2. The winner of this month’s $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot just came forward this week. Turns out he’s a 46-year-old immigrant from Laos who’s battling cancer. He said he’s relieved to know that even if the worst happens, his family is set.
3. Earlier this month, a school bus driver in Wisconsin had a medical issue and passed out behind the wheel. But an eighth grader named Acie Holland immediately took charge. (pronounced A.C.)
