Powerball jackpot climbs to estimated $700M
DES MOINES, Iowa — A
lottery official says the estimated prize for this weekend's Powerball drawing has
grown to about $700 million,
making it the largest jackpot
of any lottery game in U.S.
history.
Texas Lottery Executive
Director Gary Grief says Saturday's drawing is growing
STATE
quickly with brisk sales and
could grow even larger by the
weekend. The jackpot was
increased Thursday from the
previous estimate of $675
million after no one matched
all the numbers in Wednesday night's $500 million
drawing.
Wednesday's numbers
were 2, 11, 47, 62 and 63, and
the Powerball was 17.
The previous U.S. record
was a $656 million Mega
Millions jackpot won in
March 2012.
Powerball is played in 44
states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands
and Puerto Rico.
At least 4 La. governors to
attend Edwards inauguration
BATON ROUGE — At
least four of Louisiana's former governors will watch
Gov.-elect John Bel Edwards
take the oath of office at his
inauguration
ceremony
Monday.
Edwards
spokesman
Richard Carbo said outgoing
Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal, who is term-limited, will
attend the ceremony to
watch his Democratic successor take over the job.
Carbo said former Govs.
Edwin Edwards, Buddy Roemer and Kathleen Blanco
also will be on hand at the
event. Former Gov. Mike
Foster's attendance is questionable because Carbo said
the two-term Republican
governor hasn't been feeling
well.
Edwards' transition office
outlined new details Thursday about his inaugural ceremony, announcing that LSU
play-by-play announcer Jim
Hawthorne will serve as the
master of ceremonies.
Hawthorne just completed his last season broadcasting LSU football games and
will retire after the men's
basketball season from a job
he's held for
more than 30
years.
"To
be
personally
asked
to
serve as master of ceremonies
by
Gov.-elect
EDWARDS
Edwards was
a thrill," Hawthorne said in a
statement. "I feel extremely
honored to be able to give
something back to the state
that has given so much to
me."
Edwards will be introduced at the ceremony by
Murray Starkel, one of the
governor-elect's classmates
at West Point.
The invocation will be led
by the Rev. Rodney Wood of
Mission Foundation, while
the inaugural prayer will be
led by the Rev. Samuel Tolbert, president of the National Baptist Convention. Father
Mark Beard of St. Helena
Catholic Church will give the
benediction.
A long list of musical
groups will perform at the
inaugural festivities, including Tulane Roots of Music,
the Centenary College Choir,
the National World War II
Museum's Victory Belles, the
Livingston Parish Children's
Choir, the Inaugural Gospel
Choir and the Louisiana
National Guard band.
State Rep. Jack Montoucet, D-Crowley, and his
family will sing "Amazing
Grace" in French.

EDITORIAL
ROUND UP
The
Courier of
Houma on
Gov.-elect
Edwards
Those who worried that Democratic Gov.-elect John Bel Edwards
would start out governing from the
far left can rest easy, at least for now.
Edward, speaking to business
officials in New Orleans two weeks
ago, extended a request that the
business community fully participate in the coming process of building a state budget.
"Come interact with me, and my
administration," Edwards told the
New Orleans Chamber of Commerce. "Don't just go to your corners and then start throwing
grenades, because we're never going
to get to where we have to get to in
the state if that happens."
That is a useful position to take
as Edwards embarks on a governorship that will test his ability to reach
across the political aisle.
The Democrat — who defeated
U.S. Sen. David Vitter in a November runoff — will have to work
cooperatively with the state's
Republicans, who hold much of the
power in the Legislature.
A key to that relationship will be
Edwards' willingness and ability to
listen to the business community.
That's not to say that business
interests should hold the final say,
but making sure there is useful
communication back and forth will
be vital to Edwards being able to
work effectively in Baton Rouge.
And that work is essential.
The state in recent years has
faced one fiscal crisis after another.
And this year is no different.
The money experts in Baton
Rouge predict that the budget shortfall next year will be as much as $1.6
billion.
Edwards and the Legislature will
have to work together to make sure
there is enough state money to pay
for crucial public services while
managing to trim a significant
amount from the spending budget,
all within the constraints of a state
constitution that leaves public officials precious little flexibility in making spending cuts.
The simple, brutal truth is that
Edwards and other state officials will
need all the help they can get in
coming up with constructive ideas
for making ends meet.
This is an issue that goes well
beyond this year, too.
Moving this state forward from
annual budget crises to a point
where we can plan years in advance
for revenue and spending will
require the input and buy-in of
every large group in Louisiana.
The fact that Edwards is indicating he is willing to listen to such an
important constituency is promising.
The challenge, of course, will
quickly become following through
on this promise. But the cooperative
tone in itself is a great sign in the
early stages of our next governor's
term.

