Waldorf lottery vet hits same numbers twice for $100K

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

WALDORF, Md. — A Maryland Lottery player from Waldorf hit the jackpot twice in the same night, winning two separate $50,000 prizes in the May 30 Bonus Match 5 drawing.

The longtime player, who asked to remain anonymous, matched all five numbers on two different tickets purchased for the same drawing. He claimed the first $50,000 prize on Wednesday, then returned to Lottery headquarters Thursday to claim the second, totaling $100,000 in winnings.

The winner said he discovered the first win while scanning his ticket at a store. He kept calm, left quietly, and went home to tell his wife the news. He realized later that a second ticket with the same numbers had also hit.

A regular Lottery participant for over 15 years, the player described himself as a veteran who consistently buys tickets throughout the state. While he’s had previous wins, he said this is by far his biggest.

Waldorf retailer rewarded for dual-ticket sale

Both winning tickets were sold at the 7-Eleven located at 3370 Middletown Road in Waldorf. The retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the pair of top-prize tickets.

Maryland man’s lucky numbers ride to big lottery payday

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

OCEAN CITY, Md. — A loyal Racetrax player finally cashed in on his longtime strategy, winning $30,946 after his go-to horses came through on a 20-draw ticket purchased at a local bar.

The Ocean City resident has played the Maryland Lottery’s virtual horse racing game since its launch in 2006. For years, he’s consistently bet on horses 10, 11, and 12 — a trifecta that finally paid off.

The win came during the third race on his ticket, which he purchased at the Cork Bar on Wicomico Street. He was watching the results live when he realized the 11 horse came in first, followed by 10 and 12. Because he boxed the trifecta, the order didn’t matter, allowing him to collect the full prize.

The man, who owns a business in Ocean City, said he plans to put the winnings directly into savings.

Cork Bar receives bonus for selling winning ticket

The Cork Bar, located at 3 Wicomico Street, will receive a $309.46 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the winning Racetrax ticket.

Penn Hills man charged after assault of woman and children outside Pittsburgh family court

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

PITTSBURGH, Pa. — A Penn Hills man is facing a dozen criminal charges after allegedly assaulting the mother of his children and the children themselves outside a family court building late Wednesday morning, according to the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities said 36-year-old Marlon McMillan had just left a Protection From Abuse (PFA) hearing at the Family Court Center when he began yelling at the woman and the two children while walking along Forbes Avenue.

According to the sheriff’s office, McMillan tried to convince the children to leave with him. As the mother and children attempted to cross Forbes Avenue to get away, McMillan struck the woman and one of the children. He then grabbed the second child by the neck.

Deputies responded shortly after the incident and were able to confirm the account through witness statements and video evidence, the sheriff’s office reported.

“McMillan was taken into custody and transported to the Allegheny County Jail for arraignment on a dozen charges including aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person and endangering the welfare of children,” the agency said in a statement posted to social media.

Investigation supported by witness accounts and video

The sheriff’s office has not disclosed the ages of the children involved or the extent of their injuries. No additional details were released about the nature of the PFA hearing or whether any protective order had been granted prior to the incident.

McMillan remains in custody at the Allegheny County Jail pending a preliminary hearing. His arraignment took place Wednesday evening.

The Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office is expected to review the case for further legal proceedings.

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Three juveniles were arrested Tuesday morning after a carjacking in Southeast D.C. ended with a swift recovery of the stolen vehicle and the detention of the suspects.

The incident unfolded at around 7:23 a.m. in the 1500 block of Butler Street SE. The victim told responding officers they were confronted by three juveniles who physically pulled them out of their vehicle, took the key fob, and drove off in the car.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Seventh District canvassed the surrounding area and quickly located the stolen vehicle. All three suspects were apprehended shortly after.

The individuals arrested include a 15-year-old male from Southeast D.C., and two others — a 16-year-old male and another 15-year-old male — both listed as having no fixed address. Each was charged with Unarmed Carjacking.

Carjacking case adds to rising concerns over juvenile crime

The investigation remains ongoing as police continue to review the circumstances surrounding the case. No injuries were reported.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at (202) 727-9099 or submit tips anonymously by texting 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department offers a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment.

