Understandably, this man doesn’t want to come forward and admit to the entire world that he not only forgot to check the lottery numbers, but lost a $1 million slip of paper. It’s bad enough that people who know him have surely recognized him from that surveillance footage. While it’s clear that he was the person who bought the ticket, that isn’t enough to collect the $1.1 million in winnings. According to the ancient and mystical rules of Powerball, he has to present the original ticket. He doesn’t have it. The deadline passed on Thursday, and he was unable to find the ticket in time.
The California Lottery says that unclaimed prizes go to public schools. We suggest that they use it to fund a personal finance curriculum: perhaps one that includes lessons on how to play the lottery without ever losing. Or at least how to successfully use bulletin boards to keep potentially important papers from being swept into the trash.

The accelerator pedal might just be one of the more important components of a vehicle, so when reports start surfacing that the pedal might break or bend, that’s kind of a big deal. Such is the case for more than 200,000 Kia Soul vehicles that are now subject to a safety recall.
According to a notice [PDF] from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Kia is recalling 208,858 model year 2014 and 2015 gas and electric Soul compact vehicles because the gas pedal may bend or fracture.
Kia says that if the pedal becomes bent or splits, the driver would likely have difficulty accelerating, which in turn, could lead to an increased risk of a crash.
A chronology [PDF] submitted to NHTSA shows that Kia first became aware of the issue in October 2014 through vehicle warranty claims. In all, the company received 12 warranty claims related to the pedals, but no consumer complaints.
A subsequent evaluation of accelerator pedals collected by Kia found they could fracture due to excessive force. At that point, the manufacturer opted to conduct a voluntary recall.
Yes. They are. Racked looked into the Lululemon resale market, and discovered an entire hidden world. Instead of getting a discount on yoga pants that someone else has already sweated in, this business is actually about taking merchandise that’s scarce, holding on to it until it’s valuable, and then reselling it.
This works for items that are brand new with tags, but used items retain their value because of the durability the clothes. The company doesn’t condone this secondary market, but at the same time offers limited-edition products and brings different items in different colors into and out of circulation. This makes the items artificially scarce, and therefore valuable to someone.
In an interview, the CEO of Tradesy told Racked that the secondary market for Lululemon gear is something that they hadn’t really anticipated. “We always see markups in rare Chanel bags or vintage Louis Vuitton, so it’s interesting to see it happening with pants that make your butt look good and only retail for $80.”
What kind of markups? How about some rare running shorts that are currently bid up to $1,000 on eBay? Limited-edition leggings with a tie-dyed effect sell for hundreds of dollars.
One flipper describes searching resale values on eBay from the dressing room of her local Lululemon outlet. Yet this flipper, who makes a nice profit simply flipping Lululemon products on eBay, worries that she could end up banned from the company’s stores, just like how Sephora bans suspected makeup resellers from making online purchases.

Yes, yes, we know — every time you walk into a library or used bookstore, you just looooove the smell of old books. I’m right there with you, I mean I love getting nose-deep in an old copy of Crime and Punishment, but I can’t say I want to tingle the olfactory organs of friends and strangers alike with the scent.
But because there’s probably someone out there who will want to buy it, a company called Sweet Tea Apothecary (via New York Magazine) has mixed up a concoction it calls “Dead Writers” to fool your nose into thinking you’re a musty old book, just waiting to be whiffed.
At $80 for one-ounce, the unisex fragrance is an oil perfume that “evokes the feeling of sitting in an old library chair paging through yellowed copies of Hemingway, Shakespeare, Fitzgerald, Poe, and more,” the company’s site says.
More specifically, it “contains black tea, vetiver, clove, musk, vanilla, heliotrope, and tobacco.” It’s part of a fragrance lined inspired by historic figures and places — you can also smell like Marie Antoinette (pre-guillotine, probably) and Henry VIII (pre-gout/wife-executing, hopefully).
Again, love those old books. Not quite sure if I’d love smelling like one.
