Stranger’s car number earns lottery player a $50,000 prize
A Maryland man used a set of numbers he copied from another vehicle’s license plate to play a lottery and scored a $50,000 prize.
The Hyattsville man told Maryland Lottery officials he often memorises license plate numbers on the road or at the scene of accidents and uses them to play Pick 5 drawings.
One such set of numbers adorned his ticket for the June 26 midday Pick 5 drawing, and he matched all five drawn digits: 2-0-5-3-3.
The ticket earned him a $50,000 jackpot.
“I was happy and excited when my five digits hit,” the player said.
A surprisingly similar number combination — 2-0-5-3 — previously earned the man a $5,000 prize from a Pick 4 drawing in 2023.
The man said his winnings will go toward starting a savings account for his grandchild. –UPI

A brown bear wandered into a hotel in Tibet and forced its way into a locked room with two guests inside.
Security camera footage from the hotel in Nagqu shows the bear wander down a hallway inside the building on Saturday and force its way through a door into an occupied room.
The guests in the room said they stared at the bear for a few seconds before it left the room on its own.
The hotel owner used a flashlight and other tools to scare the bear and chase it out of the building.The door has since been repaired and the hotel said it is adding additional security measures to keep bears out.
