None of the tickets sold for Friday's $83 million drawing matched
all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The winning numbers were: 5,
8, 17, 19 and 41, and the Mega Ball number was 21.
Six second-prize winners matched the five lotto numbers to win
$250,000 each. Another 44 players each won $10,000 by matching four
numbers and the Mega Ball number.
One California player matched five numbers, and another eight players
matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. The
prize amounts in California are different than what prize winners in
the other Mega Ball participating states would receive.
The next Mega Millions drawing will be held Tuesday night.

NEW YORK (AP)
-- Police are investigating letters that arrived Thursday at Capitol
Hill offices containing a photo of the Times Square military recruiting
office before it was bombed and including the words ``We did it.''
A law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity
because the case is ongoing, confirmed the letter's contents and said
police are investigating.
Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, a Capitol Police spokesman, said she had
received media calls asking about the letter. She said she had made
some initial checks but had not been able to confirm reports of the
letter.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of an e-mail from the office of
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to other lawmakers Thursday that reads:
``A few offices on the House side have received a letter today
addressed to 'Members of Congress' with a picture of a man standing in
front of the Times Square recruiting station that was bombed in New
York today with the statement 'We did it.' He is standing in front of
it with his arms spread out and he's attached his political manifesto.''
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- New York Yankees broadcaster Bobby Murcer was resting in a Houston hospital after undergoing a brain biopsy Monday.
Results weren't expected until later in the week.
An
All-Star outfielder who played 17 seasons in the major leagues, Murcer
had surgery in December 2006 -- four days after being diagnosed with a
malignant brain tumor.
An MRI exam last week showed an area of
concern, which could be scar tissue or another tumor, so Murcer went
back to The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center for
additional tests.
"Bobby is doing great and is resting
comfortably after this morning's biopsy," his wife, Kay, said in a
statement Monday through Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo. "He could be
released as early as tomorrow. Results won't be available until later
this week."
The cabbie who fooled New York
with the heart-tugging tall tale of a baby deserted in his backseat
remained unrepentant last night, insisting, "I did the right thing."
Klever Sailema, who went from .hero to fraud in less than 48 hours,
.insisted his big lie was only meant to mask a benevolent .attempt to
save the adorable 6-month-old girl from being ditched in the cold.
"I feel bad, but ultimately I feel like I did the right thing. My
intentions were not to lie to the police," the 45-year-old livery cab
driver, an Ecuadoran immigrant, told the Daily News.
The baby, now identified as Daniella Perez,
was first abandoned by her 14-year-old mother, who bolted more than a
week ago, leaving the brown-eyed little girl with pierced ears in the
care of her father, .Carlos Rodas, 27, Sailema said.
``They say this place is the world's most famous hotel,'' said
doorman Freddy Davila, who worked for the hotel for 15 years before it
closed in 2005. As he welcomed visitors up the red-carpeted steps and
through the revolving doors, he added: ``It's wonderful to be back.''
``We just had to see inside,'' said Owen Mathieu, visiting from
Marblehead, Mass. ``We've seen it in the movies. Everybody's heard of
it.''
The Plaza, which is a National Historic Landmark, first opened in
1907. Marilyn Monroe was photographed here, the Beatles stayed here and
Frank Lloyd Wright lived here. The hotel ballroom was the setting for
Truman Capote's ``Black and White Ball'' and the wedding of Richard
Nixon's daughter Julie. Movies shot at the hotel include ``North by
Northwest,'' ``Barefoot in the Park,'' ``Crocodile Dundee'' and ``Home
Alone 2.'' Owners have included Conrad Hilton and Donald Trump.
Many fans also know the hotel from children's books by Kay Thompson
about a naughty little girl named Eloise who lives at The Plaza. A
portrait of Eloise hung in the lobby for nearly 50 years; hotel
officials say it will be back up later this spring.
The Plaza's current owners, Elad Properties, originally planned to
convert all guest rooms into condominiums, but the plan was criticized
by preservationists and the hotel workers' union. Negotiations with
Mayor Michael Bloomberg led to a deal that resulted in 282 hotel rooms,
down from the original 805, and 181 apartments.
NEW YORK (1010 WINS/AP)
-- A cab driver who touched of a citywide hunt for the parents of a
baby whom he claimed had been abandoned in his car was arrested
Saturday after police determined his story was a hoax.
Police said the driver, Klever Sailema, knew all along who the child
was, but hid the truth to help an overwhelmed Bronx family abandon the
infant, who had been born to a 14-year-old girl and man twice her age.

The ill-conceived plot collapsed late Friday night and several people were under arrest Saturday.
The arrests were a stunning development in a case that had
captivated the city after pictures of the adorable baby girl were
published in newspapers and broadcast on TV.
Police didn't immediately say what had broken the case open, but a
family friend, Stuart Caban, told reporters that he had brought the
14-year-old mother to police Friday evening after finding her walking
along the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, carrying a newspaper with her
daughter's picture and sobbing.
``She was depressed, scared, crying. She loved her daughter. She
wanted to be with her,'' said Caban, a 23-year-old bail bondsman.
Caban said the girl told her she hadn't wanted to leave the baby,
but ran away after a violent fight with the father. It wasn't clear
whether she knew about the plot.
The 44-year-old cabbie had been hailed as a good Samaritan after he
dropped the baby off at a Queens firehouse Thursday, saying the child,
who was about 6 months old, had been left in his car by a stranger.
