Anniversary gift lottery ticket worth $10M

ALBANY, N.Y., Jan. 30 (UPI) -- A New York state woman's last-minute purchase of a lottery ticket as an anniversary present for her husband proved to be worth $10 million.

Patricia Parsons, 52, bought the ticket Jan. 17 while she was shopping at a supermarket in Elsmere in the Albany area, Capital News 9 reported. It was a $20 Win For Life scratch-off ticket.

Parsons told the television station she did not realize at first that she and her husband, Dan, had won the big jackpot. She saw the word "life" and the number 17.

The couple has plans for their winnings -- paying off everything they owe, putting money aside for their daughter's college fund and traveling. Parsons works as an administrative assistant for Albany County, while her husband is a car salesman.

"The ironic part of all of this is the number we matched, 17, is also our anniversary date as well as the day I bought the ticket," Parsons told WRGB-TV.

Super Bowl bets include Gatorade color

TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 30 (UPI) -- A betting Web site said gambling on the upcoming Super Bowl features unusual categories, including the color of Gatorade to be poured on the winning coach.

Richard Gardner, manager of Bodog Sportsbook, said betting on the Feb. 1 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals in Tampa, Fla., includes categories such as the number of active NFL players arrested during Super Bowl week and the number of planes involved in the pre-game flyover, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.

"There are people out there who take it that seriously," Gardner said of the unusual betting categories.

"We get about eight guys in a room and think about the story lines of the game," Gardner said. "We want to make it interesting. We make sure players have something to bet before the game even starts."

Other Super Bowl-related bets offered by Bodog include the number of times TV announcers Al Michaels and John Madden call Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger by his nickname "Big Ben," the length of the national anthem and the order of the songs performed by Bruce Springsteen at halftime.

Police: Man made drug calls in cop toilet

EVERETT, Wash., Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Police in Everett, Wash., said they arrested a man who allegedly tried to make a drug deal using a phone in a police headquarters bathroom.

The Everett Police Department said the 24-year-old suspect was arrested Wednesday after officers overheard him talking on his cell phone, the Everett Daily Herald reported.

Everett Police Sgt. Robert Goetz said a sergeant inside the restroom overheard the man's conversation and said the suspect was apparently trying to arrange drug deals.

"In a bit of disbelief, the sergeant told his partner what he had heard," Goetz said.

Goetz said the man appeared to believe he was inside a probation office rather than a police station.

"He asked an officer if he was a probation officer," Goetz said.

The suspect, who is under state supervision for an attempted robbery conviction, surrendered an amount of prescription drug Oxycodone to officers at the time of his arrest at the police station, Goetz said.

The man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail.

Study: Women's armpits smell of onions

GENEVA, Switzerland, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- A Swiss research group says a study it conducted found women's underarms typically smell like onions, while men's smell like cheese.

Firmenich of Geneva, Switzerland, said its research on the armpit sweat of 24 men and 25 women found that women typically release an onion-like smell due to the combination of bacteria and a sulfur-containing compound, The Daily Telegraph said.

The combination of the two underarm residents creates a chemical called thiol, which smells distinctly like onions.

Men, meanwhile, typically release a cheese-like smell from their underarms once working up a sweat, Firmenich said.

The cheese smell is the result of enzymes created by bacteria combining with an odorless fatty acid.

Professor Tim Jacob of Cardiff University said the test results would likely vary in other parts of the world.

"Other factors include what you eat, what you wash with, what you wear and what genes you inherit," the science of smell expert told the Telegraph.
