New Jersey Lottery Player Strikes $22M Jackpot in Pick-6 Drawing

A life-changing windfall has arrived for one lucky lottery player in New Jersey, thanks to Saturday’s Pick-6 drawing held on October 25, 2025. The winning ticket successfully matched all six numbers — 06, 07, 13, 15, 36, and 45 — to claim the top prize valued at an impressive $22 million annuity. According to the New Jersey Lottery, this jackpot win was the only top-tier match in the drawing. Other prize tiers awarded included $2,342 for matching five numbers, $36 for four numbers, and $2 for three matches. Lottery officials have yet to reveal the location where the $22 million ticket was sold. Players across the state are urged to double-check their tickets either online or through an authorized retailer.

 

Clocks Fall Back on Nov. 2 as Daylight Saving Time Ends for 2025

  As the fall season continues, Americans are once again preparing to adjust their clocks. Daylight Saving Time will officially come to an end on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2 a.m. local time. At that moment, clocks will roll back one hour, offering an extra hour of sleep and shifting daylight to earlier in the morning. This year’s change arrives slightly earlier than in 2024, when the time shift occurred on November 3. Since 2007, the schedule has remained consistent, with clocks “springing forward” on the second Sunday in March and “falling back” on the first Sunday in November. This timeline was established by congressional legislation and has remained unchanged. The idea of changing time has a long and sometimes controversial history. Benjamin Franklin jokingly proposed it in 1784 as a way to save candles by waking up earlier. Over a century later, George Hudson of New Zealand and William Willett of Britain developed more serious proposals, which led to the first official adoption by Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1916. The United States implemented its own version in 1918, later standardizing the practice through the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Today, support for Daylight Saving Time continues to wane. A 2025 poll found that 54 percent of Americans would prefer to eliminate the time change entirely. The majority favor staying on standard time year-round, while a smaller portion would prefer to keep Daylight Saving Time permanently. The least popular option is continuing with the current twice-yearly shift. Until any official change is made, the practice remains in place. Before going to bed on Saturday night, November 1, people are encouraged to set back any manual clocks, such as those on ovens, microwaves, and vehicle dashboards. Most digital devices like smartphones and computers will update automatically. Don’t worry, we will put a reminder in Saturday’s newsletter!

Nor’easter Damage Forces Ocean City to Request Federal Help

 Ocean City has officially declared a state of emergency in response to extensive beach erosion caused by a powerful nor’easter that struck nearly two weeks ago. The storm severely damaged protective dunes and carved away large portions of the shoreline, particularly between 1st Street and 13th Street. City officials report that the local government lacks the financial resources to independently fund beach replenishment efforts. The state of emergency designation enables Ocean City to seek assistance from state and federal agencies, opening the door for critical funding to support restoration efforts. Local leaders are working closely with state and federal representatives to secure funding for a previously scheduled beach replenishment project led by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Discussions with Congressman Jeff Van Drew’s staff have already taken place, and the city continues to pursue all viable avenues for aid and long-term recovery.
