What people are talking about today: Hurricane Willa is projected to make landfall this afternoon or evening. The National Hurricane Center is calling it an “extremely dangerous” storm that’s “expected to produce life-threatening storm surge, wind and rainfall over portions of west-central and southwestern Mexico.” We’re keeping an eye on @weatherchannel on Twitter.
Who wants to be a millionaire?: With lottery fever spreading across America, CNN helpfully offers “The do’s and don’ts of office lottery pools,” including “Don’t use cash” (“If possible, pay your pool leader with an electronic account, such as PayPal or Venmo, so you have written confirmation of your payment for a certain lottery”). In other words: Trust no one. Meanwhile, Chipotle, somewhat less helpfully, tweets that the “the Mega Millions jackpot is now at 653,061,224 sides of guac.” Plus a depressing side note from CNBC: “Here’s the tax bite on $1.6 billion Mega Millions and $620 million Powerball jackpots.”
