A Louisiana couple has claimed a $1.8 million jackpot-winning ticket for the June 6th Louisiana Lottery Lotto drawing. CBS affiliate KLFY-TV reports the couple found the ticket while cleaning the house – and the ticket was just days from expiring. The station reports that Harold and Tina Ehenrenberg of Mandeville say they found a pair of tickets they hadn't checked on a nightstand while they were cleaning for the Thanksgiving holiday. "We have family coming into town for Thanksgiving, so I was cleaning up the house and found a few Lottery tickets on my nightstand that we hadn't checked," Tina Ehrenberg told KNOE. The couple had just two weeks left to claim their prize - a jackpot that had to be claimed within 180 days of the drawing. "We kept checking the numbers again and again," Harold said. "Plus, I called the winning numbers hotline over and over." The couple received roughly $1.27 million after state and federal tax withholdings. They plan to put the money away for … [Read more...] about Louisiana couple finds winning $1.8M lottery ticket while cleaning house for Thanksgiving

Judges: Louisiana breast-and-buttocks law is clear enough
NEW ORLEANS — A federal appeals court panel has reversed itself and cleared the way for Louisiana to enforce its law setting a minimum age of 21 for exotic dancers in bars and nightclubs. In September, the panel had agreed the law was too vague regarding how much of a young dancer's breasts or buttocks must be covered. But the same three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Friday that the law is clear enough to pass constitutional muster. The abrupt reversal was a defeat for three would-be strippers who were 18, 19 and 20 when they challenged the law last year. … [Read more...] about Judges: Louisiana breast-and-buttocks law is clear enough
Ward sprains ankle as MSU rolls past Louisiana-Monroe
Matt Charboneau The Detroit News Published 10:27 PM EST Nov 14, 2018 East Lansing — Michigan State got a win on Wednesday night, but it appears it also got a little bit lucky. Cassius Winston scored 23 to lead the Spartans to an 80-59 victory over Louisiana-Monroe at Breslin Center, but junior big man Nick Ward suffered an injury to his right leg less than 8 minutes into the game. Ward was favoring his ankle as he hopped off the floor on his left leg straight to the locker room. Ward did not return to the bench the rest of the game but it appears the injury won't keep Ward out for a long period. After the game, an MSU spokesman said early indications were that the injury is not serious, and Ward’s status is day-to-day. "He just sprained his ankle," coach Tom Izzo confirmed. "I don't think it's anything serious. He was limping around in there a little bit. They haven't put a cast on him or anything. BOX SCORE: Michigan State 80, … [Read more...] about Ward sprains ankle as MSU rolls past Louisiana-Monroe
Ward suffers leg injury as MSU rolls past Louisiana-Monroe
Matt Charboneau The Detroit News Published 9:17 PM EST Nov 14, 2018 East Lansing – Michigan State got a win on Wednesday night, but it might have suffered a loss more significant than the victory. Cassius Winston scored 23 to lead the Spartans to an 80-59 victory over Louisiana-Monroe at Breslin Center, but junior big man Nick Ward suffered an injury to his right leg less than 8 minutes into the game. Ward appeared to be favoring his ankle as he hopped off the floor on his left leg straight to the locker room. Ward did not return to the bench the rest of the game. Afterward, an MSU spokesman said early indications were that the injury was not serious, and Ward’s status was day-to-day. With Ward out, it took some time, but once Michigan State got its offense rolling there was nothing that could stop it. Overcoming a slugging first half when the Spartans made just 2-of-19 from 3-point range, Winston sparked a second-half surge. He finished with 23, but it was his … [Read more...] about Ward suffers leg injury as MSU rolls past Louisiana-Monroe
