Lotto craze has people lining up for a chance to win

The National Lottery ‘Lotto’ draw results from Wednesday 6th January 2016

BAKERSFIELD, Calif.

Hopeful millionaires everywhere are plopping down big bucks in hopes of cashing in big.

The odds of winning the $900 million Powerball jackpot are infinitely small, but that hasn"t stopped people from buying tickets for their chance at striking it rich.

Owner of Vests Market Harry Dindral said he usually sells about $20 worth of Powerball tickets on any given day. Today he"s sold about $500 worth.

"Just in the span of these last two minutes, I"ve had about ten people just buy a ticket," Dindral said.

All over town, the $900 million jackpot has seduced people who don"t usually play, into buy lotto tickets including Vests Market customer Moses Perez.

"I just seen the craze," Perez said. "I seen everybody standing in line here at Vests Market. And I just jumped in the line and said, "What"s going on?" They said Powerball, so I was like alright."

Linda Flores has never bought a lottery ticket, but bought $20 worth of tickets at Downtown Deli Mart today.

"I probably have better odds of being struck by lightning, but that"s OK," Flores said.

Lotto fever is also in the air at an unlikely place.

Employees at The Mint bar on 19th Street say Powerball tickets made up more than half of their sales this morning.

"Today it"s just been people coming in for tickets, people I haven"t even seen before," said Mint employee Rome Kobel.

But hopeful millionaire Jesse Bustamente said, there"s one surefire way to increase your odds of winning. Buy a ticket.

"You can"t win if you don"t play," said Bustamante. "It"s that simple. If you don"t play, the odds are you"re not going to win at all."

The store that sells the winning ticket will get the maximum payout of $1 million

Just a reminder, the odds of winning the $900 million Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million.

2016 NFL Schedule: Regular-Season Opponents for All 32 Teams Revealed

Arnold Schwarzenegger has a message for J.J. Watt and the Texans | NFL

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

Just one day after the end of the 2015 regular season, the NFLannounced the opponents for all 32 teams for the upcoming 2016 season Monday.

Kickoff is 247 days awaybut who"s counting?with a Thursday night matchup set for Sept. 8. Teams will play schedules centered around their division and order of finish, but here"s a look at what the NFL uses to determine a team"smatchups, perJohnBreechofCBS Sports:

Home and away against its three division opponents (six games).
The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (four games).
The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (four games).
Two intraconference games based on the prior year"s standings (two games). These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions that the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.
Beginning in 2010, a change was made to how teams are paired in the schedule rotation to ensure that teams playing the AFC and NFC West divisions would not be required to make two West Coast trips (e.g., at San Francisco and at Seattle), while other teams in their division had none (e.g., at St. Louis and at Arizona).

There are some mainstays on the schedule such as division opponents and the seemingly annual Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers clash,but there are a few games that might pique your interest that don"t take place often.

It"s the AFC East"s turn to play the NFC West, which means we get a rematch of Super BowlXLIX,which saw the New England Patriots edge Seattle, at Gillette Stadium.The Patriots will also play the NFC No. 2 seed Arizona Cardinals on the road in what should be a great matchup.

The 15-1 Carolina Panthers will play six teams that are in the playoffs this year, including the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle and Arizona.

Although it"s been a disastrous 4-12 season for the Dallas Cowboys, Breech pointed out they will have at least six games against teams with new head coaches in the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers.

Other storylines include an NFC Wild Card Round rematch between Green Bay and Washington, three games in London (Washington vs. Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, Giants vs. St. Louis Rams) and another meeting between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas, who have met in three Super Bowls.

Happy Birthday, Bowie: Tracing the Icon"s Runway Impact

David Bowie - Heroes

David Bowie is perhaps everything fashion would aspire to be, everything it is at its best: chameleonlike, slipping easily from one singular identity to another at the drop of a hat. So its little wonder that hes been a perennial reference for the industrys biggest names. Consider some of his most ardent fans: Raf Simons, Hedi Slimane, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dries Van Noten . . . this list goes on. Ziggy Stardust is undeniably the icons most famous persona but far from the only to come to life on the catwalks. The Thin White Duke has been evoked by both Van Noten and Alber Elbaz (in the same season, no less), while a dead ringer for the striped Freddie Burretti jacket Bowie can be seen wearing over lunch on a train with Mick Ronson turned up at Givenchy Spring 10. And who could forget, in an ultimate confluence of fashion and the Starman himself, when Kate Moss donned one of his 1972 tour jumpsuits for her turn as a presenter at the Brit Awards?

In honor of the legends 69th birthday (and the debut of his new album, Blackstar), were revisiting 14 of the best runway homages to the man who fell to earth.

Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch listed as questionable vs. Vikings

Top 100 Players of 2015: Marshawn Lynch

RENTON, Wash. -- Marshawn Lynch was listed as questionable on Friday for the Seattle Seahawks" wild-card game at Minnesota, although all indications are that Lynch will play.

Seattle coach Pete Carroll engaged in a bit of gamesmanship following the final practice of the week on Friday, saying that the team still needed to see how Lynch responded on Saturday before making a final decision on his status for the playoff game. Lynch was a full participant in practice all three days this week after not playing since Week 10 against Arizona.

"We"ve got to go to tomorrow and make sure he"s OK after today," Carroll said. "We"ll do that same old thing and see how he"s taken to the week"s work and all of that. He looked good during the week and did some really good stuff. We"ll just use all of the time that we have available."

Lynch underwent abdominal surgery on Nov. 25 and only rejoined the team this week after spending most of his recovery in the Bay Area working out with personal trainers. Carroll had indicated on KIRO-FM radio early Friday that Lynch was going to play but hedged later in the day.

"I have not said yet that he"s playing. I know that"s been out there. We don"t know for sure until we finish the week. He"s looked really good," he said.

