Michigan woman wins $4 million on scratch-off ticket she received as "just because" gift
"My dad bought a $150,000,000 Spectacular instant game ticket and gave it to me," said the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous. "I was surprised when he handed it to me, and I asked him why he bought it for me. He said it was a 'just because gift,' which I thought was really nice of him.
"When I scratched the ticket off, I was stunned to see that it was a $4 million winner. I had so many emotions going through my body. I screamed. I cried. I was and still am shocked I won $4 million."
The ticket was bought at Light House Liquor, located at 13651 West 9 Mile Road in Oak Park.
The lucky winner elected to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $2.7 million, and she plans to save her winnings.
The Michigan Lottery says players have won more than $18 million playing $150,000,000 Spectacular, which launched in December 2024. More than $153 million in prizes remain up for grabs in the $150,000,000 Spectacular, including two $4 million top prizes and 20 $10,000 prizes.

Ford's AI cameras are catching hard-to-spot manufacturing errors. It could solve the company's costly recalls.
Every year, more than 300,000 F-150 pickups roll off the line at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant. The vehicle — America's best-selling car — has a complex lineup of trim levels, electrical hardware, wiring harnesses, badges, fenders, and seat variations. As machines whir and workers assemble components with gloved hands, certain new members of the company's quality-assurance team never get distracted: AI-powered cameras. Ford has rolled out two in-house artificial intelligence systems, called AiTriz and MAIVS, to detect factory defects in real time. AiTriz, implemented in December 2024 and named after its Spain-based creator Beatriz Garcia Collado, uses machine learning and video streaming to catch millimeter-scale misalignments. MAIVS, which debuted in January 2024, relies on still images from smartphones mounted on 3D-printed stands that verify all of the correct parts are properly mounted on vehicles. Together, they're helping workers pinpoint issues on the spot — before problems turn into costly warranty claims, recalls, or rework. It's an area Ford is hoping to improve upon after leading the automotive industry in recalls in four of the past five years. "Imagine you're an operator, and you're getting a vehicle every minute. You have a number of different tasks you have to complete, and every vehicle is different," Jeff Tornabene, who manages vision applications at Ford's Manufacturing Technology and Development Center, told Business Insider. "When your control system knows the recipe, and your vision system can check it, there are some helpful suspenders there that make sure you're putting the right part on the right vehicle." AI could be Ford's fix for a costly recall problem These tools could relieve a billion-dollar headache for Ford. This year, the automaker faced a record 94 recalls, primarily affecting cars built before 2023. It's the most safety bulletins any major car brand has ever posted in an entire calendar year, and it's still early August. Chrysler has the second-highest number of recalls among major automakers, with 21. Those bulletins are costing Ford millions of dollars. For example, a fuel leak recall for 694,271 units of the popular Bronco Sport and Escape SUV models will cost $570 million, according to the Detroit Free Press. The company's AI-supported systems are already making a significant difference on the automaker's manufacturing floors, Patrick Frye, an engineering manager at the Dearborn plant, said. "It absolutely has helped from an operational standpoint," Frye told Business Insider. "Instead of having to wait for vehicles to hit end-of-line or certain checkpoints, it allows for better in-station process control." That kind of speed matters. Before systems like AiTriz, many electrical issues wouldn't surface until the final inspection, if at all, Frye said. Fixing those later often required ripping out carpets or removing seats. And as Ford vehicles gain more screens, sensors, and self-driving hardware, even a slightly loose connection can cause major headaches. For human workers, the tiny difference between a loose part and a good connection can be impossible to catch. "With our handwear to protect our hands, or the general factory noise, you don't always hear the click, or you can't always feel the snap of two connectors going together," Frye said. Brandon Tolsma, a vision engineer at Ford's MTDC, said AI's real-time results are often the difference between a fast fix and a carpet-ripping problem. "As the vehicle goes through the assembly line, it gets harder and harder to access some of these components," Tolsma said. "I can't stress enough how the real-time results are key in saving us time." The systems are now installed at dozens of stations across North America — AiTriz at 35 stations, and MAIVS at nearly 700. While MAIVS is limited to still images, AiTriz's live video feed offers more precision and adaptability, especially in cases of occlusion (like if a worker walks through a camera's frame or when a sheetmetal component blocks an electrical connection). Previously, some faulty connectors still passed final inspection, since they made basic electrical contact, Tolsma said. But if the plugs weren't fully seated, they could later jostle loose in real-world driving. Ford believes AI cameras are catching those millimeter-off subtleties that factory workers — even with extensive experience — might miss, even if it's hidden behind sheet metal and carpeting. "As the operators are trying to do their job quickly, it can be kind of hard to see, especially if they're some distance away from the electrical connector," Tolsma said. "But with vision, a high-powered camera can see that difference pretty clearly." The start of a smarter assembly line Analysts are cautiously optimistic. David Whiston, a Morningstar analyst who covers Ford, told BI that AI shows long-term promise, but it's still in its early stages. "I do think AI done effectively could reduce recalls over the next decade and beyond," he said. "But for now, there's no guarantee it'll work. Anything that's more preventative in not only manufacturing but in design and engineering should, in theory, reduce warranty and recall costs." For now, Tornabene says the vision tools are meant to assist the manufacturing workforce, not replace it. As models grow more complex, AI systems like AiTriz and MAIVS have the potential to support plant operators who are implementing more advanced sensors, computer chips, and processors to aid Ford's self-driving ambitions, Tornabene told BI. They're also helping to cut through factory noise, ensuring that each car is built as intended. "This isn't the endpoint for us," Tornabene said. "This is just the start of the plans that we have to make this technology a quality game-changer."

