US Truck Driver Wins Lottery Jackpot That Will Pay Him $1000 Payouts Every Week For Life

A truck driver from Oregon, Robin Riedel, picked the golden ticket and now is set for the rest of his life as he will receive a hefty paycheque every week. On May 8, Mr Riedel won the jackpot in the Oregon Lottery's Win for Life game, which qualifies him for a weekly payout of $1,000 for life. 

After the big win, Mr Riedel said, "I struck it. I succeed. In another two to three years, I hope to retire."

Mr Riedel, who drives a truck for a concrete company, said he has played the game regularly since it launched in 2001. 

“I hit it!” he said. “I hit it!” 

Riedel plans to use the winnings — $52,000 per year — to pay bills, make improvements to a home he purchased three years ago with his wife Debi, and vacation in Saint Lucia to mark the couple's upcoming wedding anniversary, according to a press release by Oregon Lottery. 

"The money will allow us to do some things we wouldn't be able to do,” said Riedel. “I'm hoping to retire in another two to three years."'

Meanwhile, previously, an Australian couple hit the lottery jackpot twice in one week, winning over a million dollars. The prize money doubled because the husband forgot to submit the wife's preferred ticket numbers during the draw last week after which she became angry. Hoping to make up for the mistake, the man bought another ticket and submitted it for the draw. The couple from Dapto, just south of Wollongong, was awarded $2 million Australian dollars (USD 1.3 million) for winning the two division one prize on the Monday Lotto.

Elon Musk Loses Bid To End Pre-Approval Of His Tweets By Market Regulator

A federal appeals court on Monday rejected Elon Musk's bid to modify or end his 2018 securities fraud settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that required a Tesla Inc lawyer to approve some of his tweets in advance.

The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected Musk's claim that the SEC exploited his consent decree to conduct bad-faith, harassing investigations that violated his First Amendment free speech rights under the US Constitution.

Musk's decree resolved an SEC lawsuit accusing him of defrauding investors with an August 7, 2018, tweet that he had "funding secured" to take his electric car company private.

It required advance review of tweets that might contain material information about Tesla. Musk and Tesla each also paid $20 million in civil fines, and Musk gave up his role as chairman.

In the appeal, Musk's lawyers called the pre-approval mandate a "government-imposed muzzle" that amounted to an illegal prior restraint on his speech.

But the three-judge appeals court panel said the SEC had opened just two subsequent inquiries into Musk's tweets, and those tweets "plausibly violated" the decree's terms.

The panel said the SEC's "limited, appropriate inquiries in this case have not made compliance with the consent decree 'substantially more onerous'" for Musk, as he had argued.

It also said Musk chose to allow screening of his tweets, and had no right to revisit the matter "because he has now changed his mind."

Alex Spiro, a lawyer for Musk, said in an email: "We will seek further review and continue to bring attention to the important issue of the government constraint on speech."

The SEC declined to comment.

Monday's decision upheld an April 2022 ruling by US District Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan.

Liman called Musk's arguments a "bemoaning" of requirements he no longer wanted to adhere to now that Tesla had "become, in his estimation, all but invincible."

Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in October, and runs rocket and spacecraft manufacturer SpaceX. He is the world's second-richest person, according to Forbes magazine.

In February, a San Francisco jury found Musk not liable for investor losses over his "funding secured" tweet.

The case is SEC v Musk, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 22-1291.

Army Focuses On Indo-Myanmar Border Patrols To Keep Peace In Manipur

With the centre closely monitoring the situation in violence-hit Manipur, the army has come up with a pitch for unity. The army, after consultations, has started an initiative called "Together for Peace in Manipur".

The army jointly with the state government and other stakeholders will work to make people of all communities - especially those living in remote places away from Imphal valley - feel safe.

Over 128 army and Assam Rifles columns and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been engaged in area domination exercises to ensure early restoration of complete normalcy in Manipur, the army said in a statement.

