Another big-winning scratch-off ticket sold in Westmoreland County
For the third time in a month, someone who bought a lottery ticket in Westmoreland County has won big. A $1 million-winning Jackpot scratch-off was sold at the Crabtree Gas & Go on Roosevelt Way in Crabtree, the Pennsylvania Lottery announced on Tuesday. Jackpot is a $20 game that offers top prizes of $1 million. The store will get a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. Just last week, a $1,000,000 Winnings scratch-off worth $1 million was sold at Rick's Tobacco Outlet on South Main Street in Greensburg. In mid-May, a scratch-off worth $3 million was bought at the Exxon on Rostraver Road in Belle Vernon. On Monday, the Pennsylvania Lottery announced that someone in Beaver County won more than $1.3 million playing the online game Jackpot Spectacular, which is a connect-style game with shared progressive jackpots across multiple states. The Pennsylvania Lottery says scratch-offs are distributed at random, meaning it doesn't know where winning tickets will be sold. The lottery only learns about winning tickets after a prize has been claimed. Scratch-off prizes expire a year from the game's end-sale date, so winners should immediately sign the back of winning tickets and call the lottery at 1-800-692-7481. The Pennsylvania Lottery says since it began selling tickets in 1972, it has contributed more than $36 billion to programs that benefit older residents, like tax and rent rebates, transportation and care services.

Colour and geometry: The best design trends to emerge from Milan Design Week
Milan Design Week is an annual furniture and design trade fair that takes place in Milan, Italy. Officially known as Salone Del Mobile, the event was held last month and showcased some of the latest trends and innovations in furniture and interior design. Green, yellow and vivid purple punctuated the streets of Milan. Pic: Falper. The event included exhibitions, product launches, open showrooms, talks, workshops and parties hosted by both brands and designers. Group design manager at Winnings, Kate McGlone, shares some of the most exciting design takeaways from the week. The rise of Nabuk When it came to new materials, McGlone saw a "clear admiration" for Nabuk, particularly with sofas and armchairs. Nabuk is top-grain leather that is sanded or buffed to create a velvety, napped surface. Nabuk was a popular choice for sofas and armchairs. Pic: Molinari. "It's a delicate, suede-like leather that's perhaps not suited to high-traffic family living, but its softness and nuanced texture offer a sublime sensory experience," she says. "Nabuk evokes the feeling of a warm hug or a favourite blanket, comforting and luxurious, as well as visually striking." Colour play According to McGlone, colour made a "bolder return" at this year's event. Colour made a "bolder return" at this year's event. Pic: Falper. "Mint green, mustard yellow, and vivid purple punctuated the streets of Milan, often seen together or paired with a neutral base," she says. "Rather than being loud or overwhelming, these hues added layered emotion and vibrancy to spaces, each playing a unique role in storytelling and mood-making." Gloss and glow While its return began last year, high-gloss materiality was a celebrated finish especially in "mustard tones". "Their reflective nature adds depth and elegance, particularly when contrasted with more organic textures," McGlone says. The warmth of timber Unsurprisingly, timber was still a popular choice for furniture. However, walnut was the popular hue at this year's event. Walnut was the popular timber hue at this year's event.

Bold geometry takes the floor Unlike the neutrals and minimalist patterns of the previous years, rugs with bold patterns were back with a bang. Rugs with bold patterns were back with a bang.

"Vivid, geometric patterns adorned living settings, injecting energy and playfulness underfoot and redefining the role of rugs from background players to central characters," says McGlone. Mixed materiality McGlone noticed a trend towards the use of mixed materials at the event. "Metal, leather, and timber were often paired in joinery and furniture pieces, showcasing a refined complexity," she says. "These combinations allowed minimalist, contemporary forms to feel layered and intentional, creating pieces that are not only beautiful to look at but also to touch." Curvature and soft forms Curvature and soft shapes have been enjoying a rise in popularity and this year's event showed they're not going anywhere soon. Curvature and soft shapes retained popularity.

"These curves also provide the perfect canvas for bold material choices, striking a careful balance in well-considered spaces." Lighting as storytelling One particularly exciting trend that McGlone observed was in the area of lighting. Where lighting has previously revolved around function, this year's event showcased lighting as a vehicle for visual storytelling.

"We saw a poetic exploration of materials and form, where each piece conveyed emotion, memory, or atmosphere," she says. "There were subtle nods to the past through Art Deco influences, glimpses of glamour reinterpreted for the modern eye." McGlone also witnessed a reimagining of the classic chandelier. "Once reserved for grandeur or tradition, it now confidently holds space in both contemporary and classic settings," she says. "Whether sculptural or minimalist, suspended or clustered, lighting in Milan was less about illumination and more about identity, telling stories through glass, metal, and the spaces between."