Ford's $5 Billion Model T Moment Aims To Turn EV Operation Profitable
Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley announces a new electric vehicle platform and assembly system at the Louisville Assembly Plant on August 11. Ford Motor Co. Less than two weeks after announcing its electric vehicle unit lost $1.3 billion during the second quarter and expected to lose billions more this year, Ford Motor Co. now plans to invest around $5 billion to reset its EV program with more affordable vehicles produced more efficiently, at lower cost, the automaker announced Monday. The key to the strategy is reinventing the process Ford first invented 122 years ago that changed the way vehicles have been built ever since—the assembly line. It's what CEO Jim Farley is calling the company's 'Model T moment,' referring to the vehicle that rolled off that first assembly line. In essence, it's a major do-over for the company's EV operation. 'Nobody wants to see another good college try by a Detroit automaker to make an affordable vehicle that ends up with idled plants, layoffs and uncertainty,' said Farley in a statement. 'So, this has to be a good business. From Day One, we knew there was no incremental path to success. We empowered a tiny skunkworks team three time zones away from Detroit. We reinvented the moving assembly line. And we are on a path to be the first automaker to make prismatic LFP batteries in the U.S. We will not rely on imports.' A new line of what Ford describes as affordable, electric, software-defined vehicles will be based on the Ford Universal EV Platform, will be built on the company's reinvention of the assembly line it calls the Ford Universal Production System. The initial location to be converted to the new system is Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant where the first vehicle will be a midsize, five-seat, four-door electric pickup truck. It's due reaching customers in 2027 with a starting price Ford estimates at about $30,000. Final pricing and other specs will be announced closer to its launch. However, the company offered a few tidbits including expected zero-to-60 mph 'as fast as a Mustang EcoBoost, with more downforce,' and more passenger room than the latest model Toyota RAV4. It will also include a frunk, bed, exportable power and will be capable of Ford's Blue Cruise automated driving technology, chief operating officer Kumar Galhotra revealed in an online media briefing before the formal announcement. The new platform and production system work hand-in-hand. The Ford Universal EV Platform reduces parts by 20% versus a typical vehicle, with 25% fewer fasteners, 40% fewer workstations dock-to-dock in the plant and 15% faster assembly time, according to Galhotra. A cobalt-free and nickel-free lithium-iron phosphate, or LFP, battery pack is a structural sub-assembly that also serves as the vehicle's floor. Where the traditional assembly line is basically a glorified conveyer belt where workers attach parts as the vehicle rolls by, or stops briefly, Ford is calling the Universal Production System an 'assembly tree.' 'Instead of a linear assembly line, it will have three independent branches, front, the rear and the structural battery,' explained Galhotra. 'So the battery itself is structure is critical to the structure of the vehicle and then the all of these branches come together at the end, when we integrate the interior, seats, carpet, consoles, etc, all of these branches run in parallel. So imagine, instead of one line, these three lines running in parallel and coming together at the end. Large single-piece aluminum unicastings replace dozens of smaller parts, enabling the front and rear of the vehicle to be assembled separately. To improve ergonomics for line workers parts travel down the assembly tree to operators in a kit that includes all fasteners, scanners and power tools required for the job. The company expects the new process to enable the new electric truck to be assembled 40% faster than current vehicles being produced at the Louisville plant. To make this all happen, Ford says it's investing nearly $2 billion to produce the new electric pickup truck. The project is also being supported by incentives from the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority. The $2 billion to build the new production system is in addition to the previously announced $3 billion investment in Ford's BlueOval Battery Park in Marshall, Michigan which will start producing prismatic LFP batteries for the midsize electric pickup truck next year. Between the two investments, Ford says it's helping to secure nearly 4,000 direct jobs. It's all a multi-billion dollar gamble by Ford that by more efficiently producing EVs that are more affordable in body styles customers desire, it can start making money on electric vehicles for the first time. The automaker currently offers three EV models: the F-150 Lightning pickup truck, Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit. Ford's announcement comes a little more than six weeks before the $7,500 federal tax incentive on qualified EVs ends, further challenging the affordability of those vehicles for some. 