Grandparents Hit The Jackpot!!


Grandparents, Tonya and Bobby Harris will have 164 million reasons to wake up everyday after hitting the Jackpot Friday night.

Bobby picked the numbers and Tonya bought the two $1 tickets just hours before the drawing.

Bobby used the birth dates of five of their six grandchildren to pick the winning numbers: 7, 12, 13, 19, 22.

Tonya says she’s still not sure what prompted Bobby to pick the all-important Mega Ball number of 10.

The couple’s last grandchild, Cody was born on December 30th, but instead of playing 30 he chose 10, which made the difference between winning the $270 million or $250,000.

The Harrises have two daughters who also live in Portal, and plan to take the winnings as a lump sum, which would leave them with $164 million before taxes.

What’s next?

Bobby says, “It is great to know I won’t have to go ask for a job or work for somebody else, that I can finally stay home and enjoy my grandkids.” Tonya added, “I hope everything will just stay normal. I really want the normal life. We’d just like to have a home and some land and things for the grandkids and to help our kids out and our family. But that’s as far as we want to go.

Nursing Moms Protest New York State Museum


A group of moms in Albany staged a ‘nurse in’ at the New York State Museum to support a mom who was allegedly asked to stop breastfeeding by a Museum employee.

Kristin Kelly says someone confronted her twice here at the State Museum, telling her she had to leave a public area to continue breastfeeding her son.

This clearly did sit well with local moms because they mobilized and then staged their protest.

State Museum officials made no attempt to stop the demonstration because New York Civil Rights Law guarantees women the right to nurse where they want.

The museum officials say they support that, adding that they don’t think it was a museum employee who hassled Kristen.

“Somebody was identified by name, described and we don’t have anybody that meets that description or has that name that would be on the floor. We knew it couldn’t have been one of ours,” Museum Director Cliff Siegfried said.

In response, Kristen said, “I am sure of what I saw and if it was not a Museum employee than it was still a State employee and it happened in their facility. So, at least all I want is an apology.” The aftermath of the whole incident has also been overwhelming for the mom, which at times has prompted her to stop answering the phone.

“People trying to do school reports about me. Men trying to purchase milk from me. So it’s just a little strange,” Kelly said.
