1 in 259 million, the worst of any american lottery ever. but that's not stopping people from playing. in fact, tickets are expected to sell at a rate of 11 million an hour in 43 states. where can't you play the game? nevada, utah, wyoming, mississippi, alabama, alaska and hawaii. and while 43 states are dreaming of a green christmas, people haven't forgotten, 'tis the season of giving. >> i would love to give it to people who need it. all around the world. >> reporter: and with a $316 million cash option, it could certainly spread a lot of holiday cheer. you could feed 21,000 families of 4 every week for an entire year. or how about sending 2,600 students to a private university for 4 years. and if you're not feeling particularly giving this season, and just want to get something for yourself, how about these forever diamonds, part of the debeers group of companies. with a $2 million price tag. you can afford all 16 pieces that we have here. ladies, you have some, as well. i believe that you could actually afford them 158 taimes over. >> that's good. >> it's a little heavy. but i'd take it. >> yeah. >> i can't get this on. but i will. i will. it does fit. >> if the desk is empty in a minute because you all run away with the jewels. >> do i have to give this back? >> just happen to leave. and just happen to have a diamond necklace on. >> thanks, guys. sflmp we're going to move to washington now, and a major blow to the spy agency program that collects data on millions of our phone calls. a federal judge has ruled it's almost certainly unconstitutional. a decision that will spark more action in congress and confrontation at the supreme court. abc's jon karl is at the white house with more. and the administration says they will review the decision. but their position has been, it's constitutional and keeps us safe. >> reporter: that's right, george. the president himself has said point blank that this program saves lives. he said that no fewer than 50 terrorist plots have been broken up thanks to this program and a similar one that tracks internet traffic. but the judge seemed to take issue with that. saying, there's an utter lack of evidence that a terrorist attack has ever been prevented by this program. and in stark language, he said it is clearly unconstitutional and an invasion of privacy. saying, quote, i cannot imagine a more indiscriminate and arbitrary invasion than this systematic and high-tech collection and retention of personal data. on virtually every, single citizen. i have little problem believing that the author of the constitution would be aghast. >> reporter: this will now go to the supreme court. that's right. and there are several other legal challenges to this law. they will all be brought together and go to the supreme court. but nobody doubts this will ultimately be decided by the supreme court. >> and quickly. a new abc news/"washington post" poll out this morning, showing the president is still stuck at some of the lowest approval ratings of his presidency. >> reporter: yeah, and look at this, george. asked who do you trust to handle the country's problems? the country is evenly divided between president obama and the republicans. that's quite a change from last year, when you saw the president had a big 15-point advantage over republicans. now, the country is saying, either one, about the same. >> it's been a rocky year for the president. thanks very much. you see behind us, the snow is beginning to fall. it's a new hit slamming the northeast, while wildfires blaze along the california coast. ginger zee, very busy, tracking all of it. >> listen, coast to coast, we have issues. we want to start on the east coast, because that is where people are getting on the roads and getting out this morning. it's not going to be easy. just a little bit of snow, people start to slip and slide. that's going to go on. one to three inches. this is a clipper system. and just that. it moves very fast through. but morning hours are going to be a mess. anywhere from philadelphia to new york city to boston. just because of this. and interior could get more snow. want to show you snow totals, how much to expect. it's not a ton. it could be a dusting to just over an inch. boston at two. but again, we're talking also about the west coast. they're hot. they're very dry. 94% of california in moderate or greater drought. this morning, it's an all-out assault. more than 300 firefighters, frantically battling a wild blaze. chewing away at big sur, california. at least 15 homes have been destroyed, nearly 100 people forced to evacuate the area. >> we've been told to pack some bags and prepare, in case we do get evacuated. >> reporter: the flames, roaring through about 500 acres. officials hope they will contain the blaze this week. