Good morning, Ogden.

Many Utah residents drove to the busy On the Run Gas Station in Malad to buy tickets for the largest ever $1.3 billion Powerball lottery, with long lines on Saturday.

The station said sales surged as local players hoped a lucky ticket might change their lives—one said he planned to keep life simple if he won.

At Lindquist Field Saturday, Raptors fans saw a new giant flag honoring Major Brent Taylor during the 24th anniversary of 9/11—over 300 volunteers helped carry both heavy flags to mark the event.

The new flag will fly in Coldwater Canyon for two weeks in November.

Lawmakers' attorneys asked the Utah Supreme Court to pause a lower court judge’s order requiring new congressional districts, arguing that drawing maps without an independent commission conflicts with Proposition 4 — they warned the tight timeline could harm Utahns' right to fair redistricting. The Legislature must submit a draft map by Sept. 25 and hold a special session Oct. 6 so a compliant map can be used for the 2026 elections.

John Shin, a concert violinist, was held in an ICE detention facility in Colorado for 17 days before returning home to Utah on a $25,000 bond—he now wears an ankle monitor while the federal government investigates his marriage.

His case raises questions about immigration procedures and ongoing deportation efforts.
