Today’s Good News 1-11-23

The big Mega Millions drawing was last night, but another lottery story is also in the news.  Someone in Wisconsin hit a $15 million jackpot last week.  And the winning ticket was sold in the town of Luck, Wisconsin.  No one knows who the lucky Luck resident is yet………………..A new study found listening to music has probably helped a lot of people deal with pandemic-related stress the last few years, especially when covid first hit. A quote from the study said, “Listening to music in daily life was significantly associated with lower levels of stress during the [lockdowns].”……………….And finally……….. 

Here’s a trend we hope continues:  A TikToker in MD named Rory McCarty recently met an 82-year-old Walmart cashier named Butch Marion, who’s a Navy vet.  And Butch was so nice, Rory started an online fundraiser, and raised over $100,000 to help him retire. He gave Butch a giant check after his final day of work last week, and they both got pretty emotional. There was a story in November about someone who did the same thing for an elderly lady at a Walmart in New Jersey.  Rory says that story is what inspired him to do it. (Butch’s GoFundMe is now up over $140,000.)
