12:01 am
the famous words uttered by someone that does not understand money or happiness. guys, a lone winner of the sixth largest jackpot ever. the $429 million powerball jackpot has won right here in new jersey. now, do you guys know how to close we were to actually winning? well, we weren't just one or two numbers off, we really didn't play this time, but the winning ticket was purchased right in mercer county in trenton. now, the winner has not come forward as of yet, but i spoke to the young fraran franchisee - >> my husband and i came in sunday morning for work, and a few people were joking around because i guess everybody knew that it was in mercer county, so we were just excited it was mercer county and, you know, we did not have any idea that it was us until, like, around the afternoon we finally got a phone call, and lottery said the winning ticket was sold here, and we couldn't believe it. >> lottery official carol
12:02 am
headinger held a press conference monday morning -- >> if the winner happens to be watching, i want them to sign the back of the ticket, put it in a safe place. come to lottery headquarters which is nearby, very close. we will safeguard that ticket. >> and she also presented the franchisee, andrea and her husband, with $30,000 for selling the ticket right out of this 7/eleven right behind me. now, sadly, the city of trenton is by no means a destination town. it could be assumed that the winner might be on their way out of trenton if they're from here after they collect their money. but it got me thinking, what if the cash payout that is about $285 million was put back into the city of trenton or spent here? now, what if this dystopia were to be changed into a utopia that we're going to call trento pix pix -- trentopia?
12:03 am
♪ ♪ >> now, the average home price in trenton is around $90,000. and according to homes.com, there's about 1,950 homes more sale here. now, if you do the math, $284 million in the cash payout could buy every single home here in the city of trenton. and guess what? you would still have about $85 million left over to do whatever you want. really? >> that's the worst advice i've ever heard. [laughter] almost half of big lottery winners go broke. can you imagine putting your money into trenton like that? >> not only that, a lot of lottery winners actually end up getting killed. and if you know the city of trenton, there's high crime and a lot of gangs, so you probably want to -- >> we know the winner has not shown his face as of yet. >> the person that they thought is only 20 years old. so a 20-year-old with that much
12:04 am
money is not going to be rebuilding trenton. they're out of here. >> most likely will not be a millionaire for long. high-speed chase. michael, start it off. >> chemistry is super cool, but i was really bad at it in high school. perhaps if my teacher had shown us something like this, i would have paid closer attention. literally, what happens is you put an alcohol mixture into, like, one of those water jugs, ignite it with a little lighter, whoosh! gillian saw it for herself. did it really whoosh? >> it did, beyond. it's the craziest thing you've ever seen. really weird. >> a big update in the story of escaped convict arthur buckle who's been on the loose since last tuesday. today on monday the new jersey state police and the new jersey department of corrections in a joint effort captured buckle in

[cheers and applause] now, sanders briefly but specifically mentioned atlantic city's ongoing financial problems that include a proposed takeover by the state supported by governor christie and state president steve sweeney that would possibly strip away collective bargaining rights of union workers, sanders' base. there was a lot of union turnout at the rally, and sanders spoke directly to them when he said he was on their side. >> i stand with those workers.
12:06 am
[cheers and applause] the workers here are trying to maintain the health care benefits that they have received for decades. that is what we are seeing all over this country, the billionaire class, the icahns, the trumps, all of these people who want more and more. they're squeezing working people harolder and harder. and we tell them, no. we're going to tell them as loudly and as clearly as we can. carl icahn, donald trump, you guys are not going to get it all. we're going to change this economy, we're going to create an economy that works for dishwashers, that works for minimum wagers. >> now, most of sanders' speech was about his campaign themes like a $15 an hour minimum wage and free college tuition and medicare for all, but his visit
12:07 am
to atlantic city sends a larger message according to one of the councilmen who helped introduce sanders at the rally. >> the fact that the economy was impacted, we had a a casino that was doing wonderfully, but because the general consensus of the board says, no, we can make more money someplace else, it took out 14,000 jobs. >> dell delgado says sanders' campaign themes are a perfect fit for the troubles atlantic city is facing. casinos closed, and the city found itself in a financial meltdown. now it's caught between north and south jersey, and there's no sign that the stalemate is going to subside anytime soon as atlantic city inches ever closer to bankruptcy since it's running out of cash. sanders' visit isn't likely to change much, and both sides in this debate appear to be even more dug in, leaving the 39,000 residents of the city stuck in the middle. >> it was a bright, sunny day,