Maryland woman’s scream heard after $77K lottery shock

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

ST. LEONARD, Md. — A Calvert County woman’s longtime lucky number delivered a windfall after she purchased a $10 Lucky 7s Multiplier scratch-off and uncovered a $77,777 top prize.

The Southern Maryland resident, a restaurant worker, claimed her prize on Wednesday after scratching the winning ticket at home weeks earlier. She purchased the ticket at Mom & Pop’s Store in St. Leonard while out running errands. She said she picked it “because seven has always been my favorite number.”

The woman told Lottery officials she initially thought the ticket had a misprint when she saw the full prize amount. After scanning it with the official Lottery app, she realized the win was legitimate and called for her family. Her husband and daughter rushed in, initially fearing something was wrong, before learning about the win.

The family plans to use the prize to fund a long-desired vacation with their extended family — a trip they said they could never afford to organize before now.

Ticket marks first top prize for new scratch-off game

The Lucky 7s Multiplier scratch-off launched last month and this ticket is the first to claim one of its ten top prizes. Nine $77,777 tickets remain unclaimed, along with 23 $10,000 winners and hundreds of thousands of smaller prizes between $10 and $1,000.

Mom & Pop’s Store, located at 3500 Williams Wharf Road, received a $777.77 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the top-prize ticket.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A 15-year-old boy was arrested Wednesday in connection with two separate thefts that took place in Northwest D.C., one dating back more than a year.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department, the first incident occurred on Saturday, April 26, at about 11:28 a.m. when several suspects entered a business in the 1000 block of F Street NW. The group stole merchandise and fled before officers arrived.

Following a months-long investigation, detectives secured a DC Superior Court Custody Order for one of the suspects involved. On Wednesday, members of the Criminal Apprehension Unit located and arrested the 15-year-old male, a resident of Northwest D.C.

In addition to the April 2024 theft, the juvenile was also charged in a second incident. That case took place on Wednesday, March 19, at approximately 10:20 p.m., in the 3200 block of M Street NW. He faces two charges of First-Degree Theft.

Investigation ongoing as search for other suspects continues

Police have not yet released additional details on the other suspects from either case. The investigation remains active.

Anyone with information about these incidents is urged to contact police at (202) 727-9099 or send a text tip to the Department’s TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and indictment of those responsible for crimes in the District.

Ocean County commissioner to demolish popular South Seaside Park oceanfront restaurant to build custom homes

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

SOUTH SEASIDE PARK, N.J. — Chef Mike Jurusz, longtime operator of the Atlantic Bar & Grill, announced this week that the popular waterfront restaurant will shut its doors at the end of the summer, following the sale of the property to a developer planning to build custom homes.

“Our property was sold to a developer who is going to knock it down and make 12 custom homes,” Jurusz said in a video message shared with patrons. “This is going to be our last summer here.”

The new owner of the property is Arya Properties, owned by Ocean County Commissioner Frank Sadeghi.

Jurusz said the lease for the Atlantic Bar & Grill, which includes the adjacent motel, officially runs through December 31. However, the restaurant will continue operating through the summer, with the new owners agreeing to allow the business to vacate early if a new location is secured before then.

The chef called the announcement “heartbreaking” and reflected on more than two decades of memories made at the venue, from weddings and fundraisers to wine tastings and birthdays.

“It’s very hard out there to find a new property,” he added, noting that he’s been searching for a suitable location for the last few years. “We need something with a liquor license, something that is turnkey and something that is in a good financial area.”

Final summer season underway

Jurusz said a new summer menu is coming soon and the Tiki bar will be open seven days a week with daily entertainment.

“Every day now moving forward is our last day that will ever exist here,” he said, urging customers to visit and make final memories before the doors close for good.

The Atlantic Bar & Grill has been a staple in South Seaside Park for 24 years. Jurusz recalled the early days of the restaurant, saying he built the business “out of nothing” and sacrificed time with his family in pursuit of success. “I dedicated my life to it. I didn’t see my son. I didn’t see my family. I was just here,” he said.

Despite the upcoming closure, Jurusz expressed gratitude for the support of the community and said he remains determined to reopen elsewhere. “We have been looking at 30 or 40 properties… It’s been hard,” he said. “But we want to continue this program.”