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. but much of california is experiencing the driest calendar year on record. >> big sur is historically one of the wettest places in california. and we've had virtually no rain here all year. >> virtually no rain there. san francisco, many places, i'll be hitting more on how that drought is affecting all of california and the west, coming up. >> things looking better tomorrow. >> did i hear 50s this weekend? >> by the end of the week, we're much warmer. that sounds so balmy, doesn't it? >> sure does. let's go to abc's amy robach in for josh, with the top stories. >> we begin with major changes at doctors offices across the country. and that could influence the drugs that you're prescribed. glaxo smithkline has become the first major pharmaceutical company to say it will stop paying doctors to promote its drugs. that's a long-standing industry practice many view as a conflict of interest. it comes as glaxo faces a bribery investigation in china. a new report out this morning is questioning billions of dollars in your taxpayer money spent in washington this year. among the highlights, or lowlights, depending on how you look at it, $630,000 spent by the state department to increase the number of likes on its facebook page. $914,000 to study romance on the internet. and $3.5 million to cover airport solar panels with tarps so they don't reflect the blinding sun. a total of $30 billion in spending is highlighted in senator tom coburn's report on government waste. a must-read. a new shakeup at the vatican. pope francis has removed an outspoken critic of abortion and same-sex marriage from a powerful post at the church. conservative cardinal raymond burke was head of the vatican's highest court. this move is seen as reinforcing the pope's vision for a more inclusive church. today, he spent his 77th birthday visiting with the homeless. back here at home, the baltimore ravens gave detroit the boot. the boot off the kicker's foot. justin tucker. six field goals. 61-yarder, putting the ravens ahead for good, with less than a minute to go. they win, 18-16. finally, it's no fun digging your car out of the snow for anyone. not even a king. but look at this. that is the king of jordan, king abdullah ii. he felt so sorry for one family stuck on the side of the road that he stopped and he joined other good samaritans pushing their car out of the snow after a freak storm. look at that. a true man of the people. and nowadays, there's always a camera to catch all of that kindness we're happy to spread joyfully today. now, the manhunt for carjackers that gunned down a young attorney in a new jersey mall. police are looking for the killers of justin friedland, as he tried to save his wife. abc's reena ninan has the story. >> reporter: the ambush took place on the second floor of the parking garage sunday night. 30-year-old dustin friedland, and his wife, jamie, both lawyers, their arms full of packages, were headed back to their car around 9:00 p.m. friedland opened the passenger door for his wife and was heading to the driver's side when two men approached. demanded keys and fired shots. one of them killing friedland, the other one ordered his wife out of the car. then, took off in the range rover. an anonymous tip led police, to this boarded up house, where the victim's stolen range rover was found abandoned. with the back window shattered and inside damaged. friends and family of the victim coping with the unbearable news. friedland's uncle releasing a statement to abc news. i want the punks responsible to pay. i want them to die. i want them to get what they gave. >> he was a tremendously loving, kind guy. it's really just a tragedy and senseless violence. >> reporter: police are still searching for the suspects, lara. >> thank you so much, reena. now, new safety concerns about anti-bacterial soap, used by so many of us. the fda is cracking down, now asking companies to clearly show that benefits of these soaps outweighs any health risk. and dr. richard besser is here to tell us about it. >> this is big. for the first time, the fda is taking a move against the companies that make anti-bacterial soaps. and the reason for that is there's concern about safety, as well as whether they work. the companies say they've been able to show they killed germs. the fda wants them to show now that they also keep us healthier. and the reason for that is there is concern that some of the chemicals in these products can promote resistant infection and act like hormones in our body. >> do the opposite of what we're hoping for. do we use them?

