Lottery winner burns through nearly $50 million before death The winner of one of the largest EuroMIllions jackpots burned through most of his winnings before his death in 2019, new documents revealed. Colin Weir from North Ayrshire, Scotland, won a record-breaking £161 million (roughly $257.6 million) in 2011, which still ranks as one of the largest jackpots handed out by the European lottery competition.

Weir’s initial £161 million winning, cut in half by his…

Everyone should know that the President of the United States flies in a Boeing 747 called Air Force One. Many people might also know that the vice president rides in a separate plane called Air Force Two that is usually a Boeing 757. So just how far down does the presidential line of succession do we have to go before we hit an Airstream? Well, apparently not that far. Air Force Six. Who exactly gets to ride in Air Force Six you ask? Well, if you click through the link above you would have landed at the Wikipedia page telling you exactly…

A bond shared between siblings is a very special one and one that is also irreplacable. A set of twin sisters gave birth to two newborn daughters just 90 minutes apart on their birthday in East Tennessee. The exciting moment happened at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center last Thursday in Knoxville, where Autumn Shaw and Amber Tramontana gave birth to Charleston and Blakely. ‘We wanted our kids to have the same experience that we had growing up. That’s why we wanted to have babies close together,’ Tramontana told WATE. ‘But we didn’t plan that it was going to be this close together.’ The odds of…

They are among nature’s most in incredible wonders – huge, delicately balanced rocks that look like they’re about to topple over at any moment. Some may last for thousands of years but the lifespan on some of the selection we have below, one suspects, is going to be a little bit shorter. Are you ready to rock and roll? Balanced Rock Park, USAI wouldn’t stand there if I were you© Gerry Slabaugh Over 15m tall and weighing 40 tons, this wind-carved rock balances precariously on a pedestal only 1m by 43cm. No, we wouldn’t want to stand there for too…

A rescue team received a call about an injured dog wandering in a nearby area. This was no ordinary search. The stray dog didn’t just need to be rescued from the street. It had to be rescued to survive. The stray dog had a pitcher on its head, preventing it from eating and drinking. The poor dog could hardly breathe! Rescuers tried to catch the puppy, but the dog kept running until it hid under a bridge and gasped for breath. Rescuers had to give the puppy human tranquilizers. After being shot with an arrow, the puppy ran away again,…

,,Angels located and rescued him.” A few months ago, rescuers from the Trani Dog Walking Association faced one of the saddest cases ever. A man was walking between Trani and Barletta in Italy when he came across something very suspicious. On the side of the road was a wounded travel bag and a few centimeters away from it a bone that looked like a dog. The way the suitcase had been torn apart was a clear indication of the terrible situation his furry friend was in. “How is it possible for someone to do such a thing?” lamented one…

The ancient cave city may be as old as 3,000 years, and it long served as a major religious center of pre-Christian Georgia. Uplistsikhe, literally ‘Fortress of God’, then continued to thrive for nearly a millennium after the country’s conversion, ultimately meeting its demise at the hands of the Mongols in the 13th century. Archaeological excavations have revealed extraordinary artifacts dating from the late Bronze Age all the way up to the late Middle Ages.The place was founded in the late Bronze Age, around 1000 BC, and continued to be inhabited until the 13th century AD Uplistsikhe was a cult…

The father of two stopped his car near Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire to help the injured animal without hesitation. When he saw the creature, he immediately remembered that there had been many reports of a big cat roaming the streets.

YF-118G: Meet the Bird of Prey – The Aircraft That Star Trek Helped Inspire – Until Star Trek debuted on NBC on September 8, 1966 – eventually becoming a touchstone of international pop culture – spaceships were almost always depicted as “flying saucers” or “rocket ships.” The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was unlike anything else seen in science fiction, and more importantly, it was actually a starship. While no manmade craft has actually come anywhere close in design to what is arguably the most famous sci-fi space vessel (sorry Millennium Falcon fans), another craft from Star Trek seems to have been at least “inspired” from the series. That would be the Boeing YF-118G,…

The B-1B Lancer had an interesting birth, but is currently one of the few supersonic strategic bombers in active military service If we take a look at the various military air arms across the world, one thing is obvious. That is the fact that the strategic bomber is becoming a dying breed. Large, heavy bomber aircraft are few and far between now, with most bombing roles now carried out by multirole ground attack machines, and other such aircraft like the F-35 Lightning or Eurofighter Typhoon. But some air arms still believe there is a need for a big strategic bomber, something that…

Why the Super Tomcat 21 Was Not To Be: Designed to incorporate the air combat experience learned during the Vietnam wᴀʀ, the Grumman F-14 was the first of the American “Teen Series” fighter jets that would include the F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the F/A-18 Hornet. During its three decades in service with the United States Navy, the F-14 Tomcat more than lived up to the role it was initially designed for, drawing blood in combat and even getting its moment in the spotlight in the film Top Gun. The carrier-based multi-role fighter was developed after the United States…

Most parents will agree that trying to multi-task with an active toddler is not the most effective way to achieve daily goals, and yet most parents don’t really have a choice. One dad found himself waiting for a court hearing concerning a traffic ticket while trying to watch his two-year-old daughter Abi who he couldn’t find a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦sitter for. A court camera captured Jose Moncayo trying to read through some papers before his appearance at the Utah County courthouse for a traffic ticket. Meanwhile, his very active toddler is running around in the background. When it was time for him…

When they’re alive, Snapdragons make beautiful flowers. But when the seed pods die, something peculiar happens… the dead flower heads resemble miniature human skulls. And if squeezed  between the fingertips, the skull will open and close its mouth. Ancient cultures once thought Snapdragon Flowers held supernatural powers, and it was considered good luck to carry one around with you. Another myth is that the Snapdragon Flowers give lifelong beauty and youthfulness to any woman who consumes them… we think we’ll stick to Oil of Olay for now. 1Snapdragons are officially the most metal flower to exist — when they die, they…
