the drawing is tonight. you can catch the winning numbers right here on channel 5. we'll carry the drawing live during our 11:00 p.m. newscast. doug: just awesome. by the way, this woman hasn't won powerball yet but don't count her out. jane hoyt from lynn collected $1 million off a $30 scratch ticket in june. and she did it again on wednesday off another instant ticket. she plans on putting her winnings toward her recent retirement. that's a good retirement. antoinette: do you think she keeps on buying tickets and will buy a power ball ticket. doug: it was interesting because i saw $30 scratch on that script this morning. i had been away for a years. i didn't know you could buy a single scratch ticket for $30. antoinette: play big, win big. on the way this morning, a bizarre plot leads to weapons charges against a north dakota man. doug: the alleged plan the guy had for the first family's two dogs. mexico's most wanted escapee is back in custody.

donation. antoinette: sturgeon owns another mansion that he plans to rent out to a second family who suffered great loss when ten tornadoes ripped through northern texas last month. doug: very generous indeed. more like a dallas january than a boston january. mike: we haven't had any cold to talk about. i was listening to the commercial. they're making snow. that's great. doug: a wa-wa-washout. emily: exactly. weather. it's warm enough right now that this is the scene from look at that. point. if you look in boston, we don't have anything falling yet. i have a little bit outside the drizzle that i'm talking about that is barely discernible. you walk out there. i don't know if you even need to this morning. happening. through there. notice the trend on this. as it gets closer to the coast

starts to change over to rain. it was a little bit of mixed snow and then it kind of worked its way eastward into that rain. that's what we'll be dealing with today. spotty showers here or there. you see that line forms right along here. take our radars and scan through there from newbury port down to gloucester. a little bit of mix showing up south of newburyport. as you travel through ipswich steadier shower. here's the steady shower i walked outside into. it isn't much. waltham has steadier shower there. once you get to this line here, right as you're passing through framingham and you're heading out towards westborough, you're probably getting a little bit of snow mixing in with it. again really really light stuff. the only thing i'm concerned about is if you had a surface that was, say, untreated. it might be slippery this morning. right now in boston 40 degrees, gray skies. easterly wind. that will stay that way all day today. we're pretty much going to reflect the ocean temperatures. the ocean temperatures are in the lower to mid 40's at this point. that will allow us to warm up to about 46 degrees. otherwise inland away from that,

pockets of cooler temperatures. a few icy spots this morning. through the next hour or hour-and-a-half we'll be warming up. it won't be an issue at all. heading south of the city temperatures into the 30's and 40's right now. so today cloudy skies. spot drizzle. most of it really this morning 38-46 degrees for your high temperature and easterly wind. then tonight under cloudy skies, it is going to get foggy out there. temperatures will not drop off much at all. the rain will be well after midnight tonight. probably closer to 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning before we start to see anything. let me timeline it out for you. 10:00 this morning a lot of gray skies. spotty showers here or there. drizzle at best. then as we head towards 5:00 in the morning here you start to see a little more activity starting to form up. watch what comes in from the west. this is when the main rain starts to come in. after 9:00 into boston. certainly as we're talking about 1:00 in the afternoon some downpours. and chalk it off to watching thee vee because not much will be going on outside. it will be warm and windy out there but there will be rain all over the place. might even be a rumble of

it all clears away as we talk about tomorrow night. how much rain are we talking about? some places getting close to an inch or possibly a little bit more than that with those downpours. if you're stuck in one of those that rumbles with thunder, you might get close to two inches of rain. as far as records are concerned tomorrow, boston and worcester very close to it. but the other thing you'll notice, the winds. strong out of the southeast, gusting perhaps as much as 50 miles per hour. i wouldn't even be surprise od the cape if we get a wind gust of 60 miles per hour. so there will be some wind and there will be a lot of warm air coming with this. that's why tomorrow it's 56 degrees but look what happens after it. the cold air comes flowing right back in here. we're talking about into the 30's. that snow i've got in there on tuesday night right now it looks like it will pass through here and really blow up into a storm well out over the ocean. we're not going to get much out of it right now. we'll keep a close eye out. the week ahead featuring supposed to be. not the 50's tomorrow. more like the 0's.