and i met him in boca, and we had a conversation. and he let me know that something was going to come to out in the news, that i wasn't going to be happy with. >> getting caught on the beach with trump's ex destroyed spencer wagner's life. he was trump's bodyguard at the time, and his ex-wife, mary miller, about her husband. >> i really believed he was innocent. he's a guy of integrity, a perfect gentleman. he was his bodyguard, and he's loyal to his his boss. i never thought for a second he would cross that line. >> mary miller now lives in florida, and she says spencer could not have been more devastated by what happened to him ever since he got caught with marla maples. >> i think it destroyed him emotionally, because i think he really liked working for donald trump, and i really believe he was loyal to donald trump. >> she told me more about when she got married to spencer. >> i was a headline stripper, and i was a high-end escort. he said he was a bodyguard, and i thought, oh, my god, i need a bodyguard.

[laughter] >> he'll stop doing that. >> i'm in new york city chasing one of the oldest american dreams. the fairy tale of owning an american racehorse. we saw the glitz and the glamour of the industry take center stage this past weekend with the kickoff of the 1 42nd kentucky derby. sorry, my phone -- >> that was amazing. >> where should i start? >> jumped in time. [laughter] >> anyway, go ahead. >> we saw the glitz and glamour of the industry take center stage this past weekend with the kickoff of the 142nd kentucky derby, and you tell me how many of you were wondering, gosh, i'd love to be there with a big old hat but rooting for my racehorse? guess what? a new campaign could very well make that happen for you. true ink has created the first-ever crowd founding campaign to why a racehorse --
12:15 am
to buy a racehorse for as little at $8 you could own your very own racehorse -- >> the way we function is like a club, and if you become a member of the people's horse, then you get to be part and share this horse with literally at this point hundreds of other people across the country. >> the people's horse is actually just made of fiberglass, so you can't see what you're buying yet. that's why i headed to belmont racetrack to get an idea of what exactly are we paying for? they have some teeth. wow, she really bites. this is -- [laughter] stop laughing. this is where the people's horse will be cared for. >> that is what we call cooling out. so when they come back from the track, they'll have a bath and walk around here for about 20 minutes. then it's tea time, and then it's bedtime. >> what time's bedtime? [laughter] >> he's the party animal around here. >> todd worley is a trainer and a caretaker.
12:16 am
he introduced me to one of his racehorses, power nap. really? that's his name? >> yeah. [laughter] >> i thought that's what he was doing. [laughter] interesting name for a racehorse. so i had to ask him, what's your take on this campaign? do you find that everyone being able to take part in it kind of takes away from the eliteness of it? >> it is not an elite game anymore. of course, there are still the big owner-breeders, the guys who are winning spend a million dollars on a horse, on a dream that it's taking them to the kentucky derby. but there's no reason why you can't put 50, 150 people together and ask them all for $100 and buy a horse for 15,000 and still live that dream. >> the campaign has already raised more than $20,000, that's just in a couple weeks since it first kicked off. the first phase caps off on june 11th, just go to true.inc. >> diana, maybe i got confused. you pay -- are multiple people

