BIG MONEY
ROTC Student won $10,000 last month from the lottery
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Tyler Stimac received an extra Christmas present this year — $10,000, courtesy of the Kansas Lottery.
Stimac, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., and an active-duty Marine, won on a $1 Quick Pick ticket Dec. 29. He said he had forgotten about the ticket until he was restlessly throwing out old numbers several days after the drawing. After he checked the numbers online at 3 a.m. while fighting insomnia, he woke his wife, Ashley,
to share the news.
"She was mad at me" Stimac said. "She thought I was joking and said, 'that's not even funny.'
But the cash was no joke — though the phone calls Stimac gets to buy breakfast for his fellow ROTO members may be.
The couple put the money toward improvement of their home and paying off some Christmas debt.
"It's not a huge sum, but it's really nice just to have it as a cushion," Stimac said.

ODD NEWS
Owl attacks Chico the chihuahua
CRYSTAL LAKE, III. — An owl attack has left a 4-pound Chihuahua with a healthy fear of the dark.
The dog's owner says George Kalomiris they were walking one night outside when a great horned owl swooped down and tried to fly away with the dog.
Kalomiris says he kept a firm grip on Chico's leash as the bird dragged the dog across the side walk, and he managed to scare the owl away.
Kalomiris says the dog now refuses to go outside at night.