your two
cents!

mayhem
and 2016
What's in store for the stock market, someone asked famed financier
J.P. Morgan more than a century ago.
'It will fluctuate, my boy,' Morgan
replied, 'it will fluctuate.'
Apocryphal or not, it's one of the
wisest and most enduring quotes in
the history of capitalism and markets.
Partly because that's all anyone can
predict with certainty - prices will
move up and move down, often for no
apparent reason. That's the very
nature of free markets.
But 'fluctuation' is one thing,
'chaos' is another. And this week has
been about as wild as they come, with
massive stock market declines in Asia,
Europe, and here in the USA. Even
tech stocks have been hammered into
submission. Meanwhile, gold has
been heading north, usually a sign of
investor panic.
So what does all this have to be
with the coming election? Let us
count the ways. Perhaps Bernie
Sanders will get a boost just in time for
Iowa and New Hampshire. He is the
only socialist in the race, pretty much
the only socialist in America not living
on a college campus, but his anti-capitalism rhetoric plays very well with
many angry Americans. And a lot of
them are far angrier this week now
that they are far
poorer. Bernie will
blame the greedheads on Wall
Street, his fans will
cheer like trained
seals, and he may
well enjoy a bull
market in the
polls.
Then there's
Donald Trump, a
man to whom
capitalism has
BILL
been very, very
O’RIELLY
good. Trump loyalists see him not
only as a fearless straight-talker, but
also as a financial wizard who can ride
to the rescue and fix America's fiscal
woes. Like Bernie Sanders, Trump has
railed against Wall Street's bankers
and traders, but he understands their
world a lot better than the wild-eyed
Vermont socialist. So if your 401K is
under water, maybe even doing a
passable imitation of the Titanic, who
are you going to turn to? Sanders? Carson? Rubio? Cruz? Or a financial wizard who wrote the book on the art of
the deal?
And then there is poor old Hillary
Clinton, who just can't seem to catch
a break. One day she's groping for
answers about Benghazi, the next day
she's groping for answers about her
husband's groping.
This week she faced some tough
interrogation from a usually reliable
supporter. When MSNBC's Chris
Matthews pressed Mrs. Clinton to
define the difference between a socialist and a Democrat, she put on some
dance moves that would be the envy
of Ginger Rogers. Or, if you prefer, Jennifer Lopez.
'I am a progressive Democrat,' she
insisted, 'who likes to get things done.'
Well, yeah. And just who doesn't want
to get things done? It's worth noting
that just a few months ago Mrs. Clinton proudly described herself as a
'moderate.'
Truth is, Hillary Clinton again finds
herself in the Twilight Zone, much like
2007. Back then, the nomination was
hers for the taking, pretty much sewn
up. But then defeat was snatched
from the jaws of victory by Barack
Obama and his fainting followers.
This time around, Mrs. Clinton is
being attacked from the left as being
way too cozy with Wall Street. She and
her husband live like the one-percenters they are, which is their prerogative, and she has raked in campaign
cash from her pals at the big banks
and brokerage houses. That is red
meat for Bernie Sanders, who accuses
her of being - heaven forbid! - a capitalist.
Republicans, meanwhile, blast
Hillary from the other direction,
accusing her of moving far left to
secure her party's nomination. She
can't denounce President Obama's
dismal economy without alienating
his base, but she also can't heap
praise on the economy and promise
more of the same. So once again, like
eight years ago, this Clinton cakewalk
has turned into a run through the
gauntlet. Over hot coals.
So how does this all end? First,
don't ever let anyone tell you that they
know how the stock markets will fare
in the coming weeks and months.
They do not! No one knows where oil,
gold, Apple stock, or cattle futures are
heading.
Similarly, when it comes to political
prognostication, absolutely no one is
really sure how American voters will
react to the current stock market
chaos. There is only one sure-fire prediction when it comes to the polls.
They will fluctuate, my boys and girls,
they will fluctuate.