[laughter] >> well, you're paying for it to be stabled, that's why i went to the belmont racetrack. keep in mind sometimes horses, they may step out and break their leg, and then they have to get shot. [laughter] so, you know, it's kind of not the best investment. >> that happens dozens of times a year. it's amazing. >> i know. >> tamara, you're chasing a story, looks like some people get along better after the divorce. what have you got? >> you ever go to look for a card maybe for a birthday or mother's day or a celebration, and you just can't find something that fits? well, it gets even harder if you're looking for something for your ex. bill, there's a card for that. >> what was i thinking when i had your child? [laughter]
12:18 am
>> open that up. this is our humor line. i love it. >> that was wanda because, she's co-founder of exx cards, the cards for exes, and she was talking about one of her cards from the humor line. >> this opens up a communication line with some laughter, it gets people talking. they may have had a child and they've gotten past that healing stage -- >> yeah. >> so now they can laugh. >> that is funny. >> wanda and her ex-husband who's now the co-founder of exx cards, they got divorced in 2002, and they have two kids together, but they started this company, actually, it came out of the process of them healing themselves. >> i started getting these cards when they didn't have cards on the market. like i said, the demographics for separated and divorced people, there weren't any. so i started writing cards myself, and eventually over a four or five year period -- >> yeah. >> -- i think it's sort of worn done, and he came around and started writing cards himself to me, and he said, you know what? we've got to start a greeting
12:19 am
card business. >> this started in 2009, they started building their brand, and they've actually gotten into some local supermarkets, and they're getting some demand from across the country. >> ex cards, not together but never forgotten. as you see the hands, they're no longer together, but they're bonded by the relationship of family still whether it be children or whether the in-laws, because family is family, and i believe in family. i can only afford to get you this card because i'm broke from paying child support. i hope you understand, happy birthday. [laughter] >> my aunt and her hallmark store, she just brought in all this stuff for divorce parties, things that say i'm not with stupid anymore, i used to be married, but now i'm better. sorry you're such a tool. [laughter] so i have to say, there is a market for it because so many people are getting divorced. >> i'm all about just moving on. who has to go and get a card? especially she says it comes from a good place, but speaking about child support, that's touching on a sore subject for
12:20 am
many people. i don't know, it's tricky with that humor. >> you know, not all relationships last forever, and one of the things that they're doing is they're trying to keep the family bond and appreciate each other even through some of these tough times. and what they're seeing is that there's got to be a card for that. >> starting to make a couple extra bucks renting out his nyc pad. his subletters invited 50 of their closest friends to have an orgy. >> i don't see what the big deal is -- >> you don't see the big deal with

wireless world today could use a smile? at cricket wireless, we think so. that's why, prices for plans are all in, taxes and fees included. and we've got more 4g lte coverage nationwide than t-mobile or sprint. that's a whote lotta network for not a lot a dough. it's what makes cricket the happiest place in the whole wireless world. ♪ ♪ >> they already think i'm nuts, it can't get any worse. >> well n today's people doing stupid stuff on the internet, insert the corn on the drill challenge. behold, how to eat corn on the cob in ten seconds. however, not all corn on the cob ingestion via drill ends up so well. particularly for this woman who
12:24 am
ended up -- ♪ ♪ >> so stop doing this and eat corn like an adult, without a drill. [laughter] >> raccoons are normally known as menaces, and they are probably the worst thing for your pet. raccoons still need friends too. unfortunately, this raccoon in russia decided to pick a cat who, along with most other cats, doesn't want love, doesn't want friendship. so this video posted by viral hogs shows the desperate need for love and attention from this raccoon. sorry human thought he could make a couple extra bucks renting out his nyc pad on air bnb, and subletters invited 50 of their closest friends to have an orgy. they weren't friends, they put up fliers.

his participant was destroyed a-- apartment was destroyed along with his reputation. a way to avoid this sort of glaring privacy violation. >> over the next few years, i learned both about the character of the airbnb team and the massive problem that it's become for the city. >> announcing the brand new watchdog company, sublet five. his team works with landlords that hire them, basically, to investigate the illegal subletting on all of their properties. the nyc cybersecurity company has expanded rapidly, now in jersey, across the u.s., overseas, and he even works with local municipalities and governments. why such a response? it could be because his sublet spies have a 100% success rate. >> everyone that's come to us whether they've got multiple units, we come back to them and say here's an airbnb in your building. >> they use the most advanced technology, searching thousands of databases. now, for the naysayer that thinks he's ruining it for people like you and me that just
12:26 am
want to make an extra buck, he says he's going after the mass network that has now become what he's calling organized crime. >> this is not some mom and pop trying to scrape by and make a few extra dollars. in fact, more than half the listings that airbnb talks about, completely inactive. the bulk of their business is coming from these professional illegal hotel operators. it's organized crime, and that's what we're hunting, not some, you know, poor, starving artists. >> with such a successful system in place, one would hope that new york city and other cities looked at them for how to stop rental robbery altogether, but that's not the case. he has contacted the de blasio administration numerous times to tell them about big players, basically people that you've seen out there operating illegal sublets for years, pointing them out right down to their addresses and who they are, and it's met with silence. >> i tried to work with the city. in fact, we gave in 2015, last year, we gave the head of enforcement the worst actors on
