The annual Athletes’ Fuel Cup hockey tournament begins this week at Thames Campus arena.

The first games are tonight and wrap up with playoff games on August 11th.

Another big Mega Millions jackpot tonight.

No one matched all six numbers in the Friday drawing. That means tonight’s top prize has climbed to an estimated $707 million U.S. dollars, with a cash option of roughly $326 million, which would be the 10th largest Mega Millions prize ever won.

The odds of winning the grand prize are about 1 in 290 million.

**Reminder—you cannot legally buy Mega Millions tickets in Canada. You may see websites offering to buy Mega Millions tickets for you, be cautious. These services operate outside the official lottery system, and there is no guarantee that a ticket purchased through them will be honoured.

Coffee Mate has a new limited-edition creamer inspired by the “situationship.”

The new Situation-Sip Mixed Fruit Creamer is named after those undefined romantic relationships that don’t come with labels or long-term commitment. The flavor mixes strawberry, citrus and mixed berry notes with a creamy base. Coffee Mate says it’s made for iced coffee, summer drinks and dirty sodas. It’s a limited-time release, so like some situationships, it won’t be around forever.

At this point, it will not be offered in Canada.