neal karlinsky has the story. >> reporter: seven months after 25-year-old brittany royal was found strangled and dumped in the waters off hawaii's big island, family and friends are wondering if the main suspect, her 23-year-old boyfriend, bo johnson, might actually be a victim, not a killer. >> we're so in needing to find out mode that it's blocking the grief process, which has been really difficult for us. >> reporter: brittany and bo recently told their families she was pregnant. they were living in this tent, while visiting ohio, while bo was looking into buying land on the island's famed lava fields and starting a tour business. he vanished at the time of the murder, leaving behind his i.d. police have called him a suspect. but anonymous letters and flyers have turned up on the island, claiming that bo was targeted by the real killer. because of his ambition to buy native land. haole, a term for white man, had to be killed before he buy land, to send a message. another note talks about both being murdered on the lava fields. and asks the killer to confess. >> there was a man who came to our house, when i lived with bo in hawaii. and he came and threatened our lives because we had trespassed on what he considered his property. >> reporter: but in a statement, police tell abc news, nothing has changed. our investigation, thus far, has identified boaz johnson as the suspect. the case remains very active. if bo did pull off the murder, he would have to escape a hawaiian island with few resources and no i.d. if he didn't do it, a killer is still on the loose. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> thanks to neal karlinsky for that. we turn to the georgia high school senior suspended from school for hugging his teacher. you see it right there. he said it was innocent. school officials say it was sexual harassment. it was all caught on camera. you can reach your own judgment. here's abc's john muller. >> reporter: take a look at this surveillance video. watch as 17-year-old sam mcnair comes up behind his teacher to give her a hug. seemingly innocent enough. not according to gwinett county's rules. the high school senior is being suspended from duluth high school until next december, which means he won't graduate on time. >> my heart dropped. my future is flashing by in my head. and i'm just like, oh, my god. this is happening. >> reporter: let's watch the hug again. according the a discipline report, the teacher alleged that mcnair's lips and cheeks touched the back of her neck. >> she explained what didn't match what i did. and i'm like, wow. this is crazy. >> reporter: mcnair's mother, april, was shocked to hear the news. >> i'm like dumbfounded, really. it's crazy how the incident happened and brings such a harsh punishment on derailing a child's future. >> reporter: the gwinett county schools would not be interviewed. they did release a statement saying, hearing officers consider witness testimony. a review of the known facts and a student's past disciplinary history when determining consequences. mcnair's mother is appealing the decision. the teen does have a disciplinary record, which includes past suspension. but none were the result of sexual harassment. overnight, reaction from parents and teammates. >> i can see if you suspend him for a week or two. but not a whole year. >> sam is a hugger. he always says, if you give a hug a day, it might change somebody's day. >> i'm afraid to give anybody a hug now. >> reporter: for "good morning america," john muller, abc news, new york. let's talk about this with abc's legal affairs anchor dan abrams. >> the headlines everywhere, were student suspended for hugging teacher. when you actually watch that video, and according to her, this was more than a hug. you see at the end there, it appears that he is trying to kiss her on the back of the neck. why isn't this teacher entitled to a sexual harassment-free zone? this is not like the 6-year-old we read about, where he tried to kiss a classmate. this is a 17-year-old senior here. who, he's not just hugging, but appears to be trying to kiss. >> kind of a blind side there. >> yeah. and you see her at the end, sort of push him off. this is an unwanted touching. imagine if this would happen in the workplace. >> so an infraction no doubt. but a year's suspension? >> it's a tough sentence. they said he was in trouble before. that's why he got the stiff sentence. i remember when i was in high school. i got in trouble. i got in trouble again. and a snowball i threw landed near a teacher and i got suspended. >> dan? you did? >> i did. i did. >> where is nancy grace when -- >> now, to this day, i would claim that i was not targeting the teacher with a snowball. i happened to be throwing it and it landed near the teacher. nevertheless, my past behavioral problems got me suspended. >> to your point here, this is not about zero tolerance. this is a pattern of behavior. >> a year is a stiff sentence. and i would expect that as they appeal this, maybe the sentence gets reduced. but the notion this was an innocent young man who just was suspended for a little hug, i think is a bit misleading. >> okay, dan abrams, thank you very much. let's get the weather from ginger. >> 6-year-old dan abrams, tossing that snowball. this could be the driest year on record for california, once we end it up. we don't know that quite yet. it is also a very hot one the last couple of days. everybody sleeveless on the beach. we're not jealous at all, through my teeth, that's what i'm saying, because i mean it. let's look how dry, though. this has been a big issue. san francisco, normal precipitation, 18 1/2 inches. to this date so far, we have had just over three. los angeles could end up with the driest. redding, san diego. all with very little rain. redding usually has 31 at this point. that's big. and all of the warmth, all of the sleevelessness. some of that air will try to push north and east. look at this. these are the numbers we're talking about. george, lara, everybody. philadelphia goes to 52 by friday. d.c., up to 58. we're close to 60. new orleans and memphis, you're warming up, too. into the 70s, new orle >> in so many places, we have the hard ice crusty on the sidewalks and the road. it will be nice to try to melt a little bit of that. >> sure is. >> it's really starting to come down. >> flurries. one more day. >> you have to love walking in messy, gross snow. >> it's pretty up here, though. coming up, the war over that warhol painting of farrah fawcett go to the jury, after emotional testimony from her former "charlie's angels" costar j jaclny smith. and the mom going viral after what she calls an honest tore rail for her post-pregnancy body. how she says that fit mom has it all wrong. ♪ attention... he went to jared. he went to jared.

