...melancholy fog shrouded the moors the night Lord Edgar brought his bride to Mandacrest. Portents of dread creaked in every dank corner of the ancient manor. The bride's sepulchral maid remained loyal beyond the grave to the first Lady Hillcrest, whose portrait was known to bleed when a stray bullet punctured the canvas. On nights when a full moon peeked through the clouds, Lord Edgar's Karloffian butler showed a disconcerting tendency to sprout wolfs hair...

Shortly after hearing that she had won, Weonta Fitzgerald, 64, quit her job as a cleaning woman at Benedictine Hospital in Kingston, N.Y. "I was broke, now I'm rich!" she exulted. But the biggest winner by far did not have to wait in line: New York State, which stands to reap an estimated $11 million in education funds from that one giant jackpot alone...
