check my ticket, and finding out they won? these are the numbers. i got zero of them. 8, 27, 34, 4, 19. the powerball is 10. let's go to nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer. he's close to victory. he's at the winner store out in los angeles. good morning. >> good morning. three people are waking up hundreds of millions of dollars richer. one of the three tickets was sold inside the store behind me. the 7/11 turn-eleven is turning into a winner. >> reporter: this morning, the powerball pandemonium lives on. shortly after the winning numbers were drawn, residents in california flooded eded their local 7-eleven, joining for an impromptu celebration.

winners here. 7-eleven owner discovered his store sold the winning ticket from news reports. he's set to receive $1 million for selling it. >> i feel very good. blessed. >> winning powerball number. good luck to you. the number 10. >> reporter: winning tickets were also sold in florida and tennessee. the winners will divide the $1.6 billion jackpot evenly. even if all of them decide on the cash option, they'll take home roughly $530 million before taxes. while the winners will fork over hefty federal taxes, all three winning tickets were drawn in states where the winners won't have to pay state income tax on their prize. an extra bonus for three lucky people this morning. >> so far, none of those three big winners have stepped forward or been identified. in addition to those three, more than a dozen other people also hit $1 million for matching many

savannah and matt, many of the suspicions will aarise, if co-workers call in sick. >> if you get calls from your third cousins, you might be a winner. the republican candidates will square off in their first debate of 2016 tonight, and the stakes are high, with the iowa caucuses 18 days away. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is in north charleston, south carolina. good morning to you. >> matt, good morning to you. this is the sixth republican debate and perhaps, more importantly, the second to last before the first nominating contest in iowa february 1st. we've seen donald trump and ted cruz engage with increasingly fighting attacks on the campaign trail. will they shy away from that tonight, or will they keep it up? ted cruz faces new questions this morning about his finances. >> he's been really, really nice, other than the last couple of days, getting a little testy. >> reporter: donald trump still

the tycoon recently turning to the ted cruz, born in canada, to an american mother. trump telling a crowd of thousands he's prepared for anything tonight. >> they attack, but they don't understand that i attack back. >> reporter: cruz holding on to a lead in iowa insists that trump is rattled. >> i think he may shift in his rallies to playing "new york, new york" because he embodies the values. >> reporter: cruz didn't disclose a loan given by gold manman sacks, where his wife works, to fund his candidates. >> the facts of the underlying matter have been disclosed for years. it is not complicated. complicated. >> reporter: the divide between the establishment and outsiders

with trump responding to the obama. >> it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. >> reporter: south carolina governor nikki haley calling out trump as angry. >> i am. i'm angry. country. i am angry. >> reporter: jeb bush admits he misjudged the intensity of anger among republicans, calling it dramatically different than in past elections. the debate stage shrunk to seven. carly fiorina and rand paul cast out. hillary clinton's husband, talking about what it takes to be president, accidentally put his wife in the oval office. >> one of the things i'm proud of, when hillary was president, she did all that. >> of course, donald trump has been channelling voters'age ageeninger anger

he wouldn't want to be on the other side of that. >> i don't like this mic. whoever bought this mic system, [ bleep ] to put it in, i'll tell you. seriously. this mic is terrible. stupid mic keeping popping. hear that, george? don't pay them. >> there's your republican front runner heading into tonight's debate. >> peter alexander, thank you very much. mark is managing editor of bloom bloomburg politics. he interviewed trump last night. >> good morning. >> people are wondering whether the ted cruz story is a big deal or not. i'll ask about that in a second. first, let's play a little bit of your conversation with donald trump. >> well, i heard it's a big thing. i know nothing about it. i hope he solves it. i think he's a nice guy and hope he gets it solved. the reason is, i'm doing very well, and i can understand it.

respectful of my ideas, my whole being. he's been terrific. i just hope it's not a big problem for him. >> mark, ted cruz has already admitted he didn't properly file paperwork with the federal election commission. that is one issue. isn't the bigger issue though a bit of hypocrisy? a guy running as a darling of the tea party, railing against wall street and the big banks and, yet, what people didn't know was that he'd gone to one of the big banks, goldman sachs, where his wife worked, to get a personal loan? >> nothing matters more in presidential politics than defining yourself for the voters. ted cruz is being introduced to the public. donald trump has been in the public for decades. a lot of voters just tuning into the race, one of the first things they learn about ted cruz is he has a financial relationship with goldman sachs, there's nothing worse for the populous.

tonight at the debate. >> we know cruz has somewhat drafted behind trump for most of the campaign. we have seen a little bit of attacks going back and forth recently. do you think the debate is going to come to a head, the gloves are off, or will they play mr. nice guy? >> it's interesting. last night, donald trump, you saw in the clip there, was pretty restrained in this story. i don't think it rules out he'll be amped up more tonight. but he was restrained when we asked other aspects of cruz. i think donald trump is holding back, and i think he will wait to see tonight what ted cruz's posture is. there's no doubt, those two guys, first and second in iowa, first and second in most national polls, those who guys are going to be at the heart of the debate this evening. while people like jeb bush, chris christie, marco rubio, john kasich, try to insert themselves into the story line to make it a three person race. now, it's a two person race.

