"I'd be walking down the street or sat on a bus when a big smile would come across my face and I'd think 'I'm a millionaire!'" That's how Paul Turton described the days following his big lottery win. He won £1 million ($1,557,501 USD) in UK National Lottery's Millionaire Raffle.

It feels absolutely amazing to win the lottery. New lottery winners can dream about all of the exciting things that they could do and all of the ways their lives will change. Paul Turton is no different. He says it feels strange to be a millionaire, albeit strange in a good way.

Paul Turton loves astronomy. He's an amateur astronomer. He's got a decent telescope to engage in his craft. Prior to winning the lottery, he wished he could spend more time on his hobby. But, of course work got in the way. He worked at a supermarket. Now he won the lottery and he doesn't need to work so much anymore. He's going to buy a new and better telescope and spend more time engaging in his favorite hobby - Astronomy!

That's what winning the lottery's all about - Winning the lottery is not just about having a big bank account. Money's money, but having a lot of money lets you do whatever you want to do - In Paul's case, it's astronomy; that's gotta be a great feeling!

It may be strange to be a new millionaire, but it looks like Paul Turton will have a permanent smile on his face. "I think I'll have this smile on my face for the rest of my life," he said. Enjoy it, Paul, I'm glad you won!

At the time of his win, Paul Turton was 41-years-old and living with his parents in England. Aside from the new telescope, he said that he also plans to buy himself his own house.

When people win the lottery, they often talk about all the cool things they will do with the money - Buy a house, buy a car, take a vacation... But not Bridgette Allen. Nope, she just wants to turn the lights back on.

Bridgette and her husband, Lamont, had been having some financial difficulties lately. Lamont lost his job. They got to the point where they couldn't even afford to pay the electrical bills. So they had to shut it off. Ditto for the phone bill. To top it all off, Bridgette also recently adopted her nephew's two young kids because he couldn't properly care for them. In the financial situation that Bridgette and Lamont were in, I'd think that they probably shouldn't have taken on this kind of responsibility, but good for them for doing so - It shows that they're good people.

Then Bridgette Allen won the lottery. She won $100,000 in Virginia Lottery's Cash 5 game. What a relief that was; that money was badly needed. Bridgette and Lamont were then able to get their phone and electricity back. Bridgette Allen finally Turned The Lights Back On!

I can't even imagine not having electricity in the house. Electricity is an essential need these days, but we really do take it for granted. You don't really know what you have until it's gone.

(CNN)–Two weeks ago, Gulnare Free Will Baptist Church in Pike County, Kentucky, voted 9-6 to ban couples in interracial marriages from attending or participating in the church.  But on Sunday, the small church reversed its course.

Pastor Stacy Stepp told CNN affiliate WLEX on Sunday that the church voted unanimously to "accept all people regardless of race, creed, or color and to accept everyone into the fellowship of Christ."  "I tried everything in my power to try to resolve the matter before it got to where it did," Stepp told WLEX.

The problem began in June when Stella Harville, who grew up going to the church, brought her fiance, Ticha Chikuni, who is black, to the small church, where on average about 40 people meet for Sunday worship.  Harville, who goes by the nickname Susie, played the piano, and Chikuni sang a song during the service.

Her father, Dean Harville, a decades-long member of the church, told CNN affiliate  WSAZ he was counting the offering when the pastor at the time, Melvin Thompson, came up to him and said, "Susie and her boyfriend are not allowed to sing in this church anymore.  Furthermore, Susie can take her fella back where she found him from."

That led to the vote on November 27 on a church policy banning interracial couples from attending or participating in services.

"It's racist, that's all you can call it," Harville told WSAZ. "I treat him like he's my own son. You won't find a nicer person," he said about his daughter's fiance, who is originally from Zimbabwe.

Chikuni told CNN affiliate WLEX, "For someone who, like Stella, has been going to that church for all her life, expecting some support from them. But you know, everyone just fell off the bandwagon and passed a really hard judgment on her and on us and the family too."

Stella Harville told CNN's Erin Burnett on Friday, before the church reversed the policy, "I still don't know how to process all this."

Harville grew up in the church but left Pike County to attend college. She told CNN she had known all nine church members who voted to ban interracial couples "since I was a little kid."

