Grand prize indeed! Powerball winner Edwin Castro publicly claimed $2.04 billion jackpot — on Valentine's Day
Powerball drawings are held at 11 p.m. EDT Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, including holidays. According to Powerball.com, players have a 1 in 292.2 million chance to match all six numbers. Prizes range from $2 to the grand prize jackpot, which varies. The next Powerball drawing will be Saturday, March 29.
Prizes for Florida Lottery must be claimed within 180 days (six months) from the date of the drawing. To claim a single-payment cash option, a winner has within the first 60 days after the applicable draw date to claim it.
The Florida Lottery says its scratch-off tickets and Fast Play game prizes "must be claimed within 60 days of the official end-of-game date. Once the applicable time period has elapsed, the related Florida Lottery ticket will expire."
According to Florida Lottery's website, winners cannot remain anonymous: "Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide records containing information such as the winner's name, city of residence; game won, date won, and amount won to any third party who requests the information."
However, the site states, the "names of lottery winners claiming prizes of $250,000 or greater will be temporarily exempt from public disclosure for 90 days from the date the prize is claimed, unless otherwise waived by the winner."
Lottery experts and lawyers have said there are ways to remain anonymous if you win.

Why force majeure clauses in leases are crucial amid tariff uncertainty
The only certainty businesses can rely upon from the current administration's trade policies is, well, uncertainty. On Inauguration Day, President Donald Trump announced across the board 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports. Six days later, 25% tariffs on all Colombian imports. In response, Colombia retaliated with 25% tariffs on U.S. goods. Since then, the tariff whiplash ride has continued, including tariffs on Chinese imports and steel and aluminum imports, among others, as demonstrated in this timeline. Amid the fluctuation, national and global economic markets are reeling from the same levels of angst and inability to plan as were experienced during the pandemic and supply chain issues of 2020. During those chaotic times, companies sat on their cash and assets, not knowing what to expect or when the markets would normalize or return to their previous levels. For various reasons, but mainly due to governmental regulations mandating the closures of certain non-essential businesses, many companies closed their doors, stopped operating, or required their employees to work from home. Given the unprecedented nature of these events, many companies looked at the force majeure provisions of their leases to justify reducing or ceasing their rental payments for facilities that they were either unable or unwilling to use. Lawyers representing both landlords and tenants were hyper-focused on reviewing their force majeure provisions. These 'miscellaneous' provisions, generally relegated to a quick check to make sure they were in the lease, were now being given the same level of substantive review and scrutiny typically reserved for rent tables. The results of this exercise (and the resulting court cases) are polished force majeure clauses that very specifically and expressly list governmental regulations and ordinances imposed due to epidemics or pandemics as specific force majeure events, clarifying with even greater detail that any such events of force majeure do not excuse a tenant's obligation to continue to fulfill its financial obligations under a lease (specifically a continued obligation to pay rent). Such clarification is now so common that any attorney representing a landlord who fails to include such express language in its force majeure clause runs the risk of being on the losing end of a malpractice claim. The unrelenting and pervasive uncertainty surrounding current trade wars presents another opportunity to shine up that recently polished force majeure clause to address the newest force majeure event: the effect of tariffs on the reduced availability or the prohibitive costs of equipment and materials. Many well-drafted force majeure clauses may already have the unavailability of labor or materials listed as such an event of force majeure. However, just as many fail to list such an eventuality at all — and even fewer mention anything directly about the influence and impact of trade wars and tariffs. Although many companies have stockpiled equipment and materials to get ahead of any increased cost of imports, those stockpiles will eventually be depleted. Once replenished, to maintain operating income, many businesses will be forced to either replenish such items at a higher cost, which will likely be passed along to consumers, or maintain a lower inventory, resulting in shortages of certain materials. Combine these higher prices and inventory shortages with the very common buildout requirements of almost every lease and you have a brewing performance and delivery issue that must now be addressed. The majority of leases that contain either a landlord or tenant build-out also contain some deadline by which such work must be completed. Failure to meet such deadline is usually remedied by some offsetting free rent or possibly an ultimate right to terminate. The current issue now becomes one of timing. Although you may currently be negotiating the terms of a lease and may be looking at the current costs and availability of equipment and materials to complete the build-outs, it normally takes some additional period of weeks or months before that lease gets finalized and signed. That build-out will not begin until the lease is signed, and then that build-out deadline will be some number of weeks or months after that. Therefore, you may be moving forward under the assumption of current equipment availability and cost to meet timeline obligations; however, it is important to instead consider (and somehow divine) the availability of those items months from now. As noted above, those costs and availabilities are probably going to be worse than they are today. However, given the seesaw nature of these 'on again, off again' tariffs and levies, it has become almost impossible to predict which products will be affected, when, and by how much. How do you protect from these uncertainties? By expressly stating in your shiny and newly polished force majeure provision that these items are uncertain and beyond control, and by adding them to the specific list of force majeure events that excuse or delay a party's obligation to perform. You then also make sure that you expressly carve out force majeure events from your obligation in the lease to complete that build-out by any date certain. Get ahead of this issue and make these changes in your base lease forms now, and when those equipment shortages and exorbitant prices start kicking in, you'll be covered and thankful that you did.

