Some Think Powerball Drawing Was Rigged: ABC says the winning numbers for this week's $2 billion Powerball jackpot were drawn yesterday after a technical glitch. The winning numbers were: 10-33-41-47-56. The Powerball was 10. NBC says the lone winning ticket was sold in California.

Let me get this straight...California is the reason there was a delay with the drawing due to "security concerns" and "technical difficulties" and now someone in California won the #Powerball

Dear Fonseca
My family and I went to a very well-known steakhouse on Sunday night. Our meal was ruined by a crying baby at the next table. My husband complained to the manager and asked for a free meal because ours was ruined by the constant screaming. The manager did not relocate the neighboring family to another area of the restaurant. He encouraged us to write a letter to corporate. The manager then said we have no right to ask for a free meal because no one forced us to eat at the restaurant. We disagree and think we are entitled to a meal free from distractions and crying children. We are waiting to hear what corporate says. Do you think we are entitled to a free meal? Should the restaurant have done more?