In an emotional moment, he paraphrased lyrics from Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead or Alive: “I’ve seen 10 million people and I cooked for them all.”

Jersey numbers game spins out $1.7 million windfall

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

TRENTON, N.J. — A month-long Green Ball promotion tied to the Pick-3 game added over $1.7 million in extra winnings for New Jersey Lottery players, the organization announced Wednesday.

Running from May 5 through Sunday, the Green Ball feature gave Pick-3 ticket holders added chances at winning when an extra ball was drawn following the nightly drawing. A second machine contained six white balls and one green ball. If the green ball appeared, a free second Pick-3 drawing was triggered using the same numbers as the initial play.

During the promotion period, six Green Balls were drawn, leading to six bonus drawings. Those extra chances produced 15,515 additional winning tickets totaling $1,738,120 in bonus prize payouts.

The Green Ball concept marked Pick-3’s first major promotional change in over 10 years. According to lottery officials, the structure allowed for increased player engagement without modifying the standard gameplay or odds.

A new version of the promotion is likely to return in the near future, according to the Lottery.

Background on the Lottery

The New Jersey Lottery has contributed nearly $33.7 billion to state programs since it was established in 1970. Under current law, profits from ticket sales support the public employee pension system through a 30-year agreement enacted in 2017.

Pick-3 players collected more than one million dollars in bonus prizes from a month of lucky Green Ball draws.

Alleged NJEA Teacher Parks Car with Call for Assassination of Trump at Middletown South Parking Lot

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

MIDDLETOWN, N.J. — A controversial bumper sticker referencing a coded message calling for harm to President Donald Trump was photographed on a vehicle in the staff parking lot of Middletown South High School, drawing criticism from local and state officials.

Monica Paige, White House correspondent for Frontline, tweeted a photo of a bumper sticker displaying the numbers “8647” on what she identified as a New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) member’s vehicle. The numbers are widely interpreted to mean “kill Trump,” with “86” being slang for “get rid of” and “47” referring to Trump as the 47th president.

Very alarming and concerning that a staff member at Middletown High School South in @MiddletownNJ is advocating for the assassination of President Trump with an “86 47” bumper sticker on this car.@Frank_Cap1_BOE @FBIDirectorKash @FBIDDBongino @FBI pic.twitter.com/ZNh69hpiRQ

— MONICA PAIGE✰TPUSA (@MonicaPaigeTV) June 4, 2025

Paige’s post tagged Middletown Board of Education President Frank Capone, as well as the FBI, including Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. The sticker’s appearance on school property has led to calls for investigation and accountability.

“It is deeply disturbing for anyone to wish harm or death upon another person, including the President of the United States,” said Capone. “There is no place in our school community for such thoughts or rhetoric, and I am deeply troubled and concerned that those entrusted to educate our students would promote such hate.”

Assemblywoman Vicky Flynn, who represents Middletown and formerly served as Holmdel Board of Education president, also condemned the message. “There is no place in our public schools for staff displaying messages that glorify violence or hate,” Flynn said.

School officials under pressure to act

Flynn added that the sticker’s presence on school property demands a formal response. “Students must be shielded from this kind of demented behavior. I expect a full investigation and appropriate action to be taken,” she said.

The phrase “8647” gained notoriety after former FBI Director James Comey used it in a post, which drew widespread backlash for its perceived implication. That controversy has since resurfaced with renewed attention in New Jersey.

As of Wednesday, the identity of the vehicle owner has not been publicly confirmed. It remains unclear whether Middletown Township Public Schools have taken disciplinary action or contacted law enforcement regarding the matter.

The FBI has not issued a public statement in response to Paige’s tweet, and it is unknown if an official federal inquiry has been opened. The NJEA has not commented on the incident.

The sticker’s appearance on school grounds has intensified scrutiny over political messaging by public employees and reignited debate on professional conduct within school systems.

One hit, one cuffed as D.C. Metro shootout erupts

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A man was wounded and one suspect arrested following a daytime shooting near the busy Waterfront Metro station in Southwest D.C. on Monday.

Just after 1:20 p.m., gunshots erupted near the 1100 block of 4th Street SW. Responding First District officers found an adult male victim with a graze wound. He was conscious and breathing when emergency crews arrived and transported him to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Investigators say two individuals began firing near the Metro station before fleeing the scene. The man who was injured is not believed to have been involved in the incident.

