Powerball Winning Numbers, Fake FedEx Workers Hit Bala Cynwyd, Butkovitz Building Demo Request

Tickets in North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas have matched all six numbers to split a $564.1 million Powerball jackpot, lottery officials said Thursday. Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager and production coordinator for the Multi-State Lottery Association, said the Puerto Rico ticket was the first Powerball jackpot winner ever sold outside the continental United States. Wednesday's jackpot was the third-largest in Powerball history and the fifth-largest U.S. lottery prize. Should the winners select the lump sum option, each would get a one-third share of $381,138,450.16 before taxes. The other option is an annuity, under which the lottery would make payments 30 times over 29 years. The winning numbers in Wednesday’s drawing were: 11, 13, 25, 39, 54 and the Powerball 19. The jackpot now goes back to $40 million for the next drawing on Saturday.

Police are searching for two men who posed as FedEx delivery workers and attempted to burst into a home on the Main Line. It happened around 7 a.m. Wednesday at a home along Dartmouth Road in Bala Cynwyd. Homeowner Manisha Khoday says the door bell rang, and when she opened the door, two masked men dressed as FedEx delivery men and carrying packages tried to force open the glass storm door. Khoday called 9-1-1 and the men took off. Police say they canvassed the area and conducted a neighborhood check. FedEx is cooperating with police. The company says all FedEx drivers are required to wear ID badges.

Philadelphia’s City Controller is calling for the demolition of more than 100 vacant buildings that he says create a public safety hazard. Controller Alan Butkovitz says he reviewed Licenses and Inspections records on more than 1,200 vacant properties and found, together, they’d accumulated some 2,300 citations that have gone unaddressed, from weeds and trash to collapsing structures. He says 101 were considered imminently dangerous, unsafe or hazardous. Butkovitz is revisiting a topic that he’s covered several times, going back to 2006, when he recommended the Department of Licenses and Inspections add 52 new inspectors to enforce code violations. At the time, he estimated it would cost $3-million, and though he expects the cost may have gone up, he says there’s nothing more important to spend money on.
