Robert Sanchez, left, talked to Faisal Hamid as he bought his Mega Millions ticket from the California Market on Oct. 19. At that time, the jackpot surpassed $1 billion for the first time in the history of the Mega Millions contest. When no winning ticket was sold, the jackpot for the Oct. 22 drawing grew to a U.S. record $1.6 billion. Results of the Oct. 22 drawing were unavailable at press time.

Most recently, 12 Imman- uel FFA students competed at the Big Fresno Fair, show- ing 3 species of livestock. Sophomore Mia Barbosa re- ceived high honors with her Reserved FFA Southdown Market Lamb.
“This year’s fair meant so much more to me than win- ning a few ribbons,” shared Barbosa. “It helped me build stronger relationships with family, friends and teachers that have helped me along the way. It takes a lot of sup- port and commitment not just from me, but from those around me.”
Graduate Hunter Ward, also competed in the Fair this year, with high recog- nition as Champion Master Showman for Advanced FFA with his showing of 6 different species. Ward received Reserved FFA Champion for his Market Lamb as well.

The sheriff also will swear in these newly-hired employ- ees:
Fair was very successful in many ways, but there’s more to the fair than just winning,” Ward said. “It’s about invest- ing in skills that will be used throughout life, building lasting relationships, and most importantly continuing agriculture to the next gen- eration.”
On the heels of winning the Gragnani Family Me- morial Scholarship for Out- standing Livestock Exhibitor at the Fair, San Joaquin Re- gional President Drew Vogt, is heading to Indianapolis as a National Delegate rep- resentative. Vogt says, “I’m excited to represent Califor- nia FFA, and vote to help im- prove things for the future of agriculture.
Next up is the start of Proficiency Applications for Immanuel Chapter mem- bers. Graduates Taylor Lovewell and Kallie Huebert both were named National Proficiency Gold Winners for the 2018 season, setting a steep goal for this year’s students to strive for.

five numbers from 1 though 70 and a Mega number be- tween 1 through 25. This caused the odds to switch to 1 in 302,575,350.
Those discouraging chances did not stop locals like Gary Balakian from spending more than $100 for his Mega Millions tickets.
Balakian said he’s hope- ful because he’s had luck with other lottery games in the past.
“I won $10,000 off the Daily 3, it was exciting it was a lot of laughter a lot of smiles,” he said. “I noti- fied my family and it was so good.”
Bernadette Sanchez also visited the California Mar- ket to buy her ticket and said she’s done her research about what to do if she won the enormous grand prize.
“I would probably wait about a year before I spent any of it,” she said. “Get a lawyer, and I would definite- ly make sure the taxes are paid off.”
Sanchez also said she’d travel and donate most of the money to her local church.
“St. Anthony’s has been wanting to pay off our church loan,” she said.

like Robert Sanchez, said he couldn’t fathom winning an amount that large. Still, he bought himself a ticket.
“I don’t know what I would buy first, but I’d defi- nitely pay off my mortgage, that’s for sure,” he said.