'The elimination of government-backed incentives and the emergence of new tariff headwinds signal a more volatile phase for the industry. The training wheels are coming off, and the transition to electrification will no longer be buoyed by incentives alone,' wrote director of industry insights for Cox Automotive, Stephanie Valdez Streaty, in a recent report. 'Automakers and retailers alike will need to navigate this next chapter with agility, as the EV landscape becomes more complex and demanding of true market resilience.' It all adds up to compelling reasons for Ford to invoke its Model T moment. When Henry Ford began selling the first mass-produced car he told customers they could have any color they wanted, as long as it was black. More than a century later, the company that invented the assembly line is hoping the re-invented version of it, combined with a simpler platform, will provide enough choices at affordable prices to turn the bottom line for its EV unit from red…to the Model T's only color. This story will be updated with content from the official announcement event at Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant.

'The 2 Kevins' and the other potential picks Trump could name to replace Jerome Powell
Christopher Waller Fed Gov. Christopher Waller's chances appeared diminished when Trump praised "the Two Kevins" on August 5. But Waller's name rose to the top of leading prediction markets after Bloomberg News reported days later that he was emerging as the president's favorite. Waller, a longtime regional Fed official, was seen as a convention pick when Trump nominated him to the central bank in 2019. Simultaneously, Trump also nominated Judy Shelton, a former campaign advisor and a Fed critic. The fight over Shelton's nomination soon seeped over onto Waller's. In December 2020, the Senate confirmed Waller 48-47, the narrowest margin for any Fed governor since 1980, per The New York Times. In July, Waller joined Gov. Michelle Bowman (another Trump first-term pick) in opposing the Fed's decision not to cut interest rates, the first dual dissent in more than 30 years. Kevin Hassett Before joining Trump's orbit, Hassett advised a succession of Republican presidential nominees on economic policy, including George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. During Trump's first term, Hassett served as director of the president's Council of Economic Advisors. He returned to the White House during the COVID-19 pandemic and was severely criticized for publishing a model showing coronavirus deaths hitting zero by May 15, 2020. In October 1999, Hassett cowrote with journalist Jason Glassman "Dow 36,000: The New Strategy for Profiting From the Coming Rise in the Stock Market." Some economists have heavily criticized the book, largely because the index took more than 22 years to reach that threshold. Kevin Warsh Trump reportedly considered Warsh to lead the Fed before he chose to nominate Powell in 2017. Warsh spent his early years at Morgan Stanley, working as a specialist in mergers and acquisitions. President George W. Bush nominated him to the Fed in 2006 after Warsh served as an economic advisor in the Bush White House. Drawing on his Wall Street ties, Warsh played a pivotal role in the central bank's response to the 2008 global financial crisis. When he left the Fed in 2011, the Times called him the Fed's chief liaison to Wall Street. From the sidelines, Warsh has echoed Trump's criticism of Powell, calling for "regime change" at the Fed. "The specter of the miss they made on inflation, it has stuck with them," Warsh told CNBC in July. "So one of the reasons why the president, I think, is right to be pushing the Fed publicly is we need regime change in the conduct of policy." James Bullard James "Jim" Bullard spent 15 years leading the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and is now the dean of Purdue's business school. During his time on the Fed's Open Markets Committee, Bullard was viewed as a key indicator of the central bank's policy. He remains a frequent commentator on economic news. On Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Bullard was one of the new contenders added to a list of roughly 10 people. According to the Journal, Bullard recommended Waller for his eventual Fed nomination in 2019. Bullard has previously expressed interest in serving as Fed chairman if a vacancy occurred. Marc Sumerlin Like others on this list, Sumerlin worked as an economic policy advisor to President George W. Bush and rose to become deputy director of the National Economic Council. Sumerlin founded a consulting firm in 2013. According to the Journal, his work with the firm has led to interactions with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
