MIRACULOUSLY THE DRIVER CLIMBED OUT OF HIS CAR...AND WALKED AWAY FROM THE SCENE OF THIS....AND HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. A CAR...TEETERING ON THE EDGE OF THE I64 BRIDGE IS WHAT MANY MOTORISTS SAW DRIVING INTO THE CAPITAL CITY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. 00:22:19 "YEA! ITS REAL SCARY!" CHARLESTON POLICE SAY AN AFTERNOON RAINSTORM MADE THE ROADS SLICK...CAUSING THIS CAR TO SPIN AROUND SEVERAL TIMES...STOPPING WITH ONE TIRE CATCHING THE CAR FROM FALLING.

Return to Story IndexWHO HIT THE POWERBALL JACKPOT?
BUT THE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION STILL REMAINS... WHO IS THE WINNER? CRISTINA MUTCHLER HAS THE STORY. "Match this number and you're always a winner. Tonight it is, 11." AT LEAST ONE PERSON WOKE UP SUNDAY AN INSTANT MULTI-MILLIONAIRE. "My brother called me about 7:00 this morning from North Carolina. He said, 'Please tell me it was you.'" AND THE WINNER BOUGHT THE LUCKY POWERBALL TICKET HERE. A PUBLIX SUPERMARKET IN ZEPHYRHILLS, FLORIDA. "I bought my ticket here, but I didn't win. (You didn't win?) No. (You know anybody that did win?) No, I'm waiting, though." MANY FOLKS, LOTTO PLAYERS AND ABSTAINERS ALIKE, ARE WAITING TO FIND OUT WHO WON THE NEARLY 600 MILLION DOLLAR JACKPOT -- THE LARGEST IN POWERBALL HISTORY, WITH AN IMMEDIATE CASH PAYOUT VALUE IN EXCESS OF 375 MILLION. FLORIDA LOTTERY OFFICIALS SAY THE WINNER, OR WINNERS, SHOULD TAKE THEIR TIME BEFORE CLAIMING THE PRIZE. "This is a lot of money. It's clearly life-changing. So they have 60 days to come forward. We would urge them to seek legal and financial advice before they, before they claim all that money." THE POWERBALL GAME IS PLAYED IN 43 STATES, AND EACH TICKET COSTS 2 DOLLARS. YOUR ODDS OF WINNING... ONE IN MORE THAN 175 MILLION. "Well, you know, the odds are so much against it. I mean... Well, maybe not. (laughs)" BUT EVEN THOSE WHO WEREN'T SO LUCKY THIS TIME AROUND, ARE EXCITED FOR WHOEVER DID WIN IT BIG. "I'm thrilled for whoever did it. And I hope that they're wise, and they're generous, and they live a good life." I'M CRISTINA MUTCHLER REPORTING. THE WINNER WON'T REMAIN ANONYMOUS FOR LONG. SINCE THE FLORIDA LOTTERY IS A STATE AGENCY, THE WINNER'S NAME WILL BECOME PUBLIC RECORD. BUT THE WINNER, OR WINNERS, CAN CHOOSE NOT TO DO A PRESS CONFERENCE OR PUBLIC APPEARANCE - GIVING THEM AT LEAST A LITTLE CHANCE FOR PRIVACY.

AS EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR JENIFER MCANDREWS EXPLAINS YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING A PIECE OF HISTORY. MANTLE, WILLIAMS, RUTH. BASEBALL ICONS. MILLIONS OF FANS WHO LOVE THE GAME COLLECT MEMORABILIA. ONE FATHER "THOUGHT" HE HIT A HOMERUN WHEN HE WON AN ONLINE AUCTION FOR THE JERSEY OF HIS SON'S FAVORITE PLAYER. "I was devastated; I bought the jersey for my son to give him as a present. He is a huge Arod fan. And I was told it was fake I felt victimized." DAN DIDN'T WANT TO SHOW HIS FACE BECAUSE HE STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HE LOST 32-HUNDRED DOLLARS IN THIS SCAM. HE BOUGHT THE JERSEY OFF A SITE CALLED VINTAGAE AUTHENTICS. DAN WAS TOLD HE WON A JERSEY A-ROD WORE IN 1997 WITH THE MARINERS - HE QUICKLY LEARNED OTHERWISE. "There was an event where Alex Rodriquez was signing jerseys and I approached AROD. His representative said it was a fake." POSTAL INSPECTORS INVESTIGATING DAN'S CASE BOUGHT SOME ITEMS FROM THE SITE, THEN WENT TO THE TEAMS. "The team looked at the material on the name plates and confirmed it is not the same material used in the jersey - they also looked at the color of the names and the graphics on the jerseys." BOTH THE OAKLAND ATHLETICS AND SEATTLE MARINERS CONFIRMED THESE JERSEYS WERE FRAUDS. INSPECTORS SAY THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM, IN FACT, SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN. "If they receive the item they may have hung it up on the wall and they are happy with their purchase. They never would have known they were a victim." DAN TRIED TO CONTACT VINTAGE AUTHENTICS, TO NO AVAIL. "When I found out it was not an authentic jersey I contacted the company and asked for my money back - least to say I never got my money back." JENIFER MCANDREWS... EYEWITNESS NEWS. THE OWNER OF VINTAGE AUTHENTICS WAS ARRESTED AND IS STILL AWAITING SENTENCING. THE BEST ADVICE, BE CAUTIOUS WHEN BUYING MEMORABILIA AND WORK WITH WELL-KNOWN REPUTABLE COMPANIES.

