She bought the ticket at a Michigan Lottery kiosk inside the Kroger store at 2200 E. 12 Mile Road in Royal Oak. More: Where biggest Michigan Lottery tickets in September were sold "The next day, I scanned the ticket on the Michigan Lottery app to check it," Moore told the Michigan Lottery. "When $1 million came up on my phone screen, I almost fell out of my chair! I scanned the ticket again, and then a third time because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing." Moore recently claimed her prize and plans to use the money to pay off her mortgage and save the remainder.

Banta returns as Detroit Catholic Central football wins regional title

CLARKSTON — Duke Banta led Detroit Catholic Central out of the locker room. Then the senior quarterback led the defending state champions to their third straight Division 1 regional title. Banta returned from a broken collarbone suffered in a Week 6 win over Toledo Central Catholic. He completed eight passes for 66 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 21-7 win Friday, Nov. 13, at Clarkston. Catholic Central (11-1) advances to the Nov. 21 state semifinal against East Kentwood or Portage Central at a neutral site yet to be announced. More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter Banta looked rusty in his first game back, but that was understandable. He was also without Texas Tech commit and four-star senior Gideon Gash, who was ruled out with an injury in a game-time decision. But Catholic Central’s defense, special teams and running game had his back. After Clarkston grabbed a 7-0 lead on Ty Duffy’s 3-yard run, Catholic Central kept giving Banta short fields. Late in the first quarter, Kaden Gonzales blocked a punt to give the offense possession at the Clarkston 7. Moments later, Jalen Montlouis scored on a 1-yard run. Midway through the second quarter, A’Mari

How Milford football went from 'skinny kids on the block' to regional final

Milford's players and coaches are still learning new details about each other, months into a Michigan high school football season where seemingly every moment is shared, "I learned more about our team this week," Milford coach Andrew Micovich said Monday, Nov. 9. "We had some birthdays that we usually don't get to celebrate because we are usually done by this time." Those new celebrations are being squeezed around film sessions and practices as Milford continues with the most successful football season in recent program history. The Mavericks, 10-1, are alive as one of the final eight teams remaining in Division 2 in the MHSAA football playoffs, after winning a district championship last week for the first time since 2006. After sharing the Lakes Valley Conference title for the program's first conference title since 2006, Milford went into the playoffs and defeated Midland and Midland Dow to extend its winning streak to seven. "This is the deepest into the calendar I've ever played in all my years of football," said senior receiver Bryce Marszalek, a Northwood baseball commit. "I never thought I'd be playing football this late, but I'm excited. And I think we have a good shot to make it

Brighton considers altering setback rules for new chicken ordinance

Brighton councilmembers are split over whether to make changes to the municipality's chicken ordinance, just nine months after approving it. Brighton City Council approved an ordinance allowing residents to keep up to six chickens for personal use with a permit in February. Commercial uses, such as selling eggs, remain prohibited. Councilmember Susan Gardner wants officials to consider reducing the required setback from ten feet to five. She said accessory structures should have a common five-foot setback, so chicken coops can later be repurposed. "In the beginning, we do compare surrounding areas," Gardner said during a meeting Nov. 10. "We consider what has worked (well) in other communities — but then when you apply it to your own community, it gives an opportunity to get some feedback or maybe have a little bit of reflection on what’s working or maybe what could be changed.” Mayor Pro-Tem Jim Bohn opposed changing the ordinance, arguing the discussion was only coming up because one resident “created his own hardship” by putting up a chicken coop before chickens were permitted. Gardner said the discussion wasn't intended to appease anyone but to consider what's best for the community. She noted councilmembers have revisited and changed other

Livonia Franklin football wants to keep post-victory tradition going

LIVONIA — Adversity can tear some teams apart. For Livonia Franklin (9-2), it did the opposite. A close call in Week 7 sparked the six-game winning streak that has carried Franklin through the Division 2 playoffs. After edging Allen Park, 35-28, in the opener, Franklin upset unbeaten Gibraltar Carlson , 17-6, to capture its 10th district title and first since winning back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022. Franklin visits Grosse Pointe South (10-1) Friday, Nov. 13, with a shot at the state semifinals for the fifth time in program history. That Week 7 scare against 1-8 White Lake Lakeland set everything in motion. Franklin trailed 14-0 before rallying for a 35-28 victory. “That game really taught us that we can’t take any team lightly, no matter what their record is,” junior Tyler Brown said. “We can’t over complicate how we prepare. We’ve just got to work hard no matter who the opponent is.” More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter Instead of pointing fingers, the players leaned on their chemistry.

Berkley E-Bike Sidewalk Ban Takes Effect

E-bikes have soared in popularity over the last few years for numerous reasons. They are cheap (compared to cars), convenient, and fun to ride. Recently, the city of Berkley has banned E-bikes, E-motos, electric scooters, and electric skateboards from the sidewalks because they want to keep pedestrians safe and prevent injuries caused by E-bike crashes. E-bikes have been getting more and more popular every year, and people have gotten tired of them and want new laws. A lot of kids have E-bikes, and there have been safety concerns because of the lack of experience these drivers may have. The city classifies an E-bike as any electric-powered bike that is capable of going over twenty-eight MPH. Examples of these include Surrons, Rad Power Bikes, Talaria Sting, etc. But what is the difference between E-bikes and E-motos?