Police detained a suspect shortly after the shooting and recovered a firearm. The suspect was identified as 25-year-old Daquan Toland of Northwest D.C. He has been charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Gun).

Two suspects still at large

Authorities are still searching for two additional suspects in connection with the shooting. Surveillance images of the individuals have been released to the public.

The investigation remains active as law enforcement continues to track the remaining suspects.

Longtime New Jersey lottery retailer lands first major win with $5.9 million ticket

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

ROSELAND, N.J. — A Roseland gas station that has sold New Jersey Lottery tickets for three decades has finally handed out its first major jackpot-winning ticket.

The Eisenhower Exxon, located at the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue and Eisenhower Parkway, sold a winning Pick-6 ticket worth $5.9 million on May 22. The winning numbers were 20, 21, 30, 31, 42, and 44. It marks the store’s first major prize winner since receiving its lottery license in May 1995.

“Thirty years and we finally got one,” said Jack Atmeh, who co-owns the gas station with longtime business partner Robert Wakile. “Now, we can say we’re a lucky store.”

The prize has not yet been claimed by the ticket holder. However, the sale guarantees the retailer a $10,000 bonus payout from the New Jersey Lottery, part of the state’s retailer incentive program. Last year, more than $214 million was paid to nearly 6,800 retailers across the state in commissions and bonuses.

“This is the best part of my job: I get to celebrate with players on their best days, but I also get to meet and celebrate with our partner retailers,” said Lottery Deputy Director Marc Marseglia.

History of the game and recent wins

The Pick-6 jackpot has surpassed the $40 million mark only a few times since its inception. The largest prize awarded was $48.9 million in Clifton in 2001. More recently, on March 28, 2024, two tickets split a $30 million prize in Morris and Monmouth counties.

Additional significant wins in the past year include a $4.5 million ticket sold in Morris County on May 13 and a $3 million winner in Burlington County on June 13.

The current jackpot stands at $2.3 million going into Thursday night’s drawing.

The long wait ends in Roseland as Eisenhower Exxon cashes in on a three-decade lottery dry spell.

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

HOWELL, N.J. — A major law enforcement operation unfolded Thursday morning in Howell Township, resulting in two arrests, including a man seen holding a baby, according to officials.

Authorities from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Bureau, Monmouth County Emergency Response Team, and Howell Township Police conducted simultaneous investigations in two separate areas—Southport Drive near Chestnut Hill Road in the Candlewood section, and White Street. Officials confirmed the incidents appear to be related.

No details have yet been released about the nature of the investigation or the identities of those taken into custody. However, the sighting of one suspect holding an infant during the arrest drew public attention as law enforcement swarmed the residential neighborhood.

“There is no threat to public safety,” Howell Township Police and Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago said in a joint advisory. Authorities asked residents and motorists to avoid both active scenes as the investigation continues.

Law enforcement has not disclosed what prompted the operation or what charges, if any, the two individuals face.

Officials urge cooperation as inquiry continues

Police are expected to provide further information as the situation develops. Howell Township Police have stated updates will be issued via official social media channels.

As of Thursday afternoon, both locations remained under active investigation, though no lockdowns or shelter-in-place orders were issued for the surrounding community.

Phil Murphy Wants to Tax the Fun Right Out of New Jersey, Literally

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

If taxing fun is your main concern, then New Jersey isn’t the state for you.

TRENTON, N.J. — Governor Phil Murphy is facing renewed opposition from Republican lawmakers over a proposal in his latest state budget that would impose sales taxes on a variety of recreational and participatory sports activities currently exempt under New Jersey law.

The proposal, part of the administration’s broader Participatory Sports initiative, would eliminate the existing sales tax exemption for patrons engaged in certain leisure activities, potentially raising costs for families across the state. The change would apply to activities such as bowling, mini golf, laser tag, skating, and more.

“Democrats are trying to tax fun and destroy what little enjoyment people have left,” said Senator Declan O’Scanlon (R-13), a vocal critic of the plan. He labeled the measure a “cash grab” and blamed what he called the Murphy administration’s “spending addiction.”

