LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 2 /PRNewswire/ — Fresh off his impressive 73/4 length win at the Dubai World Cup on March 29, Curlin, the 2007 Horse of the Year, will make a special appearance during the 134th Kentucky Derby this Saturday. Fans will have a chance to view Curlin parade on the track and head into the paddock area prior to the fifth race.
Owned by Jess Jackson, founder and proprietor of Kendall-Jackson Winery, Curlin has become a crowd favorite among racing fans throughout the world. A special announcement regarding Curlin’s future will be made on Derby Day.
“He is in great shape and as long as he is fit, we’re going to let him run this year,” said Jackson. My family and I love watching him run. I realize that this is not the conventional career path for a horse like Curlin, but I’m not sure there’s ever been a horse quite like him.”
Curlin, who recently turned four, was honored at the 2007 Eclipse Awards as the “Horse of the Year” and “Three-year-old Male of the Year” at a Beverly Hills awards ceremony in January. The Eclipse Awards are given each year to horse racing’s top performers. More recently, Curlin made the trek to the Middle East for the world’s richest race and did not disappoint, winning by a record margin.
Curlin’s accomplishments when racing as a three-year old are particularly noteworthy. Curlin’s historic 2007 racing campaign saw everything from the colt “breaking his maiden” to winning the 2007 Breeder’s Cup and The Preakness, finishing third in the Kentucky Derby and second in the Belmont Stakes — all in the span of eight months.
“As much as I love wine, there’s simply nothing that compares to horseracing. The beauty and rich history need to be preserved and we all need to work together to ensure that future generations are able to enjoy this ancient and honorable sport,” said Jackson.
Jackson said much of the credit for success goes to the Curlin team, which includes trainer Steve Asmussen, who fashioned a brilliant campaign to achieve the goal of winning the Dubai Cup and Breeders’ Cup, assistant trainer Scott Blasi, whose constant attention guided every phase of Curlin’s development, his exercise trainer Carmen Rosas, and his groom Javier Espinoza. Jockey Robby Albarado, an amazing athlete himself, has been a perfect fit for Curlin. From Curlin’s discovery through each of his triumphs, John Moynihan, Stonestreet’s bloodstock agent who assembled the team, advised and attended to every detail of Curlin’s winning 2007 season.
Having founded the successful Kendall-Jackson Winery nearly three decades ago and watched it grow into America’s favorite wine, the 78-year-old Jackson has turned his attention to horse racing, a passion since he was nine years old and witnessed the legendary Seabiscuit win at San Mateo’s Bay Meadows.
In five short years his investments in thoroughbred horses, and purchase of farms in California, Kentucky and Florida, have paid great dividends and led Jackson to become one of the key figures in the horse racing industry. Jackson is a founding director of the Horse Owners’ Protective Association.
“Our commitment to excellence has served me well in both the wine and horse business,” says a reflective Jackson. “I’d like to believe that our efforts have laid a solid framework for future generations of my family to succeed and flourish, whether it’s wine or horses.”

Remember the old movies in which people used to shoot each other in the back over poker games? Ever heard about people getting beaten and robed outside casinos after wining large sums of money on a poker game? Playing online solves all this and many other poker-related problems.
First of all, there is the issue of comfort. One can play poker online from virtually anywhere, anytime. You don’t need to put on a suit and a tie to play online, as it is done from the comfort of your own home.
Another positive aspect about this is the fact that the stress to which one undergoes is significantly reduced, thus increasing the one’s concentration power.
Another very important thing about online games is the security issue.
First of all, there is no way one can cheat you while playing online, on secured websites.
All the money transactions that do take place are electronically controlled and secured, so there is no risk of getting robbed or anything like that.
Taking all these factors into consideration, we can say that playing poker online is one of the best ways to play this awesome game.
MIDDLETOWN, Pa., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The estimated 700,000 television viewers who tune in nightly at 6:59 p.m. to watch the live Pennsylvania lottery drawing will see a new format starting Aug. 26.
“Over the drawing show’s 31-year history, lottery has occasionally made changes to it,” said lottery Executive Director Ed Trees. “The new drawing show enhancements are being made to accommodate Lottery’s newest game, Quinto, which will make its nightly debut tomorrow.”
Although the lottery is adding a new game to its nightly drawing lineup, the length of the drawing show will remain the same. The drawing show lasts 90 seconds Monday through Friday, 60 seconds on Sunday and 120 seconds on Saturday.
As they have for decades, players will still see the numbered balls mixing in their respective chambers on the new drawing show, but beginning Aug. 26, the drawing official will press one button to automatically select winning numbers for each of three games - The Daily Number, BIG 4 and Quinto. Winning numbers for CASH 5, Mix and Match and MATCH 6 Lotto have been drawn using one button per drawing since each of the games’ inception.
