Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:36:55 GMT

What was the wildest hockey thing that happened in 2023?Was it a seemingly cursed franchise making the Stanley Cup Final from the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference? Maybe it was having the first 100-point showing by a defenceman in over 30 years and the first 150-point campaign by anybody in nearly the same amount of time occurring in the same season?How about a team widely believed to be a Cup contender falling flat out of the gate and getting its coach fired? Or an all-time great hitting a goal-scoring wall and making us wonder if we’ll be denied a historic chase?From the Florida Panthers’ great run, to stunning seasons from Erik Karlsson and Connor McDavid, to No. 97’s Oilers beginning this year 2-9-1 to Alex Ovechkin’s sudden goal-scoring drought, the past 12 months have given us no shortage of shockers.Which brings us to the next 12.Surely 2024 — with some great storylines already percolating this year and more than a little off-season intrigue to follow — will b...

TAMPA (WFLA) - The largest-ever Mega Millions jackpot — a $1.602 billion prize hit by a single ticket sold in Florida four months ago — has been claimed, but we still don't exactly know who the winner is. The winner came forward in late September, nearly two months after hitting the jackpot off a ticket sold at a Publix in Neptune Beach. Under Florida law, however, the winner's name wasn't released.

As of Christmas, the Florida Lottery was legally allowed to release the name of the record-setting Mega Millions winner.