The ban led to a massive controversy.

The National Association of Free Will Baptists in Tennessee released a lengthy statement condemning the church policy.

"The National Association of Free Will Baptists does not have an official policy regarding interracial couples because it has not been an issue in the denomination. The Free Will Baptist Treatise neither condemns nor disallows marriage between a man and woman of different races," the statement read in part.

"Free Will Baptists have historically championed the rights and dignity of all people, regardless of race," it continued. It said that national and state officials from the denomination were working with the local church to overturn the policy.

On Saturday, the Sandy Valley Conference of Free Will Baptists, the regional body of the denomination, released a statement saying the church policy was "Null and Void," because the vote was not held in accordance with proper parliamentary procedure.

"Furthermore, Pastor Stepp has advised the conference that he and his church will hold a vote of solidarity for the purpose of welcoming believers into their fellowship regardless of race, creed or color. The Sandy Valley Conference will continue to work with the Gulnare Church to rebuild what has been damaged by this tragic error," the statement continued.

“We will be working with the church if they accept our help,” Keith Burden, the executive secretary of the National Association of Free Will Baptists, told CNN on Monday.

Burden said churches within the denomination govern themselves autonomously and the national denomination cannot impose rules or sanctions on the church, but can only remove a church from the national group.

Burden said he spoke with Stepp before the vote on Sunday and told him the denomination would provide educational materials to “better equip their leaders.” He also encouraged Stepp to take the corrective measures that the church eventually did, with the new vote on Sunday.

“We are genuinely sorrowful and repentant for what happened,” Burden said. “We hope to continue to work to try to prevent this from ever happening again.”

The young couple at the center of all this had not planned to get married at the church, but this incident settled any doubt on the matter, Stella Harville told CNN.

As far as whether she and her fiance would ever return to the church, she said, "I won't say never, but it's going to take a while."

A second elderly woman has come forward to say she was strip searched by Transportation Security Administration agents at Kennedy Airport.

Ruth Sherman, 88, told the Daily News she felt “degraded” after screeners at the JetBlue terminal took her to a private area to check the bulge from her colostomy bag.

“They made me pull down my sweatpants and my underwear,” the Sunrise, Fla., widow said in a phone interview Monday.

“I couldn’t believe it. I said, as a joke, ‘I don’t have a bomb in there.’”

Sherman said the agents let her pull down the clothing herself, but the experience left her shaken.

“I went on the flight and my eyes were crying all the time,” she said. “I was degraded.”

Sherman had spent the Thanksgiving holiday with her son, Ralph, in New York, and was flying back home on Nov. 28 when the incident occurred.

“We called at night to make sure she got home all right and she was in tears and told us the story,” Ralph Sherman said.

He said family members contacted JetBlue and were told the airline has nothing to do with screening and they needed to complain to the TSA, a federal agency.

At that point, he said, his mother dropped the issue — until she saw a story about

Lenore Zimmerman, 85, of Long Beach, L.I., who had a similar ordeal at the same terminal.

Zimmerman said that on Nov. 29 two female agents escorted her to a private room, pulled down her pants and asked her to raise her arms.

In a statement, the TSA said both incidents are under review
, but a preliminary investigation “indicates all screening procedures were followed” — including a ban on “strip searches.’

However, TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein would not provide the agency’s definition of a strip search or say if the agents had Sherman drop her pants and undergarments.

“Our officers are committed to treating every passenger with dignity and respect,” the statement said.

Zimmerman has said she may sue the TSA. Sherman said she’s not interested in a lawsuit.

“I don’t want to relive it,” she said.

Consists of four boxes made from last two draws for November and first two draws for December.  I try to keep it simple - a hit is based on 8 TTT lines plus inside/outside corners - otherwise it generates too many possibilities.

An emotional video showing a teenage student’s distress after years of homophobic bullying has prompted hundreds of messages of global concern and support for him.

“You’re loved.” “We support you.” “It gets better.” “Stay strong.” These are just a few of the encouraging comments flooding in for Jonah Mowry.

As word spreads about the video this week, out gay ex-Star Trek actor George Takei and American author Anne Rice – who is the mother of a gay son – have been among several notables urging people to take a look and spread the word.
