(NEXSTAR) — This summer was marked by not one but two record-setting lottery jackpots that ballooned at the same time. The first to pop was a $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot won in California, and the other a $1.602 billion Mega Millions jackpot hit in Florida.Yet we still don’t know who the winners are. Will we ever? The short answer is yes, but it could be a while. It’s most likely the Powerball winner we’ll get to know first. A ticket matching all six winning numbers drawn on July 19 — 7, 10, 11, 13, and 24, and red Powerball 24 — was sold at the Las Palmitas Mini Market in downtown Los Angeles.  Can a lottery jackpot winner remain anonymous?

But the granddaughter of the store’s co-owner later told Daily Mail that woman wasn’t the winner. The real winner has yet to be confirmed.

Pablo López masterful but Twins fall 2-0 in series finale to Mets

Pablo López has thrown a handful of gems since arriving in Minneapolis. Put Sunday’s masterful performance somewhere near the top of the list.The Twins starting pitcher did everything in his power to lead the team to victory in eight dominant innings Sunday. But he had no offensive backing, and after his departure, the New York Mets tagged reliever Griffin Jax for a pair of runs, sending the Twins to a 2-0 loss in the series finale at Target Field.Jax was greeted by Francisco Lindor, who doubled to lead off the ninth inning. Jax hit the very next batter, Jeff McNeil, with a pitch, and after striking out the Mets’ biggest home run threat, Pete Alonso, right fielder DJ Stewart broke the game open with a two-run double. The Twins threatened in the bottom of the ninth, putting a pair of runners on base, but couldn’t convert on the opportunity.That spoiled a game in which López was near his best.López began his start by allowing a hit to Brandon Nimmo. But hits would be few and far...
