Wayne County Lottery Club wins $793K playing Fast Cash progressive jackpot
The Wayne County lottery club purchased its winning ticket at Talley's Log Cabin Bar, located at 2981 Kneeland Street in Lewiston.
"My friend, the other club member, lives in Northern Michigan, and we just recently started playing the Lottery together whenever I am up north at my cabin," said the club's representative in a news release. "We bought a Fast Cash ticket together and weren't sure how much we won, so we scanned it and got a message to visit the Lottery office.
"We scanned it on the Michigan Lottery app next and flipped out when we saw we won the jackpot plus $250,000! It was a total shock and took a while to wrap our heads around it. I don't think it's going to fully sink in until we cash our checks."
With their winnings, club members plan to live debt-free.

Michigan Supreme Court sides with gambler in $3.2M lawsuit against BetMGM
A Michigan woman whose online gambling account showed that she won over $3 million but was later told her account had no money remaining has won the right to seek damages against the gambling company through Wayne Circuit Court. The Michigan Supreme Court handed down the ruling Tuesday in the case filed as Davis v. BetMGM. According to court documents, Jacqueline Davis started playing an online game called "Luck O' the Roulette" with $50 deposited into her BetMGM account on March 18, 2021. Her first wager on the game was $4.50. She played off and on for the next several days, incurring winnings that she used as subsequent plays while increasing the wager amounts, according to court records. "In gambler's parlance, plaintiff went on a 'heater' of epic magnitude," the justices wrote. "As her account grew, she pressed her bets." Davis requested a payout of $100,000 on March 21, 2021, and was sent an email in response to coordinate those details. She received that money. By March 23, 2021, her wagers had increased to $5,000 per play, and her account reached a balance of $3,289,500.75. About that time, the legal affairs office from BetMGM Casino Operations contacted her to explain they had "identified unusual activity and an improbable balance associated with Ms. Davis's account." The company claimed a malfunction began around play 28, and that her account should have read zero at play 368. "Pursuant to the relevant Michigan Gaming Laws and Regulations, Luck O' the Roulette has since been removed from the Michigan market and the Michigan Gaming Control Board was notified of the malfunction," the company's investigation said. Davis subsequently filed a dispute with the circuit court and the Michigan Gaming Control Board in pursuit of the winnings she expected. The Michigan Gaming Control Board eventually noted that BetMGM failed to notify the gaming board for several days that there may have been a malfunction with the game, and added that the company did not fully cooperate with the investigation into the incident. Despite noting those violations, the board decided not to take formal disciplinary action against BetMGM. The circuit court concluded that the gaming board's action preempted other legal action. In a split decision, the Michigan Court of Appeals sided with the lower court. But at the Michigan Supreme Court, a unanimous ruling concluded that procedures spelled out in Michigan's Lawful Internet Gaming Act did not take away the player's right to seek legal action. The case has been remanded back to the circuit court "for further proceedings consistent with this opinion." CBS Detroit has reached out to BetMGM, which declined to comment further on the lawsuit.