8:18 is the time. checking some of the stories the eye is following right now. antoinette: after months on the run, one of the world's most wanted men is now back behind bars. the mexican drug lord joaquin in a shootout with mexican marines. he's been on the run for six months after escaping from prison in july. american prosecutors want him extradited to face charges here related to his drug empire. the national oceanic and atmospheric administration says damage from wintertime floods, like the one along the mississippi river, will top $1 billion. antoinette: a man who allegedly plotted to steal the president's dogs is now facing weapons charges. scott stockert of north dakota was arrested in washington, d.c., on wednesday with a stash of weapons in his car. he allegedly told police he was jesus christ and that he planned to run for president after

dogs. secret service agents say stockert is not a registered gun owner. he was arraigned friday released with a monitoring device. doug: new year's resolutions but if your goal is to exercise more, researchers say you might videos. a new study finds home video workouts can create an unrealistic body image. and they can cause viewers to want to work out less. that's because one in seven motivational statements are actually de-motivating. phrases like "you better be sweating" and "you should be dying now" create a negative association with working out. antoinette: nothing says motivation like that. doug: you're dying. how about, you're doing a great job. antoinette: then you look at the skinny girls and you're like i can't compete. doug: a sports memorabilia

underwear! antoinette: the unique items and just how much they may be worth, and do you want to build a snowman? that's what some nurses asked a very special patient. the effort to make a dream come true. doug: i recognized it with dunkin's chicken apple sausage sandwich. enjoy sweet apple and savory sausage together for under 400 calories. america runs on dunkin'. p on average, it takes three hundred americans working for a solid year, to make as much money as one top ceo. it's called the wage gap. pand the republicans will make it worse by lowering taxes for p those at the top and letting corporations write their own rules. p hillary clinton will work to close the wage gap. equal pay for women to raise incomes for families,

mike: we have a little bit of rain mixing with a little bit of light snow. on the outer fringes you can see it working its way eastward. you'll be running into a little bit of that today. more drizzle than anything else. a few showers here or there. after today we talk about the rain coming in. today is dridzal. tomorrow is full-fledged rain. some downpours out there but look at that. near record warmth and extremely windy. cold temperatures will follow as we talk about next week's weather. doug and antoinette. doug: mike, thanks. might need the long underwear. maybe a special pair. are you a big tom brady fan? antoinette: a big enough fan to buy his underwear? the boxer shorts and t-shirt worn by brady in the movie "ted 2" are going up for auction next week. in brady's scene, mark wahlberg wakes the pats' quarterback up who then throws wahlberg and ted over the balcony. bids for his pajamas will start at $2,500 for each garment. goldin auctions thinks both will go for more than $5,000.

of our successful democracy but apparently often more preached than practiced in the commonwealth. you want to know where your tax dollars are spent and how government's business is conducted. journalists ask the questions and get answers for you, if they can. accessing public records, however, is a hit-or-miss prospect for journalists and citizens alike depending on who you ask. "5 investigates" mike beaudet, working in partnership with "the globe," enlisted the aid of northeastern university students to test massachusetts's response to public record requests. when asked by an average citizen-- in this case, a student at northeastern-- more than half of the commonwealth's 351 cities and towns failed to respond to requests as outlined by state law. nine police departments and six town halls outright denied requests for records, a clear violation of state law. when we ultimately identified ourselves as journalists, the apologies came and so did the records. but the open records law applies to the requests of all citizens. and frankly, quite often journalists all over boston have

requested records in a timely fashion or without incurring thousands of dollars in processing fees. governor baker and attorney general healy tell "5 investigates" they support government transparency, compliance with the law, and public record reform. perhaps the commonwealth should just put everything on line, dramatically increasing transparency, with far greater efficiency than the current requirements. in the meantime, since the old law isn't working nor enforced, the legislature needs to quickly pass a public records reform bill, one that is clear to all and enacted by all the