Seattle will be without tight end Luke Willson after he had a setback in his recovery from a concussion suffered in Seattle"s Week 16 loss to St. Louis. Willson was a limited participant in practice Wednesday before sitting out the past two days.

"He just didn"t quite get through it," Carroll said. "He did some of the work and practiced with us and just didn"t quite recover. We"re going to take care of him."

Everyone else for Seattle was listed as probable including starting strong safety Kam Chancellor, guard J.R. Sweezy and left tackle Russell Okung after all three missed the regular-season finale.

New York Giants expect Tom Coughlin to talk to Philadelphia Eagles about ...

Philadelphia Mayor Vows ISIS-Linked Police Shooting “Had Nothing To Do With Islam!”

Tom Coughlin"s coaching career isn"t over just yet, and there"s at least a chance it could continue in a familiar place.

Sources told FOX Sports on Saturday that the Giants have granted permission to the Eagles to speak to Coughlin. The interview is slated for Monday.

Sources in the Giants organization said Friday they expected Coughlin to speak to the Eagles about their coaching vacancy. The sources said the Eagles are interested in Coughlin"s services, which jibes with a report from FOX 5 in New York on Friday night that stated the Eagles requested permission from the Giants to speak with Coughlin.

Coughlin resigned as Giants coach with one year left on his contract, which means the Giants still hold his rights.

A source told FOX Sports shortly after Coughlin resigned on Monday the 69-year-old coach would entertain the idea of coaching again in the right situation. He has four children and 11 grandchildrenwho all live on the East Coast.

Whether Coughlin considers the Eagles job to be the right situation remains to be seen. He didn"t seem thrilled with the organization"s decision to fire Chip Kelly after only three seasons.

"Quite frankly, I"m not surprised by anything in this business," Coughlin said. "But that one was close."

A few days later, during his news conference to announce his resignation, Coughlin praised the Giants for their patience during the early part of his tenure with the team. He was surely referencing their decision to stick with him after a tumultuous 2006 season -- patience that was rewarded with a Super Bowl title one season later.

Coughlin dubbed the Giants a "great organization, people that will support you and back you, people that are real football people." Then, in what seemed like a poke at the teams that have had quick triggers in firing coaches, he added: "That could be another lecture of mine for the National Football League, which I"ll refrain from right now. But [the Giants] are football people. They don"t panic every time there"s a missed third down -- [except] after you go 6-10 twice."

The Eagles were quick to get rid of Kelly but stuck by Andy Reid for 14 seasons, even though the fan base"s patience wore thin when he couldn"t quite get over the hump and win a Super Bowl.

It"s clear Coughlin values loyalty in an organization and would want to hear that"s the case in Philly, despite the move to get rid of Kelly in a hurry. There were other factors involved during Kelly"s regime, namely his desire for control over personnel. But Coughlin would be looking for signs of stability in any potential employers.

The Eagles would surely have their own questions, such as whether Coughlin has enough in the tank at this point in his career. One viewing of his news conference on Tuesday, during which he gave an emphatic speech that brought Eli Manning to tears, should put those concerns to rest.

And perhaps the sight of Manning crying registered with Jeffrey Lurie. After all, the Eagles owner said recently he"s looking for a coach who, unlike Kelly, knows how to "open his heart to the players" and "understands emotional intelligence." Perhaps he believes Coughlin could be that coach.

The Eagles are considering other candidates, and Doug Pederson, a former Eagles quarterbacks coach who has served as Reid"s offensive coordinator in Kansas City, will receive strong consideration. But Coughlin brings two Super Bowl rings as a head coach, which makes him an intriguing candidate for any team.

Dow Jones Industrial Average Rebounds After December Jobs Report Shows Robust ...

Economic Woes - Dow Jones Closes Out Worst Year Since 2008 - Stuart Varney - Fox & Friends

This story was updated at 11:55 a.m. EST.

U.S. stocks were down slightly mid-session Friday, having given up an early rally that was driven bya better-than-expected jobs report.Chinese stocks recovered, and oil prices moved off multiyear lows.

Nonfarm payrolls surged by 292,000 in December, and the unemployment rate held steady at 5 percent. October and November payrolls were revised to show 50,000 more jobs created than previously reported, according to Friday"s report. The upbeat report suggests that a recent manufacturing-led slowdown in economic growth would be temporary.

The Dow Jones industrial average was lately down 29 points, or 0.2 percent, having mounted a triple-digit rally earlier in the session. Thebroader S&P 500 index was down 4points, or 0.2 percent. The tech-rich Nasdaq composite index was lately off 8 points, or 0.2 percent.

Fridays early rally cappeda week of volatility in the markets, roiled by the fallout from Chinas attempts to manage its massive economy and currency devaluations. The Dow is now some 10 percent below last years record high.

Before Friday, the Dow had lost 5.2 percent since the end of 2015 in the worst first four trading days since the 30-stock index"s creation several decades ago.

Oil prices rose modestly Friday, boosted by the recovery in Chinese shares, but remained within reach of 11-1/2-yearlows.

Calm returnedto overseas markets overnight. Chinese stocks rebounded, helping to calm bourses across Asia, while European markets were broadly higher Friday, providing hope that the panic-fueled week may yet end on a positive note.

Intense volatility in the global markets this week is estimated to have wiped out over $2 trillion of shareholders" value across the globe.

In company news:

Shares of Qorvo were down 4.2 percent at $43.70, a day after the Apple supplier cut its revenue estimate for the third quarter.

Gap was down 11.6 percent to $23.64 after the apparel retailer reported a larger-than-expected drop in December same-store sales.

Container Store slumped 39.8 percent to $4.32, a day after storage products retailer"s fourth-quarter profit forecast missed estimates.

Reuters contributed to this report.