trump, ted cruz is using what sounds like a funny line, a punch line, but it's not meant to be one. he's calling donald trump a new yorker. he doesn't mean it in a good way. because he's playing to an audience in a certain region of the country, right? >> that's right. look, donald trump last night, the one thing he was defiant on, is this notion of new york values being a negative thing. donald trump invoked 9/11 and said, ted cruz f you want to criticize new york, come through me. the discussion about who is more elite, who is more new york, that could be a real fight. ted cruz went to princeton and harvard. he's got some northeastern ties, as well. that fight, defining the other guy, particularly defining cruz who remains undefined for some voters, that's at the heart of the republican nomination. fight? we'll see it in the debate tonight, for sure. >> let's talk about the democrats. we have a real race going on between sanders and clinton. do you think it's possible that she loses the first two states

nomination, or would that be a crushing blow? >> she could still be the nominee if she loses iowa and new hampshire. the world will be a different place. bernie sanders, neck and neck in iowa, according to our iowa poll. sanders has the lead in new hampshire. you have to say right now, he has the momentum. she'll have to fight her way back. she's doing a lot of television interviews. sanders is showing a sure footing in this as a candidate than he has since the race began. this contest on the democratic side, which has been overshadowed by donald trump and the attention he gets, will be front and center. 18 days or so of extraordinary political drama for the republicans and the democrats. >> thanks very much. we have breaking news in indonesia. happened overnight, terrorists laying siege to the heart of jakarta, carrying out several attacks, including one at a starbucks.

let's go to kelly cobiella. what are you hearing? >> good morning. a news agency linked to isis is claiming the terror group was behind this. according to jakarta's police chief, an indonesian isis fighter in syria had been planning it for a while, he says. a paris-style attack in the heart of the capital with guns and explosives. >> reporter: for hours this morning, downtown jakarta's shopping district was a battlefield, with at least two explosions. this one outside the starbucks. bullets flying between police and five gunmen. it started at 10:00 in the morning as people were heading to work. morning crowds were scattering in fear. this, close to the presidential palace, the u.s. embassy, and the united nations. >> as i got out of the car with my colleague, the second bomb went off, which was another suicide bomb.

attackers had guns, pregrenades and suicide belts. the blast at the starbucks shattered windows, but the company says only one customer was injured and allen employees are safe. it's been 13 years since indonesia's deadliest attack, which killed 200 in bali. seven are dead this morning, including the gunmen. isis is claiming responsibility, saying they were foreigners. >> the indonesian government says they were aware of a threat around the new year, and anti-terror police there made nine arrests. as for the numbers of dead and injured, they've been changing by the hour. police now say all five attackers are dead, along with two civilians and 23 others injured. savannah, the u.s. embassy telling us this morning, no americans are among the victims. savannah?

lets let 2016 be the year of our best bodies. dissipate this morning and we will be left with a partly cloudy sky with warmer temperatures today. but that's short lived. we are tracking a little system that could bring light snow or flurries tomorrow, not expecting accumulation but the big chill will fololow that system. >> that's your latest weather. matt? >> al, thanks very much. new revelations about mexican drug lord el chapo's meeting with sean penn are coming to life, as the actress who helped bring them together is speaking out.

in just minutes, flames can un engulf your entire house. >> i didn't think we'd make it. >> reporter: in an instant, your home, a deadly trap. >> 20, 30 seconds, it went from no fire in the hallway, to stairs were blazing. >> reporter: even firefighters are overcome. >> mayday! mayday! >> reporter: your chance to get out alive is shorter and shorter. research shows 30 years ago, you had about 17 minutes to escape. today, it's only 3 to 4 minutes. turns out, there's a reason newer homes burn faster. you know the saying, they don't build them like they used to? well, they don't build them like they used to. we've come here to chicago, a lab, where we'll do a demonstration. i'm wearing this hard hat and safety glasses so we stay safe. they have two rooms side by side. the first is a flashback to '70s and '80s, how homes used to be built. next door, this probably looks