Lady Tiders come up short

BLAKE BRANCH

Thursday night, the Minden
Lady Tiders (13-6) had The
Palace all to themselves for a
showdown with the No. 3 ranked
team in Class 5A, West Monroe
Lady Rebels.
In a competitive and hard
fought game, the Lady Tiders
came up short, 37-33.
“Both teams really, really got
after it defensively,” Lady Tider
head coach Jacob Brown said.
“You hate to see either team lose
a game like this. I thought we
took care good care of the basketball for the most part. I believe
we had our least amount of
turnovers on the year (13). I
always tell the girls I think 10 or
fewer gives a you a great chance
to win, and we were a little bit
above that. Hats off to our girls
though, they played a tough ball
game.”
Minden was down by 6 points
with four minutes to play and
went on an 8-0 run to take a twopoint lead.
Sha’terra Batton and Bre
Rodgers hit some clutch free
throws to give the Lady Tiders
the late lead, and it looked like
the a win was within reach.
Minden led 8-6 after one
quarter, moving the basketball
and getting good shots, but
Batton got in early foul trouble,
taking the Lady Tiders top scoring option off the court for the
majority of the second quarter.
West
Monroe
outscored
Minden 9-7 to send the two
teams into halftime tied 15-15. In
the third quarter, the Rebels held
Minden to just four points, then
held on for the win in the exciting
final quarter that saw the two
teams even at 14-14.
“Our girls played their hearts
out,” Brown said. “It was a very
exciting game and could have
gone either way. I think this is a
game we can grow and learn
from, more than any game we’ve
played all year. West Monroe is a
very good team and if we hit
some shots we typically make it’s
a different ball game.”
Sha Whiting had her best
offensive game of the season,
leading the team with nine
points, followed by Batton with
seven points, Tiaga Pugh added
six points and Whitney Aubrey
had five.
The Lady Tiders will be
back in action against Atlanta
in Summerfield on Saturday at
3 p.m.

When officers arrived,
they noted Flournoy in the
driver’s seat of a GMC
Yukon, with his wife in the
passenger seat. Cropper says
because of the report of a
gun, responding officers took
cover behind their patrol
units and ordered Flournoy
to exit the vehicle.
“At that point in time, his
wife exited the vehicle and
began yelling at the officers,”
he said. “Sgt. McClaran
detained her and positioned
her behind the patrol car.
Officer Hackett arrived as
backup and gave Flournoy
loud verbal commands to
show his hands and exit the

Area ministers and com-

the vehicle.
“After repeating the commands many more times,
Flournoy exited the vehicle
and sat down in the front
yard of the residence,” he
said. “At that point in time,
they were able to take him
into custody and place him
under arrest.”
When police searched the
vehicle, no weapon was
found inside the vehicle or on
Flournoy’s person, according
to the police report.
Flournoy was placed
under arrest and transported
to the Minden Police Department for booking and transported to Bayou Dorcheat

