1:39 am
shopping spree. joining us live from the 7-11 where a possible ticket was bought. >> reporter: did you win? >> i did not win. [ laughing ]. >> reporter: bam bam bam bam. listen, i like the way this story started. if i was a millionaire, what would i do? i'm pretty bummed out. i would make sure my bills were paid off, i would make sure my family was paid off. i would give a huge chunk for charity. and it would probably look something like this. i am the 1%. a transportation upgrade. >> this is our 860, 500 horse power magnificent car. >> $143,000, it's yours. >> reporter: i feel good in this car. do i look good in it? >> absolutely. you can have this car for $129,950.

1:41 am
>> reporter: all right, neighbor. thank you. >> my pleasure. [ laughing ]. >> reporter: all right. here is another look at the losing ticket. it's not worth much anymore. just a keepsake. the fact this is history. it was nice to wish and pretend for a little bit. i'll have to see you back at work on monday. we're live, ken molestina, 9news now. >> there are a lot of people wishing and hoping. we'll see you monday. we know $600 million is a lot of money, but what does it look like? here is a little bit of a visual comparison. if you took $100 stacked bills, this is what a grand would look like. just under half an inch thick. pump that up to a million and two stacks of 500,000 would come up around your ankle. so then this is what 600 million would look like. $6,100 million cubes reaching up to your waist. wow. new at 11:00, we are now hearing from trayvon martin's brother for the very first time. that is more protest planned
1:42 am
over the 17-year-old's death. >> reporter: javar is still shaken by the death of his brother. >> i still don't believe it, which is why it's not easy for me to talk about him because i just think he's coming back. >> reporter: the 21-year-old college stunteds student is talking to media for the first time since george zimmerman killed his brother last month. he told the police he fired in self defense after trayvon attacked him. >> that doesn't sound like my brother at all. he wasn't that way at all. that doesn't sound like him. >> reporter: fulton describes his brother as easy going and says he is overwhelmed by the demonstration -- >> we are trayvon. >> reporter: that showed no signs of letting up. >> i think it's amazing. he's making history, i guess. >> reporter: here in stanford, another demonn is scheduled for saturday demanding that zimmerman be put on trial.
1:43 am
all of the protests have been peaceful. >> what was your reaction when you first heard about the shooting? >> well, i'm a mom. and i have a son. and that could have been my child. >> reporter: elizabeth says business at her coffee shop is down 50% this week. >> when you gets the media reports that say up to 25,040,000 people down here, like i said, any conscious person would say maybe i don't want to go downtown tonight. i'll go get a cup of coffee tomorrow. >> reporter: she fears her patrons won't be back as long as the protests over the shooting continue. >> now, the state authorities in florida are now handling the case. a man called up our newsroom this morning and he sounds suspicious. mentions a bomb threat and gives his name as tony toledo. our assignment desk called the
1:44 am
police. and tonight we can report fairfax county police have arrested 19-year-old marco toledo of burke targeting annandale high school. they checked out the school but they never found any kind of explosive. however, the threat itself kept the school closed for much of the morning. and students were stuck sitting on buses for three hours. their parents were not happy. >> annandale high school has failed. they failed the parents. they failed the students. they knew about this since 4:00 this morning. the kids should not have even gotten on the bus this morning. >> the school system has since apologized for the delay in notifying parents about the bomb threat. we learned some more today about the pentagon's decision to send to a garbage dump more than a thousand small incinerated pieces of remains from the 9/11 attack on the pentagon. . release of records show there was a debate about the decision and gary nurenberg is here with that. gary. >> reporter: well, derek, the
1:45 am
devastation of the attack meant they were going to be dealing with body parts. there were five categories. bodies essentially in -- victims that after testing proved to be identifiable as human remains, terrorist remains and biological remains not identifiable and mixed with non-biological remains. in total, 1321 pieces that could not be identified. some not identifiable as even being human. perhaps one official said in some cases something from someone's lunch. what to do? one colonel wrote i do like the idea of spreading ashes at sea in that if a neutral area. one response, we should not be attempting to spread residue at sea as it could possibly send a message to the next of kin that we are disposing of humane remains and that is not the
