Ear to the ground:
“I’m off to Vegas tomorrow to celebrate my mom turning 65. Why yes, we are going to see ‘Menopause the Musical!’”
– A slightly different take on the “What Happens in Vegas” adage.
According to a press release from the Colorado Lottery, a $1 million Powerball ticket was sold on Sat., Feb. 23, at the 7-2-11 Food Store at 1854 Main Ave., in Durango.
Only problem is, the lucky winner, who earned the $1 million prize by matching five numbers with no Power Play, is still at large. The winning numbers were: 2, 5, 31, 39, 41 and the Powerball number was 29. If the Power Play option was purchased for an additional $1, the ticket would have been worth $2 million – enough for a hotdog and biggie Slurpee every day for life. Nevertheless, the $1 million should buy plenty of Slurpees as well.
The store will receive $2,000 for selling the winning ticket.
Proceeds from the Colorado Lottery’s games – Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto, Cash 5 and Scratch - go to trials, recreation and open space projects through Great Outdoors Colorado, the Conservation Trust Fund and Colorado State Parks.
The Lottery has contributed $2.4 billion to the state of Colorado since 1983.

Please pass the peas
With Selection Sunday just a little more than a week away, basketball fans across the country are already penciling in their brackets. But, during this time, many men are also penciling in something else. March Madness has become the most popular time of year for men to schedule the all-important but oft put-off vasectomy.
With Selection Sunday just a little more than a week away, basketball fans across the country are already penciling in their brackets. But, during this time, many men are also penciling in something else. March Madness has become the most popular time of year for men to schedule the all-important but oft put-off vasectomy.
According to Dr. Jesse Mills, of The Urology Center of Colorado, in Denver, the decision to have the surgery to coincide with March Madness is a slam dunk. “Urologists across the country have seen a substantial increase in the number of men scheduling vasectomies during the NCAA tournament over the past few years,” she said. “It makes sense. Since the surgery involves a brief recovery period why not schedule it when you can watch six college basketball games in a row?”
So, if you’ve been getting the full court press to have a vasectomy or the shot clock is winding down on your chance to have your vasectomy reversed, now may be the perfect time to schedule the snip.
Just make sure to have plenty of frozen peas on hand.
