00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:09.519
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Jenny Mack with five

2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.720
new stories. You know who dropped by the Joe Demagiel

3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.879
Children's Hospital in Florida. Taylor Swift. Yeah. This happened in

4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.440
the middle of June. The mother of a seven year

5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:23.600
old transplant recipient said that her daughter touched Taylor's here

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:25.800
to make sure Taylor was real. I didn't know what

7
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:27.320
to say, I didn't know what to do. This is

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.920
Taylor Swift, America's sweetheart. Taylor and the young lady spoke

9
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.640
for about fifteen minutes. The young girl asked if she

10
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.759
could have Taylor Swift's phone number. It's unclear if Taylor

11
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.840
gave her the number or not. Taylor autographed an eras

12
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.520
to her concert booklet. Mom put it up on an

13
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.520
online auction for sale at a five hundred dollars price.

14
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.240
A Swift he bought it, recognized he was selling it

15
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.840
and told the family, you guys, hold on it all.

16
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.679
This drew attention it would go fund Me. Donations and

17
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.799
increments of thirteen, which is Taylor's favorite number, raised about

18
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.000
sixty thousand dollars. Jill Whitehouse is the chief of surgery

19
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.959
who posted a photo with Taylor Swift and said, undeniably

20
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.159
one of the kindest human beings I've ever had the

21
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.319
privilege of beating. Well. Police are watching the speed radar

22
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.680
and somebody's been clocked doing thirty two and at twenty.

23
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:20.120
It's a duck. Officers said they came across the speeding

24
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.680
duck while assessing images. Specifically, the duck was doing fifty

25
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.040
two kilometers an hour in a thirty kilometer hour zone.

26
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.560
I converted it for you earlier. Now what's interesting is

27
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.799
the police caught an image of the duck on the

28
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.799
same date reaching the same speed in the same place

29
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.000
in twenty eighteen. Could it be the same duck on

30
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.799
the same day doing the same speed. Police are considering

31
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.120
that the radar image might be a fake, but hope

32
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.400
the public would be able to enjoy the curious coincidence. Hey,

33
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.760
when you got a good story, go with it, especially

34
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.439
if you host this show. I'm saying, it's the same duck.

35
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.879
How long do ducks live? A mallard lives five to

36
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.359
ten years. Clearly the same duck. I'm going with it.

37
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.200
It's the same duck. Meanwhile, in China, a hotel was

38
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.479
told to cut it out with the Red Panda wake

39
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.919
up Call service. What happened is they would bring red

40
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.840
pandas into the guest rooms and let the red pandas

41
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.879
climb onto the beds. Hotel officials said there are four

42
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.159
red pandas at the hotel. They would take turns making

43
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.599
the visits to guest rooms. How long they would spend

44
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.800
with a guest depending on the panda's mood and the

45
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.000
temperament on the day. In China, they are second class

46
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.840
protected animals. Reds are also listed as an endangered species

47
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.960
on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List

48
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.800
of Threatened Species. Anyway, they are cutting it out, that's

49
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:44.199
good news. In Kentucky, a woman found an unscratched lottery

50
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.879
ticket in the trash. What do you think happened? You

51
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.080
know how this show works. Yep? She won eighty thousand dollars.

52
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.520
Pamela told lottery officials a five dollars Flamingo Bingo scratch

53
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.759
off ticket had caught her eye and she decided to

54
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.400
get one. She said, I had this premition and go

55
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.240
get that ticket. She got four Flamingo Bingo tickets. They

56
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.319
laid on the canter all day long. I'd forgotten about them.

57
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.960
So at around eleven thirty the night, I decided to

58
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:09.919
play them. The first three weren't winners, so I put

59
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.400
him in the trash and then I was like, hey,

60
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.599
worst ticket number four. I looked on the trash and

61
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.280
I was like, oh my gosh, I threw it away.

62
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.159
She scratched it off eighty thousand dollars. And let's finish

63
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.360
off today with bad news. Now I already did a

64
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.080
lottery ticket. I've got a second lottery story for you today,

65
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.039
but today is four good news stories and a bad

66
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.280
news story. Listen to this. In Norway, a currency conversion

67
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.560
error led to at least forty seven thousand people being told, hey,

68
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.400
you won the big lottery. One of the players was

69
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.159
told he had won one point two million kroner that's

70
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.319
around one hundred and nineteen thousand dollars. But psych, you

71
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.159
only won one hundred and twenty five kroner that's twelve

72
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.840
dollars and forty cents. He told the Guardian. You could

73
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.680
have been really unlucky and spent a large amount of

74
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.639
money and then found out it wasn't true. Thankfully, we

75
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.680
kept our heads cool and realized wasn't meant to better company.

76
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.000
Sincerely apologized as to everyone who is notified of an

77
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.840
incorrect prize amount. And those are your four news stories

78
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.039
for today and one bad news story bad news for you,

79
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.240
you didn't win the lottery, And do you have an

80
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:14.879
awesome day
