ReutersJanuary 26, 20240

By Ellen Zhang and Ryan Woo BEIJING (Reuters) – Many provinces in China including the financial hub of Shanghai have set modest 2024 economic growth targets after missing their previous goals, in a sign that a nationwide recovery to pre-pandemic levels would yet again prove elusive this year.

But on a more local level, at least 15 out of 31 provincial economies missed their 2023 targets.

Hagerstown Woman Wins $50,000 Powerball Prize Using Previous Non-Winning Numbers

Jessica WoodsOctober 16, 20230

HAGESTROWN, MD – A Hagerstown resident took an unconventional approach to selecting Powerball numbers, leading to a $50,000 win. The 52-year-old woman reused numbers from a previous non-winning ticket for the October 11 drawing, a decision that ultimately paid off. On October 7, the woman initially bought a three-line Powerball ticket using the quick-pick method, which did not yield any matching numbers. Rather than feeling disheartened, she opted to give those same numbers another try for the subsequent draw. “I didn’t get a single number so I went to the store and asked for the exact same ticket,” she said.
