Read previewA Virginia man bought 30 Pick 4 tickets, each costing $1 and using the same combination: 1-1-2-9. The chances of matching all four Virginia Lottery numbers in exact order are slim — one in 10,000. Virginia Lottery said in a Wednesday news release that Bickham did the same thing in May last year, using identical combinations on 25 winning tickets in the same drawing. Reflecting on the most recent win, Bickham told lottery officials: "I thought, 'You've got to be kidding me!'" AdvertisementHe said he intends to save his winnings and perhaps use some to do travel, Virginia Lottery said.

Back in 2021, a Danish artist turned in empty frames after being paid 532,000 kroner by a museum for his art. "I am shocked, but at the same time, it is exactly what I have imagined," Haaning told Danish broadcaster DR on Monday, per NPR's translation. However, Haaning refused, and consequently, the Kunsten Museum took him to court, the Guardian reported. And Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan once sold an artwork featuring fresh bananas he taped onto a wall for $120,000. Haaning and the Kunsten Museum did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider, sent outside regular business hours.

☆ Putin denied that Storm Shadow missiles are doing 'critical' damage to Russia, despite them likely taking out a top general and other key targets
  + stars: | 2023-07-14 | by ( Sinéad Baker | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Putin said Ukraine's Storm Shadow missiles have caused some damage, but nothing "critical." The UK-supplied missiles have reportedly killed a key Russian general and hit other strategic targets. The UK's defense minister, Ben Wallace, last month described Storm Shadow missiles as having been accurate "almost without fault" in Ukraine. The Storm Shadow, also known as SCALP, is plane-launched and designed to fly low to evade detection. The UK announced in May that it was sending Ukraine an undisclosed number of Storm Shadow missiles.

"Unfortunately, they are all in the vacuum of Russian propaganda, and nobody tells them what is actually going on," Zolkin told Insider. He said many of the Russian soldiers he interviewed have also since been brought back home.