Under the proposed changes, patrons would begin paying sales tax on 13 popular activities, including go-kart rides, tennis court fees, golf driving ranges, swimming pool access, and paintball. These activities are currently exempt under state law.

Murphy’s office has not released detailed justifications for the inclusion of the tax changes, and Democratic lawmakers have yet to issue a formal response to the criticism. The governor’s full budget proposal is still under legislative review.

Recreational businesses could be impacted

If enacted, the measure could also affect small businesses that operate in the recreational sector, which may have to adjust pricing or operations to accommodate the new tax structure. It remains unclear when the proposed taxes would take effect or how much revenue they are projected to generate.

Republicans say the proposal unfairly targets everyday leisure enjoyed by working families and could discourage participation in youth sports and community activities.

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Authorities are investigating a suspected murder-suicide after police discovered the bodies of two adults and a child inside a residence on Henry Street early Thursday morning.

According to Mercer County Prosecutor Janetta D. Marbrey, Hamilton police responded to a 911 call just before 4 a.m. and arrived at a home on the 200 block of Henry Street, where they found a man, a woman, and a 10-year-old girl with gunshot wounds. All three were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police have not stated whether any prior domestic incidents were reported at the residence or if there were any witnesses to the incident.

Investigation continues as officials withhold identities

Autopsies will be conducted by the county medical examiner to confirm the official cause and manner of death for each individual. Authorities said updates will be provided once next of kin are notified and the investigation progresses.

Officials are urging anyone with information related to the incident to contact the Mercer County Homicide Task Force.

A man, woman, and child were found dead in a Hamilton home in what officials believe was a domestic murder-suicide.

By: Breaking Local News Report

EVESHAM, N.J. — Authorities are investigating two separate incidents of lewdness at a Marshalls retail store in Evesham Township after a man reportedly exposed himself to multiple customers, including a juvenile.

According to a press release issued by the Evesham Police Department on Thursday, officers responded to the store located at 704 Route 73 South around 4:00 p.m. on Monday after receiving a report of a past-tense lewdness complaint. The incident in question occurred earlier that same day, around 2:00 p.m.

Store employees told police that a male suspect entered the store and exposed his genitals to several patrons. Investigators also learned that the same individual is believed to have committed a similar act at the same location approximately one week prior, during which he also exposed himself to a juvenile.

Witnesses described the suspect as an African American male in his early twenties with short hair. This description was supported by video surveillance footage that captured the man entering the store during both alleged incidents.

Investigation ongoing with surveillance footage in review

Evesham Police are currently reviewing store surveillance footage to assist in identifying the suspect. No arrests have been made as of Thursday morning, and the investigation remains active.

Anyone with information related to the incidents is urged to contact the Evesham Police Department at (856) 983-1116 or through the department’s website at www.eveshampd.org.

Officials have not released further details on whether the suspect is believed to be local or connected to any similar incidents in the region.

The Evesham Police Department has not released surveillance images to the public at this time, but stated that updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

Police are investigating two reported indecent exposure incidents at the same Marshalls location within one week.

Two 18-year-olds charged with murder after burned body found in Davidsonville parking lot

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

DAVIDSONVILLE, Md. — Two teenagers have been arrested and charged with murder after a man’s body was discovered in a burning vehicle last month outside a commercial business in Anne Arundel County.

Police say 18-year-old Jonah Michael Poole, of Davidsonville, and 18-year-old Kylee Alyssa Dakes, of Harwood, were taken into custody on May 31 in connection with the homicide of 67-year-old Edward Stephen Koza, of Annapolis. Koza’s body was found inside a vehicle fully engulfed in flames on May 24 in the parking lot of a business located at 600 West Central Avenue.

Emergency crews responding to the scene around 9:25 p.m. extinguished the fire and discovered human remains in the passenger compartment. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later identified the remains as Koza and ruled his death a homicide. The cause of death is still pending.

Anne Arundel County Police detectives said they worked “tirelessly” over the following week to identify suspects. Investigative leads led to Poole and Dakes, who were arrested without incident in the unit block of Bethel Lane in Harwood.

Both suspects are charged with first- and second-degree murder, assault, conspiracy to commit murder, and arson.