30 Years of APEAL: All Vehicle Areas Improve for First Time in Nearly a Decade, J.D. Power Finds
Porsche (Premium) and MINI (Mass Market) Highest-Ranking Brands for Second Consecutive Year TROY, Mich., July 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New-vehicle owners today are more passionate about their vehicle than ever, according to the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study,SM released today. Overall satisfaction is 851 (on a 1,000-point scale), an increase of 4 index points from a year ago and the highest level since the study was last redesigned in 2020. Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! Great Rates and Award-Winning Service The Insurance Savings You Expect Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You Scores in all 10 categories in the study improve compared with last year—an achievement for the industry that has not occurred in almost a decade. The gains are led by a 13-point improvement in satisfaction with fuel economy, followed by infotainment and interior, which each increase by 6 points. "For three decades, the APEAL Study has tracked which new vehicles excite and delight owners the most," said Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power. "Manufacturers have made significant advancements that continue to redefine the vehicle ownership experience and have become more adept at translating innovation into meaningful customer engagement. However, the study finds that owners of new models have lower levels of satisfaction with vehicle setup and startup—as well as infotainment systems—compared with owners of carryover models. This suggests that increasing technology and menu complexity remain persistent challenges for the industry." Now in its 30th year, the APEAL Study complements the annual J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality StudySM (IQS) and the J.D. Power U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) StudySM by measuring owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with their new vehicle. The APEAL Study asks owners to consider 37 attributes, ranging from the sense of comfort they feel when climbing into the driver's seat to their exhilaration when they step on the accelerator. Vehicle owners' responses to queries about these attributes are aggregated to compute an overall APEAL Index score. Following are some key findings of the 2025 study: Premium brands outpace mass market brands in emotional satisfaction gains, led by Tesla: While emotional satisfaction among owners of mass market brands improves 2 points, it rises 11 points among owners of premium vehicles, largely driven by Tesla. The brand has achieved a year-over-year improvement of 20 points or more across all categories in the study, with the exception of powertrain (+6 points), which has consistently remained its area of greatest strength. Complicated technology derails owner satisfaction with new-model launches: Owners of carryover models express more emotional affinity for their vehicle than do owners of new-model launches (852 vs. 846, respectively) for a second consecutive year. Similarly, new models—which make up 14% of the industry this year—suffered from lower quality performance in this year's J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality Study. Also, in this year's APEAL Study, the largest satisfaction gaps for launch vehicles are in vehicle setup/startup (via the app) and infotainment—gaps that are especially pronounced in the premium segment, where carryover models score 48 points higher for setup/startup and 26 points higher for infotainment. Satisfaction more consistent among ICE and hybrid owners: The study indicates that among new-vehicle owners, internal combustion engine (ICE) and hybrid vehicles deliver more consistent satisfaction, while plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) exhibit greater year-over-year fluctuations. Notably, satisfaction among owners of BEVs (860, excluding Tesla) drops 17 points from a year ago when comparing across fuel types, while PHEVs (855) improve 14 points. Customers indicate that PHEVs and hybrids hit the sweet spot for pleasing them with regard to fuel economy, range and charging speed. Individual user profiles boost vehicle appeal: Just over half (55%) of vehicle owners are creating individual user profiles in their vehicle—features that allow personalization of settings such as seat position and climate control. The study reveals that premium vehicle owners are adopting this feature at twice the rate of mass market owners, and that when profiles are set up, owners across both segments cite increased emotional satisfaction. Highest-Ranking Brands Porsche ranks highest among premium brands for a second consecutive year, with a score of 890. Land Rover (886) ranks second and BMW (881) ranks third. MINI ranks highest among mass market brands for a second consecutive year, with a score of 876. Dodge (868) ranks second and GMC (852) ranks third. Model-Level APEAL Awards The corporation receiving the most model-level awards (for models ranking highest in their respective segment) is BMW AG (five segment awards and highest-ranking model), followed by Hyundai Motor Group (four segment awards), and Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen AG, each with three segment awards. The complete list of award recipients is: BMW AG: BMW X6, BMW X1, BMW 4 Series, BMW X4 and MINI CountrymanHyundai Motor Group: Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Santa Cruz, Kia K4 and Kia K5Ford Motor Company: Ford Super Duty, Ford Mustang and Lincoln NautilusVolkswagen AG: Volkswagen Porsche Taycan and Porsche 911General Motors Company: Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Hummer EVNissan Motor Co., Ltd: Nissan Rogue and Nissan MuranoJaguar Land Rover Limited: Land Rover Range RoverToyota Motor Corporation: Lexus ESStellantis NV: Dodge Durango BMW X6 is the highest-ranking individual model. Kia K5 receives a model-level award for a fifth consecutive year. BMW X4, MINI Countryman, Land Rover Range Rover and Porsche Taycan each receive model-level awards for a third consecutive year. Hyundai Sante Fe and Ford Super Duty each receive model-level awards for a second consecutive year. See the rank charts and list of model-level award winners at The 2025 U.S. APEAL Study is based on responses from 92,964 owners of new 2025 model-year vehicles who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study was fielded from June 2024 through May 2025 based on vehicles registered from March 2024 through February 2025. For more information about the U.S. APEAL Study, visit About J.D. Power J.D.
