A Southwest Florida man making a move to North Carolina caught a big break in his new state. When Ernesto Sorzano, of Estero, recently picked up his favorite Chinese takeout order of fried rice and shrimp, he also got a fortune cookie with a set of lucky numbers. He played them on a Powerball ticket and ended up winning a half-million-dollar prize. Lucky numbers he used, provided on the fortune slip from his cookie, matched four of the white balls and the Powerball in the February 20th drawing, winning him $50,000 dollars. But because he bought a $3-dollar Power Play ticket, his prize jumped 10-fold to $500,000 dollars when the 10-times multiplier was drawn. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Teachers, police and firefighters age 50 and older will be able to get the coronavirus vaccine starting Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday. DeSantis signed an executive order that will allow law enforcement officers, those who work in K-12 schools and any firefighters who haven’t already gotten shots to be inoculated. The expected arrival of 175,000 Johnson & Johnson vaccines, approved over the weekend, allowed him to expand the list of those who are eligible. In the executive order, DeSantis also gave doctors, advanced practice registered nurses and pharmacies the ability to vaccinate those under the age of 65 with chronic health conditions.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
