"Ask anyone that truly knows me and they'll tell you I'm just an ordinary guy from Chicago that loves his family and the Cubbies!"
Andrew Cooper, 33 and a Chicago native, had been having a terrible week. "I was stressed out and nothing seemed to be going my way but the Cubs were winning and I was alive so that was my silver lining" he told Jake Childs. "When the Cubs were down 3-1 and everyone counted them out I know this was the time to cheer harder."
Andrew, being a life long Cubs fan, said he had watched Back to the Future 2 the day before and it motivated him to bet on the Cubs. "I watched the movie and asked myself what if there was a real catch to this so I took $200 and placed a bet that they'd come back to win in game 7".
The catch paid off! Andrew placed a 15,000 to 1 odds bet on the Chicago Cubs to win the World Series and is not only the happiest winner but quite possibly the luckiest. Andrew even went so far as to place an additional bet stating the Cubs would win the game 8-7 but in the 9th inning instead of the 10th. Because of his scoring prediction bet he was awarded an addition $100,000.
(In total he was awarded an estimated $2.23 million after taxes.)

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
