Opinion/Flotsam & Jetsam: Dinosaur prints and an eccentric pianist
By Jim Carter
What’s in the numbers? Massachusetts Lottery officials said they had 50 (count ‘em fifty) Mass Cash drawing winners a couple weeks ago, all of whom selected 3-9-15-21-27. They had to split the $2.4 million jackpot, which reduced their take-home to about $48,000 each. The numbers are all six digits apart, and appeared stacked in a vertical line on the bet slip. They’ve had multiple winners who had to share the pot before, but never 50. (Sharing the wealth.)
Speaking of records, German scientists have discovered a heretofore unknown chameleon that is the smallest known reptile on planet earth.

4-Year-Old Girl Discovers Fossilized Dinosaur Footprint From Triassic on Beach in Wales
