Winning numbers:

A Virginia woman parlayed a feeling to purchase 30 lottery tickets with the same numbers to win $150,000. Deborah Brown says she purchased 20 Pick 4 tickets with the numbers 1-0-3-1 after seeing those numbers “a couple of times during the day.” She then bought 10 more because she was really feeling it.

Selecting jurors:

Jury selection began Tuesday in a Harrisburg, Pennsylvan­ia, courtroom in the case of a white police officer accused of shooting to death an unarmed black teen last summer. The jurors will be taken to Allegheny County for the trial next week of Michael Rosfeld, a former East Pittsburgh Police officer charged with criminal homicide for the June 19 death of 17-yearold Antwon Rose II.

Drummer dies:

Hal Blaine, the Hall of Fame session drummer and virtual one-man soundtrack of the 1960s and ‘70s who played on the songs of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and the Beach Boys and laid down one of music’s most memorable opening riffs on the Ronettes’“Be My Baby,” died. Blaine, 90, died of natural causes at his home in Palm Desert, California.

Protests:

Algerian students protested against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s decision to delay presidenti­al elections indefinite­ly, as political opposition figures voiced their resistance amid an unpreceden­ted revolt against his 20-year leadership.

Rent free:

Matthew Charles, one of the first inmates released under the First Step Act, the criminalju­stice reform law Kim Kardashian West had championed, will live rent-free in Nashville for the next five years thanks to the reality TV star, who agreed to foot the bill after learning about Charles’ difficulty finding a home of his own due to his criminal record.
