Lottery player let scratch-offs pile up — and one of them was a big winner
A Pennsylvania man picked up a lottery ticket while in Maryland on a business trip and ended up winning $50,000. Ralph DiGuiseppe III, who works in real estate, bought the $10 Ice scratch-off in April, Maryland Lottery officials said in a June 13 news release. He was at a travel plaza in Aberdeen when he noticed the lottery vending machine and made the purchase, lottery officials said. He didn't scratch the ticket right away, in keeping with his usual practice. 'I'll pick up a few scratch-offs when I stop in different places. When the pile gets too big, I scratch them,' he said, per the release. Then a few weeks back, while relatives were visiting, DiGuiseppe had them work through the scratch-off pile, lottery officials said. He was mowing the law when 'he saw a mob of people emerge from the house,' according to lottery officials. 'I couldn't tell whether they looked worried or excited,' he said, according to lottery officials. But he soon learned he was $50,000 richer. The Ice game made its debut in April, and four $100,000 top prizes remain, lottery officials said. Aberdeen is about a 30-mile drive northwest from Baltimore.

With write-ins counted, Frank Peranteau stands alone on ballot for Bristol Borough mayor
Frank W. Peranteau, Sr. has likely clinched the Bristol Borough mayorship after Bucks County finalized the write-in totals for the race's Republican primary this week. Peranteau, a former police chief who retired as district judge in 2023, ran against incumbent Ralph DiGuiseppe III in the Democratic primary, beating DiGuiseppe, who is also the son of the current borough council president, by just a couple dozen votes, according to unofficial results. Both candidates also received write-in votes for the Republican primary, which the county prioritized canvassing this week upon request from the campaigns since it was a close race, a county spokesperson confirmed. Since there were no named candidates in the Republican primary, only write-in votes were received for that race. Peranteau received 266 write-ins for the Republican primary to DiGuiseppe's 169 votes, clinching both primaries for Peranteau and likely handing him the mayor post since there will be no race in the general election in November. Chuck Norris and Scott Pressler, a right-wing voting organizer, also received one write-in vote each in the Republican primary. Three write-in votes were invalid, because the voter filled in the bubble but didn't write a name, the spokesperson said. DiGuiseppe, a realtor and former school board president, took office in 2022 upon the death of then-Mayor Joe Saxton. Peranteau, then a district judge, was the one to swear DiGuiseppe in as the new mayor. The new mayor will serve a four-year term, governing with borough council in this Delaware River town of about 10,000 residents that has seen new housing and redevelopment and growth of its business district in recent years.