>> you know, this movie presented itself with a unique opportunity. and i love kind of performing as ron burgundy. and so, when we had our first marketing meetings with the studio, i kind of put it out there that i would be up for doing a lot of stuff in character. and it's great. it kind of tells the story of the movie in a different way, without having to just do the standard interview thing. and it's -- it's -- everything we've done has been unique in its own way. and people have loved it. >> yeah. and we used -- >> exactly. the news itself, all the news outlets, give us a whole second wave of promotion because they show all the stuff. >> i'm glad you mention that. do you find a subtle irony or not so subtle irony in the fact that the news -- we love the movie. and yet, there are some not-so-subtle jabs. >> a not -- yes. not a subtle irony at all, that ron burgundy is celebrated by the media itself. and he's a horrible journalist. he would never be hired by anyone in real news. but i think in a way, all the news outlets like to know that they're still being looked at and paid attention to. >> we all laughed so hard. but there were some moments where there was some cringing. >> yeah. >> when ron discovers that car chases equal ratings. >> yes. yes. yeah. i mean, that was kind of what was fun about doing this movie was to make a real funny, broad pg-13 movie. and at the same time, have a little satirical edge to it. >> let me set up the premise. so, you try -- you do reassemble the gang, the team, for a very big opportunity. and i'm going to show a clip right now where you all are back together. >> yes. >> and you are reminiscing. take a look. >> one other time you dared to chug that beer stein full of woolite. >> he did it so quickly that he said that's the equivalent of drinking poison. >> oh, lord. >> i was in a six-month coma. they said from the neurological damage, there's no way i live past 55. >> you got three years left, my friend. >> how was that, being with the guys? >> just reminiscing about -- yeah. horrible stuff. it was great. i mean, we kind of picked up right where we left off nine years ago. and you know, i'm very good friends with steve and paul and david. and so, to kind of get the band back together, so to speak, was great. >> we had james marsden on yesterday. he's the new part of the team. >> he's an ugly guy. hard to look at. >> yeah. and you definitely enjoyed poking fun at that. he was telling us about literally 20-minute takes, that you and adam, adam mckay, the director, would just let it go. >> and that's one of the great things about shooting on digital is you can just go for literally 20 minutes. and it's a great tool for improv and comedy and that sort of thing. we have an alternative cut of the movie, that will probably be on the dvd, with 300 brand-new jokes. >> oh, my. and trying to keep it together, i imagine, would be -- >> no, it's impossible. that's the fun of you know it's working well. of that joy in performing translates on the screen. >> your costar, another costar, baxter, the dog, has been with us all morning. he's coming here with questions from the fans. >> i'm surprised. he would not talk to me all morning. >> he is a little jealous. baxter, thank you so much. he has a card that reads, ron burgundy, please tell us the secret to such great hair. >> oh, the secret to such great hair. you have to condition. >> conditioning is everything? >> yeah. yeah. a leave-in conditioner, if you can find one. and get at least 15 hours of sleep a night. >> wow. minimum. >> that really, you know, teases the hair follicles. >> you said that ron burgundy is based on mort crim. >> well, that was the initial idea for the first movie. is watching mort kind of talk about his relationship with jessica savidge, way back if the day. and i did pattern off his voice. i thought it was funny that here he was, he had been retired for years. and he still spoke like a newsman. ron, there's a little shade of mort. >> anybody today that embodies the spirit? >> well, i would say there's -- sam champion's left us. so -- quae, yeah. >> beautiful hair. >> beautiful hair. great teeth. i'm glad he's not here. i would be nervous to meet him. yeah, yeah. >> will ferrell, we thank you so much. baxter, we thank you.