Construction headaches in Beachwalk, Deerwood Village
Welcome to the Monday edition of Jacksonville's Morning News for June 9, 2025. A construction traffic shift on County Road 210 has been delayed, while small business owners in the Deerwood Plaza area can't wait for construction of a new Publix to end. TRAFFIC: A construction traffic shift on County Road 210 has been delayed by a week. WOKV reported last week that a traffic shift in the Beachwalk area was planned to start today. But the county says it will now happen on June 16th. That's when westbound traffic will be diverted to a newly constructed roadway. Eastbound lanes will shift to the new roadway on the night of June 19th. It's part of a $15 million widening project that will include six traffic lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, and a new intersection. A construction maze in Deerwood has businesses appealing for help to speed things up. Construction of a new Publix store at Baymeadows and Southside began last October, and isn't expected to be done until December. Businesses in the area say they've been having a hard time with limited parking spaces and construction vehicles all over. The owner of Scramblers says business has been down substantially since they lost their parking lot. Shop owners say if they could just get access to even a section of their parking spaces, it would dramatically help their business. WEATHER: First Alert Meteorologist Corey Simma says heat and humidity continue with a few storms. Highs today will reach the lower and middle 90s with peak feels like temperatures 100-105. Like yesterday, rain and storm coverage will be greatest in SE GA and will still be hit-or-miss. Many neighborhoods, especially across NE FL, look to stay mostly dry today. Storm coverage ramps up beginning Tuesday across the area with daily rounds of rain continuing through the rest of the week. Wednesday and Thursday look to feature the most storms across our area with an active sea breeze. TROPICS: All is quiet in the Atlantic. You can follow daily updates with Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh and his Talking the Tropics blog. Three Big Things to Know: Thousands of protesters took to the street in Los Angeles on Sunday in response to President Donald Trump's extraordinary deployment of the National Guard against Governor Gavin Newsom's wishes. The demonstrations centered on a cluster of federal buildings including a detention center where immigrants arrested on Friday were taken. As the protests swelled on Sunday, demonstrators blocked a freeway entrance, set self-driving cars on fire and threw objects including concrete and electric scooters at law enforcement officers and vehicles. It was a story that captivated Jacksonville nearly three decades ago - the search for 8-year-old Maddie Clifton ended with the discovery of her body under a neighbor's waterbed. This morning, the man who killed Maddie heads before a judge to learn if his sentence of life in prison will be reviewed. Josh Phillips is expected to be in court at 9:00 am to learn when the judge will review his sentence. A child drowned in the ocean in Fernandina Beach. Lifeguards just north of Seaside Park were flagged down by beachgoers just before noon Saturday about a child in distress. The 5-year-old was pulled from the water by bystanders before lifeguards arrived to perform CPR, and still had a pulse when the fire department arrived. Despite rescue and medical efforts, the child reportedly went into cardiac arrest again at the hospital and died.