Also, viewers will now see an on-screen insert of the lottery drawing official and senior witness, while the larger view will be of the numbered balls as they are drawn.
“We are not shortcutting or circumventing our security procedures in any way with these changes,” Trees noted. “All Pennsylvania lottery drawings are conducted under strict, secure conditions ensuring that winning numbers are drawn randomly.”
The Pennsylvania Lottery’s nightly drawing show airs across the state on the following television stations: WJET-24 in Erie; WGAL-8 in Lancaster; WJAC- 6 in Johnstown; WPVI- 6 in Philadelphia; KDKA- 2 in Pittsburgh; and WNEP-16 in Scranton.
The last changes to the lottery drawing show were made in 2003 when animated graphics were added and the familiar theme song was modified.

MIDDLETOWN, Pa., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Barrie Edwards of Willow Street did not buy the Aug. 2 Powerball ticket that earned him over $42 million - he received the promotional ticket for free when he purchased two Pennsylvania lottery Match 6 tickets. Now, Edwards and his wife are sharing their good fortune with a dozen relatives.
Secretary of Revenue Tom Wolf and lottery Executive Director Ed Trees today presented a ceremonial check for $42,529,765.37, less 25 percent federal withholding, to 14 members of the Edwards and Funk families of Lancaster County, holders of the single jackpot-winning ticket from the Aug. 2 Powerball drawing.
The families’ jackpot-winning ticket matched all five white balls, 02-05-28-33-54, and the red Powerball, 30, to win the jackpot, which grew over nine drawings to an annuity value of $86.3 million. The $42.5 million cash prize won by the Edwards and Funks is the 10th largest prize awarded in Pennsylvania lottery history.
“The Edwards and Funk families weren’t the only winners in the Aug. 2 Powerball drawing,” said Wolf. “Pennsylvania’s older residents benefit from programs funded by lottery proceeds, and the Aug. 2 jackpot generated more than $6.2 million for those programs.”
Barrie Edwards watched the televised Powerball drawing to learn he held the jackpot-winning ticket. He immediately ran to share the news with his wife, Jean, who had gone to bed.
Shortly after the drawing, the Edwards called Terry and Linda Edwards, Barrie’s brother and sister-in-law, to inform them of the jackpot win.
Barrie and Terry Edwards and family members have purchased lottery tickets for years, and long ago they made a verbal agreement that if one of them won a large jackpot, the prize would be split among family members, all of whom are natives or long-time residents of Lancaster County.
The family members to share in the jackpot prize are as follows: Barrie and Jean Edwards of Willow Street, Lancaster County will receive $17,064,882.50; Terry and Linda Edwards of Willow Street, Lancaster County will receive $17,064,882.50; Robert and Elaine Funk of Mountville, Lancaster County will receive $1.4 million; Jeffrey and Donna Funk of Mountville, Lancaster County will receive $1.4 million; Melanie Funk of Lancaster will receive $1.4 million; Gerald and Lynn Hess of Davidson, North Carolina will receive $1.4 million; K. Scott Edwards of Lusby, Maryland will receive 1.4 million; and Ronald and Yvonne Edwards of Washington Boro, Lancaster County will receive $1.4 million.
The jackpot-winning Powerball ticket was a $1 quick-pick generated free in conjunction with a lottery promotion. Barrie Edwards purchased two Match 6 tickets to receive his free Powerball ticket at the Turkey Hill store on Willow Street Pike in Willow Street, Lancaster County. Turkey Hill received a $100,000 bonus for selling the winning jackpot ticket.
On behalf of the group, Jean Edwards presented the winning ticket for validation yesterday at lottery headquarters in Middletown after consulting with legal and financial counsel. After examining the ticket and executing propriety security measures, lottery officials confirmed that it was the jackpot-winning ticket from the Aug. 2 Powerball drawing.
The Edwards and Funk families are the 10th Pennsylvania lottery Powerball winners since Pennsylvania joined the multi-jurisdictional game in June 2002. Powerball tickets are sold in 31 participating jurisdictions - 29 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands.
How to play Powerball: To play Powerball, players pay $1 and select five white balls from the first set of 55 numbers plus a single red ball, the Powerball, from a second set of 42 numbers. Players may select their own numbers using Powerball play slips, or they may opt for computer-selected quick picks. Players must match all five numbers drawn plus the Powerball number to win the jackpot. There also are eight additional ways for players to win cash prizes.
Powerball features an option called PowerPlay. For an extra $1 per Powerball play (game), players can multiply their Powerball prizes by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times the original prize amount for all prizes except the jackpot. Prizes can multiply up to $1 million.