Victim identified as 67-year-old Annapolis man

Authorities confirmed on June 2 that the victim was Edward Stephen Koza, a 67-year-old resident of Annapolis. No motive has been disclosed, and police say the investigation is still active.

The fire and explosives investigations unit responded initially to determine the origin of the vehicle fire, while homicide detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division took over the suspicious death case.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Anne Arundel County Police at 410-222-4731 or leave anonymous tips through Metro Crime Stoppers.

WALDORF, Md. — A Maryland couple is demanding answers after claiming the body of their 2-month-old son — who was supposed to have been cremated months ago — was instead discovered inside the private residence of two crematory operators now under criminal investigation.

Laquanda Brown and Chris Parham said they were shocked to learn their infant son, Coi’seir Parham, had not been cremated as promised. “We’re like … why was he in their home?” Brown told local FOX affiliate WTTG. “Like, what were they trying to do? Like, what were they doing?”

The couple had entrusted Heaven Bound Crematory in Charles County to handle their son’s remains after his death in October. They are now suing the crematory’s operators, Rosa Turner and Brandon Williams, for allegedly mishandling the body and providing the family with incorrect ashes.

State officials sanctioned the crematory last year after finding human remains stored in cardboard boxes and observing other violations. The facility has since been shut down. Despite this, Brown and Parham said they only learned in February that their son had not been cremated.

Parents given wrong ashes before discovery

Two weeks ago, the couple received what they were told were Coi’seir’s ashes. But shortly afterward, they were informed that his body had been located inside the home of Turner and Williams, not the crematory itself, according to WTTG.

Authorities have not confirmed when or how the body was discovered in the residence. A criminal investigation into the incident is now underway.

Neither Turner nor Williams has publicly responded to the allegations. Charges have not yet been filed.

The case has prompted new scrutiny of private crematories in Maryland, especially those previously cited for improper handling of human remains.

Maryland couple says crematory gave them wrong ashes and kept their son’s body hidden in a private home.

By: Breaking Local News Report

CATONSVILLE, Md. — For the second time this week, Maryland Lottery officials have confirmed a $1 million Powerball ticket sold in the state, with the latest winning ticket purchased at the Soda Pop Shop in Catonsville.

The winning ticket matched five of the six numbers drawn on Wednesday night, securing the second-tier prize. The winning numbers for the June 4 drawing were 5, 17, 23, 35, 45 and Powerball 24. The Soda Pop Shop, located at 1026 Ingleside Avenue, will receive a $2,500 retailer bonus for selling the ticket.

A second prize-winning ticket, worth $50,000, was also sold for the same drawing. That third-tier ticket was purchased at Woodlawn Mart, 1818 Woodlawn Drive in Woodlawn, according to Maryland Lottery officials.

The Lottery has reminded players to sign the back of their winning tickets and keep them in a secure location. Winners have 182 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.

To claim prizes over $25,000, players must visit the Maryland Lottery headquarters, located at 1800 Washington Blvd., Suite 330, in the Montgomery Park Business Center in Baltimore. An appointment is required, and no walk-ins are accepted.

Second million-dollar win this week

Wednesday’s win marks the second $1 million Powerball ticket sold in Maryland this week. The previous winner was from the June 2 drawing and was purchased at the Safeway at 8858 Waltham Woods Road in Parkville. That prize has not yet been claimed.

“Instructions for claiming prizes are available on the How to Claim page of the Lottery website,” the agency said in a statement.

Retailers benefit from selling winning tickets, with both the Catonsville and Woodlawn businesses receiving bonuses from the Lottery.

Maryland joins a growing list of states reporting multiple high-tier Powerball wins this month, as the nationwide game continues to draw interest with large jackpots and frequent payouts.

The Maryland Lottery has not released any information on the identity of the winners. All claims must be completed by the end of the 182-day period.

No New Construction – Toms River Mayor Rodrick Announces Successful Compliance Affordable Housing Obligation Without Additional Development.

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report


TOMS RIVER, NJ – Mayor Daniel Rodrick is pleased to announce that Toms River will meet its fourth round of the state’s affordable housing obligation without committing to any additional development projects. This achievement is a testament to the responsible planning and dedication of our administration.

In a prior round, the previous administration committed to 1,285 affordable housing units, which resulted in the construction of an estimated 6,425 new units. This time, we are determined to avoid unnecessary strains on our community and have secured commitments that align with our long-term vision for Toms River.

