Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:04:09 GMT

A lottery scratcher sold in the Chinatown neighborhood of Los Angeles is one of several multimillion dollar scratchers sold in California in recent weeks.The scratcher, an "Instant Prize Crossword" game, was sold at Dragon Gate Inn at 818 N Hill St.The lucky winner was identified by California Lottery officials as Jay Inkhothavong. Inkhothavong won $2 million on the scratcher, the California Lottery said.News of Inkhothavong's win came as lottery fever sweeps across much of the nation as the Mega Millions Lottery exceeds $1.2 billion, and shortly after a $1.08 billion Powerball ticket was sold in Los Angeles.It's unclear when the winning ticket was purchased, as it can often take several weeks for the California Lottery to verify a win and winners don't always come forward as soon as they realize they've struck gold.

By Julie Watson and Lolita C. Baldor | Associated PressSAN DIEGO — Two U.S. Navy sailors were charged Thursday with providing sensitive military information to China — including details on wartime exercises, naval operations and critical technical material.The two sailors, both based in California, were charged with similar moves to provide sensitive intelligence to the Chinese. But they were separate cases, and it wasn’t clear if the two were courted or paid by the same Chinese intelligence officer as part of a larger scheme. Federal officials at a news conference in San Diego declined to specify whether the sailors were aware of each other’s actions.Both men pleaded not guilty in federal courts in San Diego and Los Angeles. They were ordered to be held until their detention hearings, which will take place Aug. 8 in those same cities.U.S. officials have for years expressed concern about the espionage threat they say the Chinese government poses, bringing criminal cases ...

Arizona in talks to join Big 12, AP source says. Arizona State deciding on possible move, too

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:04:09 GMT

Arizona is in talks to join the Big 12, a person with direct knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press, and a board of regents meeting Thursday night could determine whether Arizona State is ready to leave the Pac-12, too, and join the Wildcats.The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither the school nor the conference were prepared to finalize an invitation to the Wildcats.The person added that Arizona State was not as far along in the process, which could slow down Arizona’s final decision because the Tucson-based school would prefer to be in sync with its rivals from Tempe.The boards of regents for Arizona’s two biggest universities, along with the University of Washington, scheduled special meetings for Thursday night amid speculation that more Pac-12 schools could leave the flailing conference.The Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees Arizona and Arizona State, were holding a closed executive session to look at possible legal advice ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:04:09 GMT

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — He called it “Operation Take Over,” with a list that included a chilling reminder to go after women who wouldn’t be missed to avoid “any kind of an investigation,” according to the FBI.Accompanying the bullet-point notes was a sketch of an apparent dungeon, to be built with cinder blocks, foam insulation and waterproof concrete.Police found the legal pad with the notes in the southern Oregon home of a man who is now a suspect in sexual assaults around the country. Also in the home: a cinder block cell where police say the man, Negasi Zuberi, held a woman he had allegedly kidnapped in Seattle until she escaped by pounding at the door with bloodied hands.Court and police records show Zuberi, 29, had been on law enforcement’s radar before — for alleged offenses such as assaulting the mother of their children, punching someone in the face and being a bad tenant whose landlord sought to evict him. The FBI set up a website asking possible victims to come forward. The si...
