four of the six numbers matched the lost character hurley and more than 25,000 played the lost numbers. the tickets are worth diagnose 150 apiece. >> that's better than mine. >>> well, nothing better than our weather. jeff ranieri is standing by. >> it was another nice recovery after that chilly and foggy start today. take a look at our san francisco skycam ra. absolutely clear visibility looking right towards the golden gate bridge right there with that sun setting. winds northeast at 12. we'll see those winds continually calming tonight and that will set up more dense fog throughout the central valley of california. if you're traveling on the interstate 5 corridor into southern california, that's where visibility could be down to a tenth of a mile. back here in the bay area, we'll see some fog but not as widespread. current temperatures dropping to 50 in livermore, 52 in mow vano and 52 in sunnyvale. it's going to drop into the 40s for another cold night ahead. as you look at the morning hours, we'll have to deal with the fog and the cold yet again, but here's the good news. just wai

now, it's an eerie coincidence force fans of the tv series "lost" because the character hurley on the show actually won the lottery with nearly all those same numbers except for a series of unlucky events. >> it's a good thing you didn't win, lawrence. there is a silver lining in the cloud. >> now that you look at it that way, i'm feeling so much better. >> are you? good. >> we have blue skies and sunshine out there today. things looking nice. we started out very cold. some places below freezing this morning. but boy, looking at this afternoon, it will be gorgeous. cool in spots out toward ocean beach. still looking good there. you have some nice sunshine and more on the way. high pressure digging into the bay area bringing with it the nice break from the stormy weather. got 47 degrees right now in santa rosa, 50 degrees in napa, 5 is still cool in livermore valley and 50 degrees in concord. but as we head to the latter part of the afternoon these temperatures warming up very nicely. you're talking about low to upper 50s around parts of the bay area. mostly sunny skies, just a few clo

and we know how it changed hurley's life. okay, steve. let's break down the numbers a little more here on america's smart screen. as you said, $355 million. looks good. if you took the 26 annual payments, as steve said, that would break down to $177,500,000. now, again, there are two winning tickets. one in washington state and one in idaho. so that is the annual payout. if you took the lump sum, though, that would come out to almost $112 million. but, of course, uncle sam has to take his cut. and so, you see, it breaks down to just about $5 million per year after the federal taxes taken out. with the lump sum, you see that that breaks down to almost $84 million. but wait. there is more to be taken out. of course, with estate taxes and in idaho, that means it would go down to $122 million. but there's no state tax in washington state. so you get to keep a little bit more, and what does that boil down do in the lump sum? again, a little more in washington state. i think a lot of people are thinking about moving out that way now, george. >>

. >> my name is george hurley, a political science major from california. >> anything you want to comment on? >> i would just say that a theme we have been experiencing the last few days is it fair and open debate, vigorous debate. i am definitely a proponent of that. i was the one that asked about the fairness doctrine to congressman pence. i do not think that we need to have that. we have the new media, as bob schieffer pointed out to us on monday, the old media vs. new media concept, and we can search out and really come up with our own opinion and search out the fact of what is important to us, how it pertains rather than somebody feeding us, this is what you need to know because we think so. >> why do you think so many people -- and all my life it has happened. want to point tthe finger at the other side and say they need to cool their jets? >> i think somebody brought up earlier that it is about power. whoever controls the spotlight, if you will, they have the greatest chance to influence other people, whether that be here in the united states or abroad. finger-pointing is kind of a

. >> my name is george hurley, i'm from the university of san diego. my question is about federalism. and the states, there seem to be more and more states that are going quote-unquote bankruptcy or acquiring more and more debt. what are your feelings about the federal government? seems like they're bailing out some states here and there. what role is the federal government going to continue to play in that, and could that spur on a change in our constitution whether in writing or just by practice that would alter our understanding of federalism as it is right now? >> yeah, george, i think that is, that's the big challenge of federalism. most states, perhaps all states i'm not quite sure, have constitutional requirements that they have balanced budgets. the stimulus, $787 billion stimulus that was enacted in the first weeks of the obama administration, a lot of that money went to the states to pay, basically, to avoid layoffs. of public employees. but there's a real crisis, there's no question about it. my own state, new jersey, is very much in the hol
