Powerball jackpot highest Student Stores pharmacy

celebrates grand opening
in American history
The state lottery has generated
$65 million in revenue.

For those willing to brave the odds, a $2

investment is the only thing standing in the
way of a chance to win the largest lottery
jackpot in United States history.
The jackpot for the Powerball lottery
has reached an astounding $1.5 billion
if claimed as a lump sum, the value of
the prize is an estimated $930 million.
Winners can either claim their prize in the
form of a one-time payment or be paid the
full value of the winnings over the course of
30 years.
The jackpot reaching record-breaking
proportions is no accident last fall,
the Multi-State Lottery Association
decreased the odds of winning from
approximately 1 in 175 million to 1 in
more than 290 million.
To win the jackpot, players must choose
the same five numbers and Powerball
drawn by lottery officials on Wednesday
and Saturday nights.
Despite the odds, first year biology major
Megan Kuhn said shed buy a ticket.
Its $2, why not? she said.
If she won, she said shed drop out of
school and use the money to travel the
world.
Political science major Luke De Mott
had a clear idea of what he would do with
the nearly $1.5 billion in winnings.
Id probably pay for all of my
education and rent an apartment in the

Marina District of San Francisco and live

there, De Mott said.
Despite the whopping payout, he said he
still doesnt think hell buy a lottery ticket
in the future.
It depends on the price of the actual
thing. But if it was anywhere above a buck,
I probably wouldnt, he said.
As might be expected, Powerball ticket
sales have skyrocketed since the prize
increased.
If you look at the drawing that
happened on the sixth of January and then
the drawing that happened on the ninth
of January, ticket sales in North Carolina
doubled just between those two drawings
because of how big the jackpot was getting,
said Kathleen Jacob, spokesperson for the
North Carolina Lottery.
But the big winner wont be the only
one to reap the benefits of the massive
jackpot.
In North Carolina, weve generated over
$65 million in Powerball ticket sales and of
that $65 million, $25 million of that will be
going to education, Jacob said.
She also added that these numbers do
not include revenue after the last drawing
on Jan. 9.
Despite the lure of the jackpot, Jacob
urges any would-be millionaire to be
reasonable when buying tickets.
You will see people buying three or
five tickets at a time, but our official
stance is that it only takes one ticket to
win the most important thing is that
its for fun and its raising money for
education, she said.

All up in your business

The pharmacy will

be open Monday
through Saturday.

UNC Student Stores

welcomes its newest addition
today with the grand opening
of the Universitys second
on-campus pharmacy.
The Student Stores
Pharmacy will be next to the
textbook and course materials
department on the third
floor. Until now, Campus
Health Services only had one
pharmacy on the ground floor
of Campus Health.
The Student Stores
Pharmacy provides a more traditional retail or community-type
pharmacy, where our main focus
is really filling prescriptions for
students, faculty and staff, said
Amy Sauls, Campus Healths
pharmacy director.
While the pharmacy at
Campus Health also orders
and supplies medications used
throughout the clinic and by the
Universitys sports teams, Sauls
said the Student Stores location
provides its own added convenience by opening on Saturdays
and providing over-the-counter
pharmaceutical products.
Were one pharmacy team,

but with two pharmacies,

Sauls said.
She said two part-time
pharmacists, Gretchen
Jenkins and Argelia Goodner,
were hired specifically for the
new pharmacy.
We want there to be some
continuity of the pharmacists
there, so they can get to know
their patients, Sauls said.
Jenkins said the new
pharmacy facilitates accessible
healthcare for students, faculty
and staff. Students filling
prescriptions also have the
option to charge copays and
prescription costs to their
student accounts.
With the pharmacy being
so visible, we want to be a
good resource for students if
they have any questions about
medications or over-thecounter items, Jenkins said.
Both Argelia and I are very
open to answering questions
and talking to students.
With several years of
experience as a retail pharmacist,
Jenkins said operations at the
Student Stores space are very
similar to those at retail locations
such as Walgreens and CVS.
We have a really good
support system with Student
Stores being very helpful, and
the transition has been very
smooth, Jenkins said.
Associate Vice Chancellor for
Campus Enterprises Brad Ives

Part of a periodic update

on local businesses.

We want there to
be some continuity
of the pharmacists
there.
Amy Sauls
Campus Healths pharmacy director

provided a statement about the

partnership between Student
Stores and the pharmacy.
We are pleased to partner
with Campus Health Services to
provide a pharmacy operation
in the Student Stores as an
improved convenience for the
campus community, Ives said.
Even though the space for
the new pharmacy is rented
from Student Stores, Sauls said
the pharmacy could continue
to occupy its space if recently
discussed proposals to privatize
Student Stores move forward.
The grand opening will
include free giveaways during
the day for stopping by the
pharmacy, and visitors are
encouraged to enter to win a
$200 Student Stores gift card.
The Student Stores
Pharmacy will be open Monday
through Friday, from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., as well as Saturdays
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
So far, all weve gotten are
positive responses, Sauls said.

Fitzgeralds closes on Franklin Street

Meatball kitchen opens in Carrboro

Los Pos to be replaced by new hotel

The luck of the Irish has run out for Fitzgeralds Irish
sports bar in Chapel Hill.
Once located at 206 W. Franklin St., the business
announced its permanent closure on Jan. 4.
Fitzgeralds was a popular spot for students to eat,
drink and watch Carolina sports.
Many students will now have to take their business
elsewhere.
In their closing announcement, Fitzgeralds
encouraged customers to check out their Charlotte
location, one of their two open locations.
Fitzgeralds second location is in Greenville, N.C.
First-year student Jabril Rice said he thinks
Fitzgeralds was ousted by competing restaurants on
Franklin Street.
I think its something that happens on Franklin a lot,
with all the businesses closing, Rice said. I hear more
people talking about Top of the Hill; I dont hear people
talking about Fitzgeralds.
A new sports bar will be opening in place of
Fitzgeralds.

The Shoppe Bar and Meatball Kitchen is Carrboros

newest restaurant addition.
The restaurant quietly opened in late September in
the 300 East Main plaza.
The Shoppe serves an eclectic, meatball-centered
menu.
Manager Scott Kleczkowski said, so far, business is
steady and that theyve been getting a lot of attention for
their menu.
Were a very specific concept, Kleczkowski said.
We sell only meatballs, the best meatballs you can
get. Its a modern twist on traditional comfort food.
Kleczkowski assures that prices are affordable, and
you wont leave hungry.
We also run quite a few specials, Kleczkowski said.
The Shoppes specials include $6 meatball hoagies
on Mondays and half off of whiskey and wine on
Wednesdays.
The Shoppe also serves over 40 craft beers and 60
different kinds of bourbons.
The Shoppe is located at 370 E. Main St.

Its time for Chapel Hill to say goodbye to Los Potrillos,

often called Los Pos, a popular Mexican restaurant at 220
W. Rosemary St.
Los Pos offered everything from the classic taco to
more unique menu options.
Manager Leslie Amador said the restaurant is set to
close by the end of February.
Our landlord sold the property so our lease cannot be
renewed, Amador said in an email, regarding the reason
why Los Pos will be closing.
The property was sold to make room for the new
Marriott AC Hotel coming soon to Chapel Hill.
Marriotts AC chain originates from Mediterranean
Europe and is slowly moving into the U.S.
The hotel is set to have four stories with 123 guest
rooms and two levels of below grade parking.
The hotel is expected to bring in around $192,000 in
general tax revenue for Chapel Hill.
The new hotel will be located at the corner of West
Rosemary Street and Church Street, next to the bar and
restaurant La Residence.
