worked with an array of stars such as Madonna, Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey, Ozzie Osbourne and David himself. In fact, Peter's brother, Jake Steinfeld, is the creator of the Body By Jake fashion line, making personal fitness a bit of a family business. Daily Mail was at the festivities on Saturday, where photographers captured the moment a beaming Steinfeld, 28, made her way up the aisle on the arm of her proud dad Peter. In a modern twist, the actress dispensed with the traditional bridal bouquet and instead, accessorized her gown with full-length white gloves, large diamond studs and a frothy veil. Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld are seen on the red carpet at the NFL honors award show Later, the couple were seen celebrating saying 'I do' with a kiss in front of a clapping crowd of guests, with a dark suit-clad Allen seen looking proud as he made his way back down the aisle with his new wife. The al-fresco wedding took place at the tony San Ysidro ranch in Montecito – a celebrity favorite that has previously seen Chris Pratt , Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Simpson marry in its grounds. For Steinfeld and Allen, the gardens of the $3,000-a-night hotel had been decked out with bouquets of white roses, as well as elaborately trimmed bushes set out in pots. Along with dad Peter, Steinfeld's mom Cheri and brother Griffin were also among the guests looking on, as were Allen's parents Joel and LaVonne, and his siblings Jason, Nicala and Makenna.
