Sacramento brings back light rail elevator operators to cut crime and damage
Being a bus driver can be challenging at times, but there's another transit job in Sacramento that really has its ups and downs. Earleen Pringle is a SacRT elevator attendant. She operates the two-story lift at the Watt Avenue and Interstate 80 light rail station, keeping an eye out for trouble. In the mid-1900s, there were 90,000 elevator operators across the nation. Today, the job's virtually extinct, along with telephone operators, one-hour photo workers, video store clerks and other positions replaced with modern technology. Now, SacRT is bringing them back. The transit company's security chief says crime and intentional damage to the elevators had been a real problem in the past. "Obviously, there's graffiti and vandalism and lights broken and trash," said Lisa Hinz, SacRT's vice president of safety and security. "Sometimes, people would sleep in the elevators and they wouldn't allow the doors to be opened." Hinz said the elevator attendants are making a difference. "The amount of vandalism inside the elevators has dropped down to almost zero," she said. If the elevators are broken, SacRT has to activate a bus bridge to drive customers between the bottom level and the top. "Since October 2024, our elevators have been down so few times, we have not done one bus bridge," Hinz said. The attendant program doesn't cost SacRT any extra money because it uses existing employees assigned to light-duty jobs. "Maybe they perhaps can't drive a bus on that particular day, but they can stand in an elevator," Hinz said. Some customers do a double-take seeing an employee manning the elevator controls. They no longer have to press the button and can just enjoy the 30-second ride. Watt Avenue is the only light rail station with an elevator. Since the program began, there have been more than 100 employees that have been assigned to elevator duty.

Powerball Jackpot Hits $565 Million—Here's What The Winner Could Take Home
Topline The Powerball jackpot rose to $565 million—the year's biggest lottery prize so far—after none of the purchased tickets matched all six numbers drawn on Wednesday night, but the eventual winner is likely to take home a much smaller amount after paying their taxes. The Powerball jackpot has now risen to become the biggest lottery prize of 2025 so far. Getty Images Key Facts The six numbers drawn on Wednesday night were 4, 11, 40, 44, 50, and red Powerball 4. If a winner emerges in the next draw, they can choose between receiving the $565 million spread across 30 annual installments or a one-time lump sum cash payout of $258.8 million, which is usually the more popular choice. If the lump sum payout is chosen, the winnings will first drop to $196.7 million after a mandatory federal withholding of 24% is applied. The winner then is likely to face a federal marginal rate as high as 37%, depending on their taxable income, further slashing the prize to $163 million. If the winner picks the installment route, their annual payments of around $18.8 million would drop to $11.8 million if the 37% federal marginal rate is applied. Depending on their state of residence, the winner could face additional taxes as some, such as New York, tax lottery winnings at 10.9%, while others, such as Texas, Florida, and California, don't. What To Watch For The next draw for the Powerball jackpot will happen on Saturday night. A day before that, the Mega Millions lottery will hold a draw for a $198 million jackpot prize. Surprising Fact The eventual winner will have to overcome astronomical odds of 1 in 292.2 million to win the Powerball jackpot. This is slightly worse than the Mega Millions jackpot, which has odds of 1-in-290.4 million. The Mega Millions used to have even worse odds than the Powerball lottery, but the competition implemented significant changes earlier this year that slightly improved the odds of winning both the jackpot and smaller prizes. Key Background The current Powerball jackpot has now risen to become the biggest lottery prize of the year so far, eclipsing the $526.5 million prize won by a Powerball ticket buyer from California in March. The biggest Mega Millions jackpot of 2025 so far was a $349 million prize won by an Illinois resident in March. Last year's biggest lottery prize was also a Powerball jackpot—worth $1.326 billion—which was won by an Oregon resident.
