For most of us, a billion dollars is kinda hard to wrap our heads around. To put things into perspective, a million dollars in $100 bills weighs about 22 pounds, while a billion dollars weighs about 22,046 pounds.
First of all, nobody won the big prize. The ultra-mega-monster-giga-xxxl-mac daddy mother of a jackpot has now risen to $1.35 billion dollars, but will almost positively rise as time passes. In the middle of the madness, 13 people across America won smaller prizes (still at least 1 million dollars each). Several of those winners are Floridians. Make sure you check your numbers today, because you may be getting to know your local Ferrari dealer soon! You could also invest in eggs, but a bright red babe-magnet would be far more fun…with less cholesterol. The winning Mega Millions numbers from last night are 7, 13, 14, 15, 18 and the Mega Ball was 9.
According to the lottery website, the current jackpot is now the 4th largest ever and will still be worth $576.8 million dollars even if you choose the cash option. For the record, if you win, you’ll need a truck…a big truck. That much cash weighs 12,672 pounds if you take it all in $100 bills. If a winner is determined on Saturday, it will be the first big winner since October. In the meantime, go to your lottery retailer and see if you won a million dollars or even $3 million dollars!

Golden Globes Winners Last Night
Golden Globes 2023 Winner's List
The 2023 Golden Globe Awards takes place live on NBC and Peacock Tuesday (January 10) night at 8 p.m. ET. It is one of the few awards ceremonies to recognize both motion picture and television achievements. As we’ve previously reported, NBC canceled the 2022 telecast amid an ethics, finance and diversity scandal involving the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization that bestows the awards. Citing extensive HFPA reforms in September, NBC agreed to return the ceremony to its air for an 80th installment — under a one-year trial, the New York Times reports.
“We recognize the HFPA’s commitment to ongoing change and look forward to welcoming back the Golden Globes to NBC for its landmark 80th Anniversary in January 2023,” said Frances Berwick, Chairman, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. Helen Hoehne, President of the HFPA added, “The HFPA remains committed to important changes and supporting programs that prioritize diversity, inclusion, and transparency.”

The HFPA previously announced the introduction of 103 new voters to its ranks, marking the first time international-based voters have been added to the voting pool. This diverse voting body is now represented by 62 different countries around the world. Combined with the current HFPA membership, the total Golden Globe Awards voting body is now 52% female, 51.5% racially and ethnically diverse, with 19.5% Latinx, 12% Asian, 10% Black and 10% Middle Eastern.
Eddie Murphy has been confirmed to receive one of the night’s highest honors, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, given as a way to honor “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment,” per the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The selection is made by the HFPA’s board of directors. Murphy, 61, is a six-time Golden Globe nominee, winning one trophy in 2007 for his critically acclaimed role in Dreamgirls. He was nomimated for 48 Hrs., Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, The Nutty Professor and Dolemite Is My Name. Presenters include Jenna Ortega, Jennifer Hudson, Claire Danes, Cole Hauser, Harvey Guillén, Henry Golding, Hilary Swank, Glen Powell, Jay Ellis, Jennifer Coolidge, Letitia Wright, Mo Brings Plenty, Regina Hall, Salma Hayek Pinault, Billy Porter, Niecy Nash-Betts, Quentin Tarantino, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tracy Morgan, Ana De Armas, Ana Gasteyer, Colman Domingo, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Natasha Lyonne and Nicole Byer. Jerrod Carmichael is hosting the ceremony.

The Best Mocktails In Tampa
9 Tasty Mocktails In The Tampa Bay Area And Where To Find Them
We like to party here in Tampa Bay, but some people have sworn off the hootch for Dry January or trying to live a healthier lifestyle. Conveniently, the mocktail trend has been steadily growing in the area. Whether you’re practicing Dry January or have sworn off alcohol for good, multiple Tampa area bars are catering to everyone and including alcohol-free cocktails in their menu. We went to Yelp to see where the best Mocktails are in the Tampa Bay area and came up with a solid list that included a couple of our favorites that didn’t make Yelp’s list.
Theses drinks are tasty for anyone to order! Maybe you want to join in for an Instagram shot. Or let your kid feel like an adult with a “sophisticated” but fun beverage. One thing to look out for when ordering mocktails is the ingredient “Seedlip.” According to the Tampa Bay Times, Seedlip is known to be “the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic spirit.” You’ll find it as the base ingredient for a lot of these mocktails. A lot of other local restaurants will disguise their drinks on their menu as “Zero-proof” or “spirit free.”
Note that some of these places might change their menu depending on the season. Be sure to check out their website for more info!
Here are 9 tasty mocktails to try in the Tampa Bay Area
The Sophia At Counter Culture
One of the trendiest places in Tampa offers two tasty mocktails on their menu! The Sophia features Seedlip spice, blueberry-rosemerry shrub, lemon, and ginger beer!
Emerald at Velvet Gypsy
Velvet Gyspy is a great little dive bar located in Seminole Heights. Their mocktails are named after gems/crystals! Try the Emerald, made with jalapeno, pineapple and ginger!

Found Weekend at Wild Child
The Found Weekend mocktail at Wild Child in St. Pete has the best reviews we’ve found! It’s made of watermelon juice, lime, agave, and mint!
Bird Of Paradise - Rox Rooftop Bar At Current Hotel
The Rox Rooftop Bar at the Current Hotel in Tampa has 4 different mocktails to choose from! From coffee flavored to tropical tastes, each one sounds so delicious! Each mocktail is made with Lyre’s White Cane Spirit, a non-alcoholic white rum. The Bird of Paradise is made of Lyre’s White Cane, Hibiscus syrup, Fresh Lemon, and Sparkling water!
Strawberry-Basil Refresher at Shaker & Peel
Shaker & Peel have 3 delicious zero-proof mocktails to choose from! They each sounds so refreshing and delicious but our favorite is the Strawberry-Basil Refresher.
La Llorona at Spook Easy Lounge
Spook Easy Lounge located in Ybor is the best place to go for non-alcoholic beverages because well, that’s what they dedicate their menu to! They serve everything from kava, kratom and Delta 8 (all non-alcoholic substances, but still cause some mind-altering effects) as well as botanical teas! Try the La Llorona, A mango-pineapple-chipotle, drowned in bubbles that will haunt your spicy dreams.
Blackbird at Rooster & The Till
Make your way from Velvet Gypsy to Rooster & The Till for your mocktail tour around Seminole Heights. Try the Blackbird, made with blackberry, sage, lemon, and sparkling water!
Ginger "Bourbon" Smash at LaLa Bar In St. Pete
St. Pete’s prime karaoke bar offers 5 tasty mocktails on their menu! For those who really miss the taste of mules should try the Ginger Bourbon Smash! Made with Spiritless Kentucky 74, ginger syrup, lemon, sugar, and mint!
Cinny Bunny at Datz
The Datz location in Tampa has 2 mocktails on their menu to choose from. The Cinny Bunny is apparently Instagram-worthy as well! It’s made with almond milk, cinnamon bun syrup, cold brew, whipped cream, vanilla icing and a mini cinnamon bun! Sign us up!
Honorable Mention: Lucid Zero Proof Lounge - Opening soon!
This one-of-a-kind cocktail bar is set to open in January of 2023. Located at 3102 Lithia Pinecrest Rd, Valrico. Their menu will feature elevated takes on classic cocktails WITHOUT the alcohol. The Apple Pie Old Fashioned and Cocoa Espresso Martini are two drinks we can’t wait to try!