>> the fire is coming out of the roof. should we leave? >> yeah, let's get out of here. >> that was fast. >> reporter: now, we're going to light up the older home to see the difference. good to go here? >> good to go. >> let's get out of here. two minute ss and the fire is barely noticeable. >> it hasn't even caught the couch yet. >> could be the difference between life and death. >> at 5:00, the flames are just peaking over ing-- peeking over the pillow. then the drapes are catching. >> it's been 26 minutes and the fire is mostly still contained to the couch. it hasn't even spread to this table. it hasn't spread to the coffee table. the fact you can see me and we can stand here, the black smoke is not overpowering. it's taken this long, and you could still get out. it takes 30 minutes for the old

the modern house, less than three. what's being done about it? the furniture industry group telling nbc news, it supports a federal flammability standard for upholstered furniture, but only if product changes are safe, effective and affordable. until then, experts say, there's no time to waste. >> that's why when your smoke alarm goes off, you don't have time to look around to get your wedding pictures. >> get out. >> get out as quickly as you can, jeff. >> there is some good news here. the national association of home builders telling nbc news that building codes make the actual houses safer these days. fire experts say the bottom line, you need to have an escape plan for your family. if you don't know how to create one -- i didn't in my house -- it's not a problem. the red cross has an easy worksheet online. i have a link on my facebook page right now. facebook.com/rossen reports. i urge everybody to go there. we all need a plan. >> and practice it. make sure your kids understand it. >> unbelievable.

parm, but you make real chicken parm. >> sometimes, you have to get your fix. if it's a week night and you want it and want to eat healthy and still, you know, have an easy meal, this is for you. >> there aren't many ingredients. let's look at our food board over here. you're going to make this lighter in a couple of different ways. >> yeah. by not breading and frying the chicken, it's going to cut down on the fat. isn't it all about the melted cheese anyway? >> no, it's all about the fried bread crumb taste and flavor. >> that gets soggy in the sauce anyway. >> how do we start? >> we have an easy sauce going. i started with grated onions and some garlic and olive oil. bring that up too temperarare together. don't put it in a hot pan because it'll bornurn quickly. i'll add crushed red pep`er and -- not yet. >> sorry. >> tomatoes. this is a quick sauce, so use really good quality toe naymatoes and

put some salal and pepper in there. >> sure. >> simmer for 20 minutes then add the fresh basil. you can freeze this ahead of time. >> should we pretend? >>o ahead and put it? >> n n the chicken. i put it between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound it. >> you like it thin, right? >> yeah, it spspads it out to cook evenly. it tenderizes the chicken and makes me feel like i'm eating more if it's big. kind of fools me. to season it, i use salt, garlic powder and pepper. >> again, this is the big change. at this part of the recipe, normally, we'd get the bread crumbs on here. >> normally, we'd be putting it in flour, eggs and bread crumbs. that adds a lot of calories to it. this way, we're cutting it down. i've got it in some olive oil here. brown it on each side. just a couple minutes. it's going to finish cooking in the oven. you don't have to cook it completely right now.

it's a quick recipe. the sauce goessight on top. you want to use an oven-proof skill letet so it can go in your oven to finish cooking. ladle on the sauce. you can serve with extra sauce. >> here's where you lighten it up again. >> i'm using part skim mozzarella. >> you're breaking my heart but it's okay. >> you'll love it. i promise. you're never going to even know it's lighter. >> this is poured on top. how long do you put it in the oven? >> with h hmparmesan cheese. >> about five minutes. >> ifou'll grab the oven door? >> let's check in with our sters downstairs. guys? >> we're busy eating. >> what do you think? >> really good. >> it'sthe spaghetti squash adds the feel of spaghetti. >> the breaded thing, you don't miss it? >> nope.

have been fried? >> she's right, it gets soggy. the cheese is crunchy.y. >> it's all about the melted cheese for me. that's what i love. >> okay. >> you taste it. usually, serve this with spaghetti. i'm using spaghetti squash, a a great alternative. >> natalie liked that. >> i love it. it only has about 42 calories in a cup so you can go to town on that. >> good. >> what do you ink, matt? >> we are g gng to town. >> amazing. flavors are really good. >> for a week night when you're watching it, it's a good way to make a cut. >> any idea how many calories we saved there? >> a lot. >> katie lee, thank you. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. >> for more of this kind of recipe, these lightened up dishes, head to today.com/food.

this is "today" on nbc. zwroo remember, we did the show from the white house. ellen degeneres asked me to smuggle something into the white house. a pencil from her set. she talked about it on the air. >> matt lauer was here the other day, and he was wearing some strap by high heels. did you see them? he walked in, and i love when my guests dress up for me like that. but, yeah, he was on h h way to

even if you moved down the road, moved out of your mom and dad's house, you're going to college or something like that, like everyone -- it's just thaha feeling of knowing that you can't go back to where you came from. i realized that at the time, butut to know that's how universal it was going to be. it's one of these beautiful given. >> it truly is. i love it. it's a great movie. >> congratulations. thank you so much. >> congrats. the three women we spoke to all have something in common, besides having wonoscars. i think wee walked away from interviewing them saying, isn't she great? charming, humble and sweet people. >> and that cent. >> she has theest ory. connected to queens. >> the bronx, i think. >> quickly, you mentioned it, sylvester stallone, best