BRINGING THE LEVEL OF DEBT FOR AMERICAN HOUSEHOLDS.. THE LOWEST SINCE TWO THOUSAND SIX. THE NUMBERS RELEASED BY THE NEW YORK FEDERAL RESERVE SHOW THE LEVEL OF HOUSEHOLD DEBT FELL BY A HUNDRED TEN BILLION DOLLARS.. MAINLY BECAUSE CONSUMERS REDUCED THEIR MORTGAGE BALANCES AND USED THEIR CREDIT CARDS LESS. THE DECLINE IS CONSIDERED A GOOD SIGN FOR THE ECONOMY.. AS WITH FEWER LOANS TO PAY OFF AMERICANS ARE IN A BETTER POSITION TO SPEND AND DRIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH HIGHER... ESPECIALLY IF THEY BECOME MORE CONFIDENT ABOUT THE FUTURE.

Return to Story IndexLOCAL MASTECTOMY PATIENT
EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER KATY BROWN SPOKE WITH A LOCAL WOMAN WHO MADE THE SAME CHOICE AND HAS MORE ON HER STORY.... "it's not the end of the world, life does go on." That realization came after doctors gave Mindi her choices... Chemo...Radiation...mastectomy...all common approaches to fight cancer. "my choices brought me to remove both of my breasts. i decided that that was the best thing for me." Mindi only had cancer in one breast...but because of her family history and knowing the risks...she opted for the double mastectomy. An option she chose since she found out her news early. "the key to every thing is early detection i can't express how important that is. that's what saved my life." and now mindi hopes her story of courage and strength is something that will not only make other's aware of their options if they are diagonsed... but always inspire other's to make a life saving decision. "so many women are scared. they know that mom's had it or not and they don't want to go but if you don't you'll never know and it could be the thing that saves your life." SIGOUT MINDI IS A PAITNET AT THE C-A-M-C BREAST CENTER AND AS SHE SAID IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH HIGH RISK, TO BE SCREENED. C-A-M-C HAS IMAGING CENTERS IN KANAWHA CITY AND SOUTHRIDGE...AND WALK-INS ARE WELCOME AT BOTH LOCATIONS.

Return to Story IndexRESTAURANT NOISE
THAT'S THE THINKING BEHIND A NEW INITIATIVE AT SOME NEW YORK CITY RESTAURANTS. FOX'S ASHLEY MASTRONARDI TELLS US ABOUT THE EFFORT TO SERVE UP SOME PEACE AND QUIET. MASTRONARDI INTRO: "The music is pumping right now at Amali restaurant on the upper east side. But tomorrow night will be much quieter. As part of hearing health turn down the volume night, Amali and 8 other restaurants in NYC will bring awareness to hearing health." JAMES MALIOS OWNS AMALI RESTAURANT ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE. HE SAYS HIS RESTAURANT OFFERS A PEACEFUL DINING EXPERIENCE. MALIOS: "If the restaurant is too loud and I have to constantly ask them to repeat themselves then I don't really have as good of a time." THATS WHY MALIOS IS PARTICIPATING IN TURN DOWN THE VOLUME NIGHT--WHERE SEVERAL RESTAURANTS IN NEW YORK CITY WILL LOWER MUSIC AND LIMIT NOISE FOR THE EVENING --ALL FOR AWARENESS OF HEARING HEALTH. ANDREA BOIDMAN--THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE HEARING HEALTH FOUNDATION--SAYS TURNING DOWN THE MUSIC IS THE QUICKEST FIX. BOIDMAN SAYS AWARENESS IS IMPORTANT SINCE 50 MILLION AMERICANS OVER THE AGE OF 12 HAVE SOME HEARING LOSS. 8 OTHER RESTAURANTS ARE PARTICIPATING IN TOMORROW'S CHALLENGE. MALIOS IS SO INTO THE CHALLENGE, HE SAYS HE'S GOING A STEP FURTHER BY PUTTING SOUND ABSORBING FOAM UNDER HIS TABLES. BOIDMAN: "the essence of communal dining is hearing what people at the table have to say to you." MASTRONARDI TAG: "The restaurant challenge is only the beginning. The hearing health foundation is also asking people to pledge to get their hearing tested this month. For more information you can log onto our website. Myfoxny.com."
