Man throws away,recovers Lottery tickets worth $10,000
Multiple media outlets report that Cedric Jackson on Friday thought that
he had narrowly missed winning a $5,000 jackpot on two lottery tickets.
Jackson, who lives in Rome, Georgia, says he asked a convenience store
employee to throw the tickets away Saturday, but later that day realized
his tickets had in fact been winners. Jackson returned to the store.
After going through the store's trash can and dumpster in vain, Jackson left the store empty-handed.
It wasn't until later in the day that the employee, Ricky Singh,
remembered he had thrown the tickets into a trash can inside an inner
office.
Singh called Jackson to tell him he'd found the winning tickets.

Gwen Stefani ended her marriage after catching her husband on the phone with one of his former gay lovers?
“I spoke to him a couple weeks ago, ” Marilyn, born Peter Robinson, told Radar in an exclusive interview. “He called me.”
According to Marilyn, Rossdale unleashed an emotional hour-long monologue about how his former lover was responsible for the breakdown of his marriage to Stefani.
Marilyn claimed he ranted about, “the way everything is my fault” in an conversation that quickly became heated. “Because I did an interview [about the affair] … and everything from then on is all my fault.”
“And I’m listening to all this. He said ‘You’re getting all worked up,’ and I said ‘Out of two of us, who’s the one screaming?’ He went on and on.”
But eventually, “He did calm down and caught himself,” Marilyn said.
Rossdale initially denied his affair with Marilyn when he first came forward in 2009, but the Bush frontman admitted two years later that the couple had shared a sexual relationship in the early 1980s. That inability to accept his past, according to the pop star, doomed his marriage to Stefani.
“Gwen wants him to be something he’s not, and he wants to be something he’s not,” said Marilyn. “That’s my interpretation.”
“I’m very sad for all parties involved, mostly the children.”

Cost of President Buhari's trip to the US grossly exaggerated - Presidency
Our attention has been drawn to an editorial published in the Nigerian Pilot of August 2, 2015 and an earlier report in which the total cost of President Muhammadu Buhari's recent trip to the U.S. was estimated at N2.2 billion. It is very sad that in this age of free-flowing information and in this era of change, a media organisation would make itself available as a vehicle to peddle a lie of such low and ignominious quality.
Contrary to the newspaper's assertions, the total cost of the trip to the Nigerian taxpayer was at the most minimal, in line with the policy of this administration to cut waste and extravagance. In point of fact, the total amount expended on the trip by the Office of the Presidentamounted to nothing near ten per cent of the speculated figure.
Owing to the free accommodation provided by the host government, all the personal staff who accompanied the President on the trip received reduced allowances. His son, Yusuf, received neither allowances nor estacode. The five Governors on the trip each paid his own way. Permanent Secretaries who traveled on the delegation did so in accordance with extant rules and none of them exceeded their estacode entitlements. Apart from the Nigerian Pilot's mischievous mathematics, it is shortsighted and misleading of the newspaper to have claimed that President Buhari's trip to the U.S. achieved nothing. Nigerian-US relations had suffered severely over the past few years.
That relationship has now been reset. The benefits of this symbiotic relationship will become more and more evident as the Buhari administration continues to tackle the challenges of corruption, security and the economy. Some of the more immediate benefits of the President's trip to the U.S include: the proposed $2.1 billion fund from the World Bank for the re-development of the northeast battered by Boko Haram; $5 billion from US investors in Nigeria's agriculture sector; $1.5 billion investment in the Nigerian health sector; and another $5 billion investment from the U.S. in our country's power sector. Also, as things stand at the moment, the embargo on the sale of weapons sales to Nigeria is in the process of being removed.
The trip to the U.S by President Buhari was definitely very successful and beneficial to Nigeria. Only those rabidly determined to find faults unnecessarily will cook up falsehood in a futile effort to rake up murk where none exists. Garba Shehu Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity) August 5, 2015
