nevada is one of them. with vegas just 40 miles from the california border, that metro area's population has gone to line up at the first store over the border in california. we no the media spend more time hyping the power ball than a lot of us would prefer. we don't talk about the problems associated with gambling. take time. jonathan gonzalez joins us now. >> reporter: gambling addiction lottery's success. we spoke with a gambling counselor saying too many people are willing to spend their hard-earned money on a gamble. a wish like power ball. >> it is not as well known that gambling can be so problematic. >> reporter: julie smith is a gambling counselor. >> a lot of people lose their money and it is not a calculated loss. >> reporter: she says most people do not budget in their lotto spending willing to pay

a guess. some of the signs of addiction include a pattern of lying when it comes to finances. it is no different than sub tans abuse. >> an easy first test, are you willing to tell people how much you spent. >> reporter: if you are stealing, being seaquariative about your money. it is supposed to be fun. it is supposed be entertainment. if you are seeking an actual pay-out, that is when it could be a problem. >> thanks. still ahead at 10:00, one rolled over truck and thousands of pairs of shoes shut down a highway. then, he is only three years old and out for his first drive on a busy road. how did this happen? >> from the snow to the cold, the forecast for our low temperatures going into this weekend. and, the nfl game that could be one of the coldest in league history. >> and, a new role for broncos

anderson. we will explain later in

>> rubber met the road a thousand times over when a moving truck carrying 32,000 pounds of shoes overturned on a turnpike near miami. highway patrol says five people were inside of the cabin. some went to the hospital. then the cleanup began. crews had to close a ramp to the turnpike and used a bulldozer to clear the piles of shoes. they were donations on their way to haiti and south america. a father in florida is under investigation after his son took a toy car out for a bit of a joyride. the three-year-old drove a small motorized car along a busy highway.

out to help the little guy. withins say he just wanted to keep ongoing. >> it was like get off me. he wanted to keep driving along. >> once the police showed up, the father showed up ten minutes after the fact. he says he locked the front door while his dad was in the restroom. the nfl wild card games will be wilder than the other. a sub zero kickoff expected for the seahawks vikings game in minneapolis. it will be around minus one. the seventh coldest nfl game. and to the conditions there, a breeze can create windchills of 20 below. not fit for man nor beast and marshawn lynch will not play. well, that sounds brutal. a good day to maybe sit on the couch and watch the game. we will be dealing with the cold.

this morning was all about the snow. thanks for sending in your photos including the patio furniture one. one. the two to five range is what we saw at perry park. castle rock close to four. 2.7 in evergreen and morrison. 2.5. we are dealing with a patchy freezing fog out there. this is i-70. lookout mountain, tough for drivers dealing with a quarter mile or less visibility. i'm anticipating the fog to move into the metro denver area. a good cloud deck overhead and traffic not too shabby. this morning about midnight or so, 29 degrees was the warmest time of the day and we have been slowly cooling off. basically staying in the low 40s all afternoon long. and really that is where we are. out of the airport. 20 degrees. the winds haven't been all that impressive. pretty quiet and calm out there. windchill at 20 degrees but humidity up at 85%. there is a lot of moisture to work with out there.

tracking off to the east into parts of texas taking with it all the snow that brought the front range and southeast colorado. we have a counterclock wise action going spinning up a little bit of snow. in the denver area, it is relatively quiet, the moisture is moving out. a couple of flakes floating around overnight early tomorrow morning. no accumulation. you can see the bands of snow going strong all afternoon and evening in southeast colorado are beginning to wind down as well. here's the deal. we will go throughout the remainder of the evening with mostly cloudy skies. the snow showers in the high country wind down, plenty of moisture to work with and the terrain. so i am anticipating maybe a little more snow to roll back into the forecast by tomorrow afternoon. west of the continental divide. you may have a few flakes falling while you are cruising down the slopes. here we will stay dry. the i-25 corridor a mix of sun and clouds. single digit temperatures once again tomorrow.

to the cold. you can see the huge trough deepening around here. the polar air dips in and invades parts of the upper midwest. minneapolis again is going to be biting coming up this weekend. tonight, the single digits. eastern plains as well. one degree in sterling. three in leadville. alamosa, 0 for you guys. 8 here in town with the snow winding down. it will be really cold. look at tomorrow. 0 in bismarck. 6 in minneapolis. makes our 25 look not that bad. cool air will be on the fringe of colorado. we will stay in the mid 20s around the state. that will be about 20 degrees cooler than where we should be this time of the year. we stay in the 20s around the foothills as well. 21 in loveland. low 20s in ellington and eatonton. a couple of seasonal days. wednesday and thursday in the

>> from colorado's sports leader, here is rod mackey. >> if we were on the eve of the nhl playoffs instead of the nfl playoffs, the avs would be in. colorado is tied for the final spot. that after winning their third game in a row tonight. the avs beat national in a thriller. jarome iginla scored his 601st career bole tonight tieing him with curry. fast forward to the third. not anymore. tyson barrie plays hero. what a game. what a win. avs take it the final score 5- 3.

the linebacker is an all-pro. in his contract year. the only bronco. mike has more in his notebook. >> reporter: there was a lot of talk today that the number one defense should have had more than one first all team selection. but instead the honor did go to denver's best defensive player and that is von miller. interesting that miller's 11 sacks this year were only the fourth most in his five year career. yet, he deserved this honor because he is the one guy opposing offense's game plan against. >> we led the league in sacks. he was the guy. he got a lot of sacks but he also got double teamed a whole lot. it really helped the overall pass coverage. >> it shows the type of defense we had. you don't get the players on defenses that are not good. we have a great team. >> reporter: as for the all pro team overall, some changes need to be made. it is ridiculous they gave an

when not one team plays that position full time. it is also a joke the raiders kalil mack was named two all pro positions. i don't care what he says. mack isn't that good. former broncos coach john fox liked to say we don't want pro bowlers around here. we want superbowlers. perhaps a month from now, we will find out if this team is more about getting the ring than it is about the individual honor. >> mike, thank you. former bronco marlon brisco who was a quarterback in nebraska. one of 15 member to be inducted into the hall of fame. a former buff is in as well. herb orbit. he was one of the best pass rushers in cu history. and all american back in 1971. the 69-year-old is the eighth buff to be enshrined. finally, i didn't make it to

kirk found someone far better and far more knowledgeable to ask questions. c.j. anderson. >> the last couple of weeks in the season, you have been averaging wild numbers. what has it been? [ laughter ] >> uh, you know, c.j. anderson gets in there and breaks them down. i just follow up with a run in. and a full back too. >> he doesn't seem to laugh as hard when i ask questions. >> c.j. is a better football player. a better bowler and a better reporter. >> better dancer. >> yikes. >> i have seen you dance, t him. >> i'm in trouble.
