The winning numbers were 27, 32, 47, 50 and 53 with the Mega Ball 4 and the Megaplier 4x, according to the Mega Millions website. Nobody purchased a ticket that successfully matched all white numbers and the gold Mega Ball, meaning that the jackpot will go even higher for the next drawing on Tuesday. There was also no one who matched five numbers for the second biggest prize of $1 million on offer....
There was no winner of the Mega Millions jackpot which has now rolled over, pushing up the grand prize for Tuesday night’s draw to an estimated $101 million, with a cash option of $76.5 million. There was also no winner of the $1 million given to the lucky ticket holder who is able to match five numbers. There were 12 people who matched four numbers and the Mega Ball, earning them at least $10,000, and three of them managed to quadruple their winnings because they used the Megaplier, which was X4....
Mega Millions Winners Nobody matched five numbers and the Mega Ball to win the grand prize, so the jackpot on Friday night’s draw is an estimated $70 million with a cash value option of $52.4 million. Nobody matched five numbers either, so nobody won the $1 million prize. However, four people matched four balls and the Mega Ball and won $10,000 each and one of these players used the Megaplier to double their prize to $20,000....
Writing in the journal Science, researchers used centuries’ worth of data collected from tree rings in the southwestern states, from Oregon to New Mexico. Using tree rings, the scientists were able to deduce the moisture content in the soil and from that, what the climate was like in years where there are no reliable weather observations. Previous studies have involved similar techniques to link periods of extreme weather to social upheaval and unrest as far back as the pre-Hispanic Aztec era....
On Monday, the USWNT captain was photographed wearing tape on her right hamstring during practice, indicating she had been benched for medical reasons. When a U.S. official was reportedly asked if Rapinoe is healthy, the official said: “Jill [Ellis, the USWNT coach] will deal with that after the game.” CBS Sports reported Tuesday that the starting lineup would include Alyssa Naeher, Kelley O’Hara, Abby Dahlkemper, Becky Sauerbrunn, Crystal Dunn, Lindsey Horan, Julie Ertz, Rose Lavelle, Tobin Heath, Alex Morgan and Christen Press....
“I think people are asking the question how can we rally around this team… whether it is equal pay, or racial equality or LGBTQ rights,” Rapinoe said of the experience currently being in the spotlight with her fellow members of the U.S. Women’s National Team, which recently won its second consecutive — and fourth overall — World Cup championship. The fight for equal pay in women’s soccer has been going on since the team’s previous Cup win in 2015, and 28 women from the USWNT, including Rapinoe, have been leading the charge against the U....

The pitch is not known but the Daily Telegraph reported the project will likely focus on a charity or social justice cause close to their hearts....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s future as U.S. residents is becoming increasingly concrete with the purchase of their own house in the summer as well as Netflix and Spotify deals. Archie Mountbatten-Windsor has also now been a resident of California for longer than he was in the U.K., with coronavirus meaning it will likely be months before he sees the land of his birth again. He was born on May 6, 2019, and spent around six months at his parents’ Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage....
The Duchess of Sussex wore the jewelry to a state dinner during a royal tour of Fiji on October 23, 2018, and again at Buckingham Palace a few weeks later. Khashoggi was killed on October 2 and reports about his death began to appear around October 7. As early as October 9, The New York Times reported that Turkish officials were blaming the Saudi leadership for murdering Khashoggi, with the crown prince—known as MBS—one of those said to have denied the allegations....

The U.K. arm of Splash has already settled the case and gone into administration, while the U.S. branch has applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

A statement released to Newsweek said: “The Directors of Splash, the global content agency, confirm that on March 23, 2021, its U....

The damning interview has caused a media frenzy with the Duchess of Sussex receiving support from a number of high-profile celebrities as well as U.S. Twitter goading Brits as the U.K. wakes up to the news.

The Duchess of Sussex gave her first big interview about her burgeoning relationship with her future husband to Vanity Fair in September 2017, two months before they announced their engagement. Meghan told the magazine: “At the end of the day, I think it’s really simple. We’re two people who are really happy and in love.” However, biographer Tom Bower wrote in his new book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors that, despite being a “blatant puff piece,” the coverage sparked a major dispute because Meghan had been asked not to mention her then-boyfriend....
In Netflix’s recent Harry & Meghan docuseries, the Duchess of Sussex said she had to wear muted colors like beige, knowing other royals would dress more brightly. However, monarchy fans have found old photos where royal family members are dressed in the same color at events.

Thomas Markle made the comments in a new documentary, Thomas Markle: My Story, that aired Wednesday night on the U.K.’s Channel 5. He said: “This is one of the greatest long-living institutions ever. They’re destroying it. They’re keeping it… they’re making it shabby. They’re turning it into a Walmart with a crown on it now. It’s something that’s ridiculous. They shouldn’t be doing this.” Meghan and Harry and have agreed to step down as senior members of the royal family in a bid to live a more private life....
Images of the crossword were shared on Twitter, and a host of detractors also pointed out that the puzzle was published on the eve of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Former The View co-host McCain added her name to the list of critics on Monday, when she posted a screenshot of the puzzle on Twitter, writing: “On the first night of Hanukkah the anti-Israel New York Times issues a crossword puzzle that looks like a swastika....

And in her newly-released book, Bad Republican, the daughter of the late Senator John McCain has given a no-holds-barred assessment of some of the guests she sat down with during her stint as a panelist....
The Catholic Church has faced a number of unflattering headlines recently, most prominently for its record of handling sexual abuse cases. And The Passion of the Christ director Gibson, who was raised a Sedevacantist traditionalist Catholic, believes a clean-up behind the scenes would greatly help the image of the church. Sedevacantists believe that since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958 (or, in some cases, the death of Pope John XXIII in 1963) subsequent popes have been neither true Catholics nor true popes, but rather heretics because they espoused Modernism....