The chief says Flournoy

Few ways to improve your odds
for record $700M Powerball
SCOTT MCFETRIDGE
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa—
The record-breaking $700
million Powerball jackpot is
the stuff of dreams, but it all
boils down to math. From
the huge prize to the enormous odds against winning
it, Saturday night's drawing
is a numbers game that
gives players good reason to
brush up on their algebra,
maybe as they stand in line
to buy a ticket. A look at
some of the statistics:
The Most Important Numbers
For those who match all
five white balls and the red
Powerball, the key numbers
are the $700 million jackpot, paid out over 30 years
or as an immediate $428.4
million in cash. Those figures are before federal and
state taxes, which will eat up
roughly half of the cashoption prize.
The Odds
Ticket holders have a 1 in
292.2 million chance of winning. To put that in perspective, the odds of hitting the
jackpot are about the same
as your odds of flipping a
quarter and getting heads
28 times in a row, said Jeffrey Miecznikowski, associate professor of biostatistics
BURGLARIES
electricity,” he said.
Police discovered he was
in possession of stolen property from three other bur-
at the University at Buffalo.
"The probability is so
small, dare say impossible,"
Miecznikowski said. "It's
like trying to count electrons
or drops of water in the
ocean or grains of sand in
the world. We just can't
imagine these types of
things."
When Will Someone Win?
No one has won the
Powerball jackpot since
early November, which is
why the prize has grown so
large. The bigger prize
entices more people to buy
tickets, and that drives up
the jackpot. The increased
ticket sales also make it
more likely there will be a
winner, simply because all
those extra tickets mean
more number combinations
are covered.
Does Math Offer
Any Hints To
Improve The
Odds?
Scott A. Norris, an assistant professor of mathematics at Southern Methodist
University, said there's no
trick to playing the lottery,
but your tiny odds of winning are a bit better if you let
the computer pick rather
than choosing yourself.
That's because when people
glaries, one at Hamburger
Happiness on Sibley Road,
Mamie Bell’s Specialty Store
on Main Street and a vehicle
burglary that occurred on
Lewis Street, Cropper said.
Miller was then transported to police headquarters where he reportedly
use birthdates or other
favorite figures, they generally choose numbers 31 or
below. That ignores the fact
that there are 69 numbered
balls.
How Much Does
Buying Multiple
Tickets Help?
Your odds increase with
additional tickets, but it's
important to keep in mind
how small they are to begin
with. If you have a 1 in 292.2
million chance of winning
with one ticket, you have 10
times the odds if you buy 10
tickets. Yet the probability is
still incredibly small.
"The odds are so astronomically small that even
100 times that number is
exceedingly unlikely to win,"
Norris said. "It's probably
still not going to happen if
you buy a hundred tickets or
a thousand tickets or even a
million tickets."
If you have extra cash
and are thinking of buying
all possible number combinations, that is allowed, but
it wouldn't be very smart. At
$2 a ticket, the strategy
would cost about $584 million, and when taxes are
subtracted, you'd end up
losing money.
And if someone else had
the winning numbers, you'd
need to split the prize. You'd
make back some of that
money by smaller prizes
claimed responsibility for
those four burglaries.
Following his arrest,
Weaver
and
Garrett
obtained a search warrant to
conduct a more thorough
search of Miller’s home.
During the search, they
located property reportedly
paid for matching three,
four or five of the balls plus
the Powerball, but chances
are it still wouldn't be a good
bet.
What To Do With
The Winnings
Despite the odds, someone will eventually win the
prize. What then? Is it better
to take the money as an
annuity or in cash?
Olivia S. Mitchell, a professor of insurance and risk
management at the Wharton School at the University
of Pennsylvania, said to
avoid the risk of overspending or an investment
mishap, a safe option would
be to take the annuity, guaranteeing a huge annual payout for three decades.
"We know the average
American is quite financially
illiterate," Mitchell said.
For those who want to
invest the money themselves, Mitchell suggested
setting aside part of the cash
option to buy their own
annuity that would give
them a guaranteed income
in case the return on the
money they do invest comes
up short.
"That way, you still might
not beat what the state
pays," she said. "But on the
other hand, you've protected
your basic consumption
needs."
from another vehicle burglary on Sibley Road.
Weaver, Garrett and Lt.
Wayne Young went to Bayou
Dorcheat Correctional Center, where Miller was incarcerated on the Jan. 5
charges, and added an additional count of burglary.
