First breaking news about the 524 million powerball drawing just hours ago. We didnt win. Neither did you, by the way. The big news this morning, about the next jackpot. Its thursday, january 7th. Announcer from abc news, this is world news now. Oh, good morning, everybody. Its thursday. Im Kayna Whitworth in for reena ninan. Im kendis gibson. And if you happen to be holding a Powerball Ticket like we are, then you might as well as just how many numbers did we get right . We got zero. Zero. Its worth about this much. I thought it would be a lot more dramatic than that. Sitting next to you is kind of dramatic. I wish everybody could have witnessed the setup that this took. Its always bigger in person. Yeah. On tv, it just doesnt translate. I really appreciate your enthusiasm. Well try again for saturday. Dont pull a muscle. Or a hernia. Too late. Yeah, i mean, 675 million the big jackpot. Im buying another one. Yeah, of course we will. So you get another chance saturday because the prizes he said will be an estimated 675 million. The largest jackpot in u. S. History and up till last nights drugging, powerball players were out in force buying a shot at Financial Freedom hoping they would have it was just not to be. Just so you know, the winning numbers or notsowinning numbers were 2, 11, 47, 62, 63 and the powerball was 17. Much more about our frustration in the lottery frenzy ahead. The numbers you should pick also and the ones you should skip when you buy your next ticket. Well talk about that in the next half hour. Of course, we want to get to our other major story. A lot of people on the west coast paying attention to this. A third el ninofueled storm blasting through southern california. The heavy rains triggered mud slides, flooded roads. Multiple lanes of the 5 freeway in the San Fernando Valley were closed for several hours. Looked like they turned the freeway into a canal. Farther north, heavy rains in the bay area have been making driving treacherous. Sand bags are on stand by and more rain on the way. Abcs brandi hitt leads off our coverage this morning. Reporter a super soaking in we go around. Reporter heavy downpours flooding roads and entire freeways. Its down to just the left lane open. Reporter leaving drivers stranded many with the same story. I saw cars going through it. So i thought oh, im fine. Reporter look at this big rig rescue a smaller car. This driver got a push from the highway patrol. The backtoback el nino storms delivering so much rain, water broke through the walls of this restaurant. The saturated ground toppling one tree after the next on to cars as emergency crews also rescue the homeless kicked out along fast rising rivers. We was overcome by water. Waist to chest deep water and they were hypothermic. Reporter the concern now mud slides at recent wildfire burn areas, sliding mud is threatening homes. Many families hoping sand bags will save them. And while this crew tries to others are using the heavy rain and mud to their advantage. And this region isnt out of the woods yet. More rain is in store for this week. A welcome sight for droughtstricken california, but too much too fast, and this is what happens, kendis and kayna. Brandi, thank you so much. The storm system so powerful it actually unleashed waterspouts. One by one. Look at this. The funnels were spotted off the coast of san diego but did not move ashore. There were several of them there. Accuweathers Justin Povick has the latest storm warnings. Good morning. Kayna and kendis, thanks and good morning to you, as well. Were tracking more storminess. Hard to believe in the southwest again on this thursday. Very active storm track. Tracking heavy rain in the valleys and very heavy snow continuing in the mountainous terrain. Lots of travel delays coming up. South plains and the Gulf Coast Region looking at gusty thunderstorms as well with soaking showers. Justin, thank you. Also, breaking overnight for the second time this week, trading has been halted on chinas stock market. About a half an hour after the exchange opened the shanghai index down more than 7 triggering the shutdown. And as was the case monday, it was because of worries about chinas economy. The central bank again devalued the countrys currency and this morning other asian marks are down. That said, north koreas claim of a Nuclear Bomb Test doesnt seem to be a factor in the stock market slide perhaps because there are doubts it ever happened. The white house doesnt believe the claim. The u. S. Immediately launched socalled Nuclear Sniffer planes to determine whether the claims are true. The investigation could take months, but already many are skeptical. The reported size of the detonation is relatively modest, comparable to the tests that north korea carried out in 2013 which i think led many experts to assume this is, in fact, probably a much cruder device rather than a fully fledged Hydrogen Bomb. True or not, the United NationsSecurity Council test. The question now this morning, whether the norths chief backer china is willing to allow stiffer sanctions as punishment. A bill to repeal obamacare is heading for the president s desk where hes sure to veto it. It also blocks funding for planned parenthood. The house vote was pretty much a straight partyline vote on a measure the Senate Passed last year. Neither margin was enough to overturn the veto. However, democrats say its political theater. Moving now more political theater but on the campaign trail. Donald trump is now shifting his focus for the moment away from the clintons and to his closest challenger, ted cruz. Hes now asking the same questions of the texas senator that he once asked of president obama. Heres abcs tom llamas. Reporter donald trump saying his toughest challenger, senator ted cruz, has a, quote, cloud over his head. Do you believe senator ted cruz is a natural born citizen . I dont know. To be honest. Reporter trump now warning democrats will make an issue of canada. Hes got this cloud over his head. I dont think its going to be possible for him to do very well. I dont think its actually possible for the republicans to let it happen, because hell have this cloud. Reporter in iowa, cruz, whose mother is an american citizen, firing back. The child of a u. S. Citizen born abroad is a natural born citizen. People will continue to make political noise about it, but as a legal matter, it is quite straightforward. Reporter trump famously used the birther issue against president obama, challenging him to prove he wasnt born in kenya. But just last year, trump himself told abc news that cruz doesnt have a problem. Its fine. I hear that it was checked out by every attorney and every which way and i understand ted is in fine shape. Reporter but back then, cruz was trailing badly. Some polls have cruz leading in iowa, and we were one on one with him on his campaign bus, asking about trump. Im not going to psycho analyze donald trump. My view if others reporter if he sees you as a youd have to ask him that. Reporter cruz has tried his best to ignore trumps attack. The fiery texas senator energizing Iowa Republicans and his consecutive base. We were there when a woman broke down in tears just talking to him. Reporter but some republicans worry cruz is too polarize, unwilling to compromise with congress to win in a national election. Donald trump says a judge could settle this whole issue but senator ted cruz is not taking the bait. I asked him again about this, and he says the issue is settled. If hes elected he can become president by law. Tom llamas, abc news, spencer, iowa. On the democratic side, all three president ial candidates turned out for a dinner in las vegas last night cohosted by harry reid. However, it was not a debate. Hillary clinton, vermont senator Bernie Sanders and Martin Omalley each made their case to a friendly audience about their plans to grow the middle class, protect medicare and Social Security and create jobs. Well, the picks and snubs of baseballs hall of fame have sparked debate in the sports world. Highest total ever. 630 home runs, also voted in mike piazza, considered the games greatest hitting catcher. Not making it to cooperstown this year, if you want to call him the home run king, barry bonds. Then sevency young award winner Roger Clemens both tainted by steroid use. I saw a lot of congratulations for ken griffey junior. Apparently he had to wait almost 30 minutes for the call. They have video of him sitting there wait for the call. Amazing to see how excited those guys get. By the way, sammy sosa got 31 more votes than the rest of us would have got. And also a good point. Coming up the mix, the hidden stash of cash chewed up and the hungry dog in big oh, my gosh. Also ahead, we are returning to our top story, the anticipation leading to last nights powerball drawing and the numbers to pick for this weekends historic jackpot. The football field.
