\u27a2 <\/span>The $70 million Lotto Max jackpot is still unclaimed, with no winner in Tuesday night\u2019s draw.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, 28 of the 50 Maxmillion prizes of $1 million were won. The majority were sold in Ontario, with 14 winning tickets. Another six were sold in the Prairies, five in Quebec, two in British Columbia and one in the Atlantic provinces.<\/span><\/p>\n

The jackpot for the next draw FRIDAY will remain at an estimated $70 million, with 50 Maxmillion prizes of $1 million each once again up for grabs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>Police were called to help a man who got his SUV stuck on the sixth hole of a\u00a0<\/span>golf course<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in Newton, Massachusetts.\u00a0 The driver blamed the Waze traffic app for getting him stuck.\u00a0 (Here’s a scene from “The Office” where Michael does the same thing but with a lake.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>The name “Karen” comes with a stigma now that it’s used as a derogatory term.\u00a0 And all the bad press might be driving Karens to EXTINCTION. New data shows the name “Karen” is less popular now than it’s been in almost a CENTURY. Only 325 babies named Karen were born in the U.S. last year, making it the 831st most popular name for a girl.\u00a0 The last time it ranked that low was 94 years ago in 1927. It peaked in popularity in 1965 when it was the third most popular name for a girl.\u00a0 The name has been falling in popularity for a while though, even before the whole “Karen” thing started. So it could drop out of the top 1,000 soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>American workers overall saw a two percent pay decrease last year, while many lost their jobs outright to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. But their bosses are doing just fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CEO compensation was up 15 percent from 2019, to $13.9 million, their average pay was 689 times that of their employees. Many corporations bent their own rules to reward the bosses even as company profits plunged.<\/span><\/p>\n

The highest-paid American CEO in 2020 was Hilton Hotels’\u00a0<\/span>Christopher Nassetta<\/b>, whose compensation package was worth $55.9 million last year. Median pay at the company was $28,608, down from $43,695 the year before.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>\u00a0Police are blaming a cicada (sih-KAY’-duh) for causing a car crash in Ohio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Someone was driving in Cincinnati on Monday when a single cicada flew in through their window . . . hit them in the FACE . . . and made them crash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They slammed into a telephone pole, and their car was totaled.\u00a0 Luckily they weren’t seriously hurt. Police are telling motorists to keep their windows closed for the time being.<\/span><\/p>\n

COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/b><\/p>\n

Kenny Chesney<\/b>‘s “Don’t Happen Twice” went to Number One on the\u00a0<\/span>Billboard<\/span><\/i>\u00a0country chart in 2001.<\/span><\/p>\n

GETTING THE SHOT:<\/b>
\n<\/span>Many US states have launched some sort of a vaccine lottery to encourage people to be vaccinated against COVID-19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Ohio, a random entrant each week wins a million dollars. Now, West Virginia has decided to get in on the action. And West Virginia\u2019s prizes are awesome. The state will hold twice-weekly drawings between June 20-Aug. 4 for $1 million. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But it\u2019s some of the other prizes that are getting all of the attention. Among them:<\/span><\/p>\n