Long-duration patrols, appropriately equipped and grouped with women soldiers of the Assam Rifles, were sent to vulnerable areas identified in consultation with the state government in the past 72 hours, the army said.

"These area domination patrols visited villages across communities, interacted with locals, women and influencers, not only to reassure them of their safety but also to provide the much-needed succour. Rendering medical assistance 'in situ' by para medics including undertaking prophylactic medical evacuation were some amongst many activities that were undertaken by these patrols," the army said in the statement.

"Firing incident of violence at Saparmeina was immediately responded to by the security forces and brought under control," it said.

The army has listed out a four-point plan to ensure peace in Manipur. This includes day and night area domination, surveillance over designated flashpoints, engagement with civil society organisations of all communities across Manipur and deployment of quadcopters, tracker dogs and UAVs.

The forces are also stressing on domination of the Indo-Myanmar border, which is being effectively undertaken to deter any misadventure from insurgent groups, the army said in the statement.

The army has appealed to all sections of the population in Manipur to support the efforts of the security forces in sustaining the hard-earned peace and harmony, and quell any attempt to spread hate or misinformation directed either towards them or spreading hatred towards each other in general.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh today said the centre will send an emissary to Manipur. "Yesterday, we met Home Minister Amit Shah ji, and we briefed him in detail about the situation in Manipur. He expressed his sadness about the incidents and his priority will be the restoration of normalcy in Manipur, irrespective of caste, religion and community," Mr Singh said.

Former Manipur Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Okram Ibobi Singh said, "We don't know what this government will do. Kuldeep Singh has been appointed as security advisor, but I don't think he should be the spokesperson. Kuki leaders who are asking for separate administration, my request is we are all Manipuris. The state government should take the right decision and timely action is most important."

Delhi High Court Refuses To Halt Demolition Of Temple Encroaching On Road

The Delhi High Court has refused to interfere with the demolition of a 55-year-old Kali temple which was found to be "unauthorised" and obstructing the free flow of traffic at Mayapuri Chowk in New Delhi.

Justice Prathiba M Singh permitted the removal of the idols and other religious objects from the temple by the priest and placing them in other temples, as directed by the Religious Committee in the matter, and said after May 20, the Public Works Department (PWD) was free to carry out the demolition activity.

The court's order came on a petition by Durga P Mishra, the priest and the caretaker of the temple, who sought to quash a notice dated April 25 issued by the PWD as well as the minutes of the meeting of the Religious Committee which took the decision to demolish the "Kali Mata Mandir".

"As per the minutes of the Religious Committee meeting, the committee has come to the conclusion that the temple structure is unauthorised and is situated on the main road. It is also obstructing free flow of traffic and thus had directed the removal of the said unauthorised religious structure," said the court in its order dated May 11.

"In view of the fact that a decision has been taken by the Religious Committee after considering all the relevant factors and PWD is giving effect to the same, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the demolition of the temple structure in the present petition," the court said.

The petitioner contended that although the temple was built on public land, it did not affect the flow of the traffic in the area.

It was stated that the problem of traffic was because of the vehicles which are parked behind the temple in the shopping area.

Considering the sketch and the photographs placed before it, the court observed that it was "clear" that the temple was on "government land" and had encroached upon the footpath for pedestrians as also the road, which is not permissible.

It further noted that the because of the location of the temple "in the corner of two roads i.e. one main road and one arterial road", the "smooth flow of the traffic was bound to be impeded".

Asking the local police to render full assistance in the process of demolition in order to maintain law and order, the court ordered, "After 20th May, 2023, the PWD is free to carry out the demolition and remove the unauthorised construction. No impediment shall be caused by the Petitioner or anyone on behalf of the Petitioner in the same".

"In view of the nature of the religious structure, the Petitioner is permitted to remove the idols and other religious objects in the temple within one week for the same to be placed in other temples as directed by the Religious Committee," it said.