Our administration has effectively negotiated memorandums of understanding, extending deed restrictions on 447 existing affordable housing units for an additional 20 to 30 years, depending on the specific development. This ensures that the affordable housing stock remains available while simultaneously allowing the Township to prevent the construction of an additional 2,410 units that would have been necessary under traditional development ratios of 20% affordable housing.

Furthermore, recent court decisions have clarified that municipalities of our size are not required to construct more than 1,000 units in a particular round. Given that Toms River built over 1,250 units in the last round, we are pleased to move those credits forward in our plan.

“Had we opted for the traditional method of fulfilling this obligation through a 20% affordable to 80% market-rate housing ratio, the 670 units of affordable housing would have led to the construction of an astronomical 3,350 additional units. Our proactive approach protects the character of our beloved Township, while simultaneously ensuring that these units stay affordable,” Rodrick said. “Additionally, we are actively engaged in discussions with two other property owners and are reasonably confident that we will reach agreements soon to extend deed restrictions on 30 more units, further enhancing our commitment to maintaining affordable housing in Toms River without committing to the destruction of our beloved pinelands and open spaces.”

Mayor Rodrick stated, “I am proud of the strides we have made in addressing affordable housing requirements while also safeguarding our community’s future.Toms River residents do not want to live in a city of high-rise apartments. Our creative approach ensures that we meet our obligations responsibly without compromising quality of life for our residents.”

Pride Month is No Time to Celebrate as Massive New Jersey Energy Hikes Affect Everyone Equally

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

New Jersey finally has some true equity and and equality. A massive energy rate hike is affecting all residents the same, no matter what their religion, race, gender, sexual preference or political party they are affiliated with.

June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate diversity, inclusion, and the progress made toward equality. Governor Phil Murphy has joined in these celebrations, highlighting New Jersey’s commitment to supporting its LGBTQ+ community. But for many residents, the festive spirit is overshadowed by a harsh reality: a 20% energy price hike that took effect on June 1, hitting households and businesses hard.

While pride in identity is worth celebrating, there’s little pride to be found because the rate hike hits you the same whether you are straight, gay, trans, and even non-binary.

The timing couldn’t be worse. As families gather for Pride parades and summer events, they’re also opening utility bills that strain already tight budgets.

The average New Jersey household now faces an additional $30-$40 per month in energy costs, according to estimates from the state’s Board of Public Utilities.

For small businesses, the impact is even more severe, with some owners reporting increases of hundreds of dollars monthly. This isn’t just a number on a bill—it’s fewer groceries, delayed medical care, or scaled-back summer plans for families across the state.

Governor Murphy’s administration has pointed to global energy market pressures and the state’s ambitious clean energy goals as drivers of the increase.

His opposition cites the governor’s ‘all-or-nothing’ reliance on the future of offshore wind energy, which has so far cost hundreds of millions of dollars and has not produced a single watt of electricity.

Transitioning to renewables is critical, as Murphy continues New Jersey’s goal to achieve 100% clean energy by 2035.

But the burden of this transition cannot fall disproportionately on working-class families and small businesses already grappling with inflation and economic uncertainty. Where is the plan to shield vulnerable residents from these spikes? Where is the transparency about how these costs are calculated and passed on?

Where is the short term plan to increase energy production for New Jersey?

The governor’s focus on Pride Month, while symbolically important, feels tone-deaf when juxtaposed with this economic gut punch.

Leadership demands balancing progressive ideals with practical solutions. If New Jersey is to be a state that truly champions all its residents, it must prioritize affordability alongside inclusivity. Why not offer immediate relief, such as temporary subsidies for low-income households or tax credits for small businesses? Why not accelerate investments in energy efficiency programs to reduce demand and soften the blow of rising rates?

Why not push for nuclear and natural gas solutions instead pivoting to solar energy, another energy source that won’t get us to where we need to be in the near future.

Delaware teens busted after armed scare at shopping center

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

WILMINGTON, DE — Delaware State Police arrested two teenage boys on multiple felony charges following a Monday morning incident involving a weapon at the Miller Road Shopping Center.