$800 million big smackeroos. doug: i have the winning ticket. i'll sell it to you for $4. i'm going to double my money. i've seen the odds on this thing, okay. antoinette: the caribbean island tomorrow. doug: take the show on the road. if we're live from some place with palm trees in the background you'll know we did big. mike: not palm trees but warm weather coming in. still 40 in boston. this is a mild day but tomorrow is almost hot compared to this because temperatures are going to be about 15 degrees warmer than this. we're looking for temperatures in the mid 50's tomorrow. but right now we have these pockets of cold air out there. we've had a little bit of drizzle out there. on untreated road surfaces beings it may be slippery. there's the line right now. it's the most organized it's been all morning. light drizzle. you can see in the ipswich area just about ready to move into beverly. it travels down along had this line. it's riding along 128. i just stepped outside into it. it's light stuff. as you get out to the west with

you're starting to see the hudson area or westborough, a little bit more mix going into this. there might be a slippery spot especially west of 495. in the afternoon temperatures will be warm enough that we won't be talking about any kind of frozen precipitationist will all be in the form of just light drizzle. then look at this coming in tomorrow. don't get used to it. the cold is coming in fast. we'll talk more about that and the threat of snow this week. all that in a few minutes. doug? doug: mike, thank you. breaking overnight. firefighters are investigating the cause of this fire in rehoboth. flames started in the home on salisbury street early this morning. officials have not confirmed any injuries as of right now. we'll bring you more information as we get it. antoinette: also breaking a new york city police officer is recovering after being shot while trying to break up a fight. this happened around 2:00 this morning in the bronx. police say the officer was shot in the ankle while chasing a suspect. he then fired back, striking that suspect four times. both were taken to the hospital. the officer is expected to be okay.

arrested earlier that day and released, is in serious condition. doug: a boston police officer is recovering after being shot by a man in dorchester. grant headley is behind bars after police say he shot the nine-year veteran in the leg yesterday. headley, a suspected drug dealer out on probation, was allegedly driving without a license when the plainclothes officer pulled him over. he's expected in court on monday. antoinette: this morning, the father of shooting suspect is talking about the crime his son is accused of and having trouble understanding what his son could possibly have been thinking. >> pretty sad what happened. i don't know what happened today. but, you know, if he did it, i don't know what he did, what he was thinking. antoinette: "5 investigates" is digging into grant headley's past. as karen anderson reports, he's no stranger to police. karen: sources tell "5 investigates" grant headley was

city of boston with a lengthy criminal history dating back at least a decade, and he had just been released from prison after serving a five-year sentence on gun charges. sources tell "5 investigates" 27-year-old grant headley has had 40 criminal arraignments in the city of boston. his lengthy record dates back to at least 2005 when he was just 16 years old. the youth violence strike force caught him illegally carrying a gun. he pleaded guilty and served just one year behind bars. four years later in 2009, another weapons charge. police say he had a gun, ammunition, and a large capacity magazine. also that year headley was twice charged with drug possession with intent to distribute. the arrests near a public playground. headley was also arrested for a motor vehicle violation, and police found him with several e.b.t. cards belonging to other people. he told officers he had bought the cards on the street. some of those prior arrests were in the same neighborhood as today's shooting.

from the scene. in dorchester, karen anderson, "5 investigates." doug: federal authorities are trying to figure out the motive behind an ambush on a police officer in philadelphia. surveillance video captures the attack as police say edward fires several shots inside at officer jesse hartnett. officer hartnett incredibly manages to radio in for help. he then gets out of the car and fires back at the shooter, hitting him at least three times. >> his will to live undoubtedly saved his life. >> this is absolutely one of the scariest things i've ever seen. i mean, this guy tried to execute the police officer. doug: police arrested archer and say he told them he follows allah and pledged allegiance to the islamic state. the f.b.i. is involved in the investigation but has not labeled it a terror attack. incredibly officer hartnett is expected to make a full recovery. the worcester toddler allegedly beaten by his mother's boyfriend nearly died according to

>> the further investigation will really depend upon the timing that we can have interviews with the severely injured. hopefully, they will recover and will be able to shed some additional light and information on it. antoinette: the four workers suffered critical injuries in the explosion. doug: a hingham police officer suspended from duty has now lost his pay. our partners at "the patriot ledger" report that selectmen took pay and benefits away from sergeant kris phillips on thursday. he was suspended after an investigation found he lied about an injury he claimed he suffered on patrol. he's been collecting $2,000 a week since last july. phillips will be arraigned on january 14 on insurance fraud charges. antoinette: new this morning. the mbta and two contractors will settle a lawsuit this week with riders who say they were wrongly ticketed. the riders claim they were ticketed for unpaid parking fees at commuter stations after paying the now-antiquated honor boxes.

