Sorry, guys, some family business got in the way of any purposeful showprep tonight. I think you'll be able to use a couple of these for Friday -- especially the lottery story -- that's gooood.

More drama in the sky!
This time after two children refused to fasten their seatbelts, forcing an Alaska Airlines flight to land in Portland, Oregon instead of Vancouver, Canada. Little detail is being shared, but we do know that the kids and their parents were kicked off the flight and met by police. They were later allowed to continue their journey home. One passenger thought the captain's decision to boot the family off may have been an overreaction. See the story here

Strange!
Should airlines retire the flight number 191? This is bizarre! A blogger for the Wall Street Journal discovered this about the number 191:
JetBlue Flight 191: Two days ago, Pilot Clayton Osbon's erratic behavior caused passengers to restrain him until the co-pilot was able to safely land the plane.
Delta Airlines Flight 191: In 1985, 137 passengers were killed when wind shear caused the plane to crash just before landing in Dallas.
American Airlines Flight 191: In 1979, a DC-10 crashed shortly after take-off from O'Hare in Chicago. 271 people were killed aboard, and 2 were killed on the ground.
Still, JetBlue says it has no intention of retiring flight 191.
Phones/Facebook: Knowing what you know now, if you found out your flight number was 191, would you buckle up?

I Wanna Be Rich!
Even though you have a better chance of dying in an avalanche over the next decade, there is still something so tempting about buying a Mega Millions ticket for tonight's shot at $500-million!
Of course, you can increase your odds by 100% if you spend $173 million and play every possible combination. You'll win, but there's only a 3% chance you'll have the only winning ticket, which means you'll be splitting the winnings. So keep your $173 million and buy an island, or something.
Also, keep this in mind when selecting your numbers: The numbers 48 and 36 have appeared more than any others -- about 11% of the time.
Oh, and don't get in trouble if you're going in for a job interview today and the Mega Millions Jackpot comes up in conversation. Joyce Kennedy was on the Today Show and warned job candidates to tread lightly around this question: "What would you do if you won the lottery?" You answer this way: "While I'd be thrilled to win, I'd still seek out fulfilling work because working, meeting challenges, and scoring accomplishements are what make most people happy." The key is not to be too honest!