The incident occurred around 11:00 a.m. on June 2, when troopers responded to a report of suspects chasing a group of teenagers with a firearm outside the Dollar Tree located at 3602 Miller Road.

Investigators say a group of teens walking toward the store was approached by two acquaintances, later identified as a 16-year-old and a 15-year-old, both from New Castle. The 16-year-old suspect allegedly pointed a black and silver firearm at the victims, who ran into the store for safety while the suspects pursued them briefly before fleeing behind the shopping center.

With assistance from Wilmington Police Department officers, troopers located the suspects nearby and took them into custody without incident. A search revealed a black and silver airsoft gun resembling a Glock handgun, and a kitchen knife found in the 15-year-old’s backpack.

Both teens were transported to Troop 1, where they were formally charged.

Suspects held on felony charges following altercation

The 16-year-old was charged with three counts of aggravated menacing, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, and second-degree conspiracy. He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 11 and committed to New Castle County Detention Center on $36,000 cash bond.

At the station, the 15-year-old suspect became combative and refused to comply with commands, according to police. He was charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, second-degree conspiracy, and resisting arrest. He was also arraigned and held on $24,500 cash bond.

No injuries were reported, and the victims have not been publicly identified.

Lucky number 4-4-4-4 delivers massive haul for Virginia players

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

RICHMOND, VA — Virginia Lottery players struck it big Tuesday night when the rare and popular combination 4-4-4-4 hit in the Pick 4 game, resulting in a massive $7.9 million payout.

The June 3 night drawing brought a windfall for thousands of players who collectively wagered $438,939 on the winning combination. The payout amounted to 18 times the revenue collected for that drawing, according to the Virginia Lottery.

Quadruple-digit numbers like 4-4-4-4 are among the most heavily played combinations in the Pick 4 game. A $1 exact-order ticket nets a $5,000 prize, making such drawings particularly lucrative when repeating digits hit.

Pick 4 drawings are conducted twice daily — at 1:59 p.m. and 11 p.m. — with odds of 1 in 10,000 to match all four numbers in the correct order.

Virginia Lottery officials did not release the number of winning tickets sold, but based on the payout figures, more than 1,500 players likely hit the jackpot with exact-order bets.

Lottery sees rare payout surge as players cash in

The surge in winnings came from more than 5,300 licensed retailers statewide and digital platforms like the Virginia Lottery app and website, which all offer access to the daily game.

While Pick 4 is a fixed-prize game, the volume of bets on certain combinations can lead to significant payout spikes when popular numbers hit.

The Virginia Lottery uses its proceeds to support public K-12 education. In Fiscal Year 2024, the Lottery contributed over $934 million to schools across the Commonwealth, comprising about 10 percent of the state’s K-12 education funding.

Guitars Recovered, Suspect Arrested After Theft from Band at New Jersey Heart Concert

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A Pleasantville man has been arrested in connection with the theft of musical instruments belonging to members of the rock band Heart following a concert at Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena last week, police said.

According to the Atlantic City Police Department, officers responded to the Hard Rock Atlantic City on May 30 after receiving a report that a guitar and mandolin had been stolen from inside the venue. The instruments belonged to Heart band members, who were performing at the time.

An investigation by Sergeant Gary Holmes and Detective Lisa Kaplin-Caldwell led to surveillance video identifying the suspect as 57-year-old Garfield Bennett. Investigators tracked Bennett as he moved through parts of Atlantic City attempting to sell the stolen instruments.

Detective Kaplin-Caldwell filed criminal charges against Bennett on June 4. Later that day, Officers Alex Torres and Glen Robinson located and arrested him on the first block of South Kentucky Avenue.

Police said Bennett successfully sold one of the stolen instruments. The location of the second remains unknown. Authorities have urged anyone in possession of the items to voluntarily surrender them to avoid criminal charges.

Charges filed; investigation ongoing

Bennett has been charged with burglary and theft and was remanded to the Atlantic County Justice Facility. Hard Rock Atlantic City’s security team assisted detectives during the investigation.

“These charges are merely an accusation and not proof of guilt,” the department noted. “In all criminal cases, a charged defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”

The Atlantic City Police Department is continuing to investigate and is asking anyone with information to contact the Criminal Investigations Section or submit a tip anonymously via text.