with receipts proving they paid. "the globe" reports documents recently filed in federal court in boston show all drivers who were ticketed on or before july 6 for unpaid fees are now eligible for the settlement. a hearing is scheduled for march 14 to determine how much this will cost the mbta. doug: new budget cuts announced by governor charlie baker. yesterday afternoon, baker announced the $49 million in cuts. the trim affects mainly grants for hospitals and community health centers. many on beacon hill expected larger cuts to chop the $38 billion deficit. the administration is anticipating a $320 million budget shortfall for the fiscal year. doug: it's what everybody is talking about the drawing for the biggest lottery jackpot in history is just hours away. antoinette: how much you could take home and the numbers most frequently drawn over the past few years. a robbery attempt foiled.

"hey, i've got as good of a chance as anybody." mary: while that sign says $800 million, don't you be fooled. if you take the lump sum, that total drops to $496 million. after taxes, that's only $347 million. still, i'd take it. of course, ticket sales saturday could drive that record jackpot up to a billion bucks. since we're crunching numbers, i'll leave you with the numbers drawn most frequently in the past four years. 8, 54, 14, 39, and the traditionally unlucky 13. and a word to the wise. you may have bought a ticket, but it's not officially yours until you've signed your name on

that line by the way just sagging its way to the south. it's on the northern fringes you have to get outside of 495 where it was cold enough that we did get some snow. now that we have the sun warming us up a little bit and the day goes on, the threat of seeing any mixed precipitation will be drizzle. it will be in the form of wet rain and drizzle out there. gray skies at times and perhaps fog with it as well. you can see it's not a very large area. this is it right there. it actually is starting to show signs of decreasing in intensity right now. you see the line sweeps its way just off to the west of the city right now moving through essex county near beverly you're getting a little bit of light stuff. you might get steadier stuff as this area of woburn moves through boston and through walt ham traveling along the pike. you might go for some rain to a little bit of mix to a little bit of snow. that's the way it's been out there this morning. all of it really light. it's only the untreated surfaces that really we're even concerned about and really only for an hour or so. at that point we'll be warming up across the area. won't be worried about any

easterly winds 17 miles per hour. that is just bring inning the moisture off the ocean. the cold air already had the ground cold before it got here. we'll warm things up. high temperature today's will look like this in the low who 40's. waltham 43 degrees for a high temperature. we'll see gardner at 38 degrees and worcester at 38 degrees. the interesting thing watch what happens to the temperatures. tomorrow 52. monday in worcester 27. look at the ups and downs we're talking about here. tomorrow by the way it may never really feel like it's in the 50's because it will be a wind-driven rain and it will be very, very strong winds especially if you're near the coast and down toward the cape and the islands. right now we're seeing temperatures in the 40's. high temperatures today at hyannis tomorrow 54 and even on monday you're going to be dropping off down to the freezing mark for a high temperature. so we've got a lot of things going on. here's the way it breaks down. first off we've got the temperatures, as i mentioned, into the 40's at this point. as we go through the day today, we'll be seeing these temperatures holding flat. they're not going to be warming up too much. we really have to wait until we're down the road tomorrow to

and once we get to that point into the 50's then we go back into the 30 as we start to talk about what is going to be happening down the road. in the seven-day forecast let me show you what will be happening over the next several days. notice that today is only about 44 degrees for a high temperature. but then as we get towards tomorrow, it's about 56. by the way, 56 is a record high temperature for boston for tomorrow. so we'll be looking forward to that one and then down the road a little bit farther, we're going to be talking about temperatures dropping off considerably. we're only going to be talking about high temperatures pretty much into the 30's for the rest of the week. overall it will be an interesting weather pattern we'll be dealing with this week. i'll share that seven-day forecast with you coming up in just a few moments. we'll also talk about that threat of perhaps seeing a little bit of light snow tuesday night into wednesday. all that coming up in just a few moments. doug. doug: mike, thank you. the devils no match for the bruins as the b's continue their road trip in new jersey. it took the bruins just two minutes to score frank vatrano with the first goal.
