Livingstone College athlete dies in crash involving off-duty sheriff's deputy: Wednesday, Dec. 28.
A Rowan County college is mourning the loss of a basketball player who died in a car crash on Monday. Eric Henderson, 21, a Livingstone College sophomore who played on the team's basketball team, died in a crash on Monday in Cumberland County, N.C. Investigators told WRAL that Henderson's car crossed the center line and hit a pickup truck driven by an off-duty Cumberland County deputy on U.S. Highway 13 just north of Fayetteville. Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash. The involved deputy was injured but is expected to recover. Family members said Henderson was on his way back to college after a Christmas visit, according to WRAL.

Will somebody go into the new year half a billion dollars richer, or will the latest huge lottery prize keep growing? The winning numbers for the Tuesday, Dec. 27 Mega Millions drawing were 9-13-36-59-61 and Mega Ball 11. The jackpot was last won on Oct. 14, with 20 drawings going by since then without a big winner. The $565 million prize is for the annuity option, which is paid out annually over 29 years. The cash option would pay $293.6 million. It's been a record-setting year for lottery games — even Tuesday's full prize pales in comparison to the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won in November by someone in Southern California.