1:46 am
case. the remains were incinerated and sent to a landfill. >> the practice in a situation like that with biological would be to treat that as medical waste and dispose of it. >> reporter: after an investigation, here is what the pentagon told 9/11 families earlier today. >> their loved ones were treated with the care, dignity and respect that we did so in accordance with appropriate processes and procedures. >> reporter: we told you that the documents were released today. but in many cases, the names of those making those opposing recommendations were redacted so we can't tell you who they were. derek. >> thank you, gary. well, virginia tech will no longer have to pay a $55,000 fine over its response to the deadly 2007 shootings at that school. the university was issued that fine because the department of education said the school violated the cleary act. that's a federal law which requires schools to give timely warnings about campus threats. but today the department of
1:47 am
education judge overturned that decision. we're just four days away until campaign 2012 kicks off here in the district. on tuesday dc will pick nominees for everything from council state to president. but voters don't have to wait until then to cast their ballots. there is one more day of early voting in the district of columbia. the board of elections had 8 early voting centers. one in each ward. and they'll be open from 8:30 a.m. until 7:00 tomorrow night. we have a complete list at wusa9.com. click on campaign 2012. again, maryland also has its primary on tuesday. and you say you just tuned in and missed the very top of our show and you didn't hear the winning lottery numbers. we got you. here is the megamillions ticket number that won. 2, 4, 23, 38, 46 and megaball 23. got it, top? >> actually i don't have it.
1:48 am

1:57 am
weekend. really an okay weekend. let's start with a live look outside. so live weather cam. it is brought to you by michael and 7. temperatures 48 downtown. winds are dead calm. and the pressure is actually following to 9.90 inches of mercury. the front itself is back into the ohio valley. i think you can get an idea where it is. pretty good line of showers and thunderstorms. heavy storms. some severe in southern sections of ohio. entering west virginia. and even big storms up in pennsylvania. our best chance for showers and storms will be with this line and will be tomorrow morning. once it goes through, things are going to improve in the afternoon. actually we may salvage a pretty decent saturday afternoon. so some showers saturday morning. that said i think most of the little league games will be played. especially if there is no thunder around. some sun late on saturday afternoon and then nicer on sunday. it appears sunday will be the nicer of the two days. but, again, both days will not be a wash out.
1:58 am
overnight looks like this, becoming mostly cloudy, possible shower by dawn, a rumble of thunder north of town. i dropped temps a little bit because we had breaks in the clouds. tomorrow morning mostly cloudy and cool. some showers. maybe even a thunderstorm. temperatures in the 40s and 50s. winds southwest at 10. i don't think this is going to be a case where everybody sees showers and thunderstorms. they're going to be a little hit and miss. by afternoon, though, becoming partly sunny and cool. now, shower still possible. but we'll get some breaks. high temperatures 60-65. that's pretty much average. winds will increase out of the northeast at 10-15 and that will keep us out of the 70s. no doubt about that. but that said, i think everybody will at least make it to 60 tomorrow. 61 in gaithersburg. 62 in in rockville. 63 -- 62 downtown. 63 in college park. even out to the west, low 60s in reston and fairfax and sterling. maybe only 60 in leesburg, manassas and back towards middleburg. all right. we'll break it down for you. early in the morning chilly. 42-52. maybe a shower or a storm. by noon maybe a leftover shower.
1:59 am
57-62. and then by evening, it's going to be nice. 59-64. clouds will be on the way out. now, the next three days, sunday is better. some showers may occur late sunday or sunday night. milder. 67. monday looks mild, temperatures in the upper 60s and sunshine. next seven days, it gets warmer as we get into tuesday. temps back into the 70s. showers and thunderstorms. and then really not that bad. a little cooler behind it. upper 60s on thursday and low 60s on friday, which i think we can live with. >> absolutely. kind of moderate in there. >> uh-huh. >> april showers. >>. i had written the caps off. i thought they were dead. but now there's a pulse. >> clear.
