Florida Has Three New Lottery Millionaires, Jackpot Now $1.35
Several Floridans are new millionaires this morning.
For most of us, a billion dollars is kinda hard to wrap our heads around. To put things into perspective, a million dollars in $100 bills weighs about 22 pounds, while a billion dollars weighs about 22,046 pounds.
First of all, nobody won the big prize. The ultra-mega-monster-giga-xxxl-mac daddy mother of a jackpot has now risen to $1.35 billion dollars, but will almost positively rise as time passes. In the middle of the madness, 13 people across America won smaller prizes (still at least 1 million dollars each). Several of those winners are Floridians. Make sure you check your numbers today, because you may be getting to know your local Ferrari dealer soon! You could also invest in eggs, but a bright red babe-magnet would be far more fun…with less cholesterol. The winning Mega Millions numbers from last night are 7, 13, 14, 15, 18 and the Mega Ball was 9.
According to the lottery website, the current jackpot is now the 4th largest ever and will still be worth $576.8 million dollars even if you choose the cash option. For the record, if you win, you’ll need a truck…a big truck. That much cash weighs 12,672 pounds if you take it all in $100 bills. If a winner is determined on Saturday, it will be the first big winner since October. In the meantime, go to your lottery retailer and see if you won a million dollars or even $3 million dollars!

Golden Globes Winners Last Night
Golden Globes 2023 Winner's List
The 2023 Golden Globe Awards takes place live on NBC and Peacock Tuesday (January 10) night at 8 p.m. ET. It is one of the few awards ceremonies to recognize both motion picture and television achievements. As we’ve previously reported, NBC canceled the 2022 telecast amid an ethics, finance and diversity scandal involving the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization that bestows the awards. Citing extensive HFPA reforms in September, NBC agreed to return the ceremony to its air for an 80th installment — under a one-year trial, the New York Times reports.
“We recognize the HFPA’s commitment to ongoing change and look forward to welcoming back the Golden Globes to NBC for its landmark 80th Anniversary in January 2023,” said Frances Berwick, Chairman, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. Helen Hoehne, President of the HFPA added, “The HFPA remains committed to important changes and supporting programs that prioritize diversity, inclusion, and transparency.”
The HFPA previously announced the introduction of 103 new voters to its ranks, marking the first time international-based voters have been added to the voting pool. This diverse voting body is now represented by 62 different countries around the world. Combined with the current HFPA membership, the total Golden Globe Awards voting body is now 52% female, 51.5% racially and ethnically diverse, with 19.5% Latinx, 12% Asian, 10% Black and 10% Middle Eastern.
Eddie Murphy has been confirmed to receive one of the night’s highest honors, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, given as a way to honor “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment,” per the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The selection is made by the HFPA’s board of directors. Murphy, 61, is a six-time Golden Globe nominee, winning one trophy in 2007 for his critically acclaimed role in Dreamgirls. He was nomimated for 48 Hrs., Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, The Nutty Professor and Dolemite Is My Name. Presenters include Jenna Ortega, Jennifer Hudson, Claire Danes, Cole Hauser, Harvey Guillén, Henry Golding, Hilary Swank, Glen Powell, Jay Ellis, Jennifer Coolidge, Letitia Wright, Mo Brings Plenty, Regina Hall, Salma Hayek Pinault, Billy Porter, Niecy Nash-Betts, Quentin Tarantino, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tracy Morgan, Ana De Armas, Ana Gasteyer, Colman Domingo, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Natasha Lyonne and Nicole Byer. Jerrod Carmichael is hosting the ceremony.
Below is a list of the winners of the 2023 Golden Globes (We will be updating this list throughout the night):
The Best Mocktails In Tampa
Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny.
That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards.
After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind.
He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex.
He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
