A Southern California man realized he won $1.2 million in the California Lottery Mega Millions after a coworker jokingly texted him about winning.
Michael Chavez said it all happened on election night, Nov. 5, which was also the drawing for the $303 million jackpot.
“I actually woke up in the middle of the night to check the election results to see who won for president, not Mega Millions,” Chavez told the California Lottery.
Chavez said he went back to sleep, but later that morning he remembered he forgot to tell his coworkers that he would not be at work. He then received a funny but life-changing text from his coworker.
“He kidded me if the reason I wasn’t at work was because I had won the million. He even jokingly congratulated me,” Chavez said.
The coworker had even sent him a screenshot of the Mega Millions results.
After taking a close look at the screenshot, Chavez realized he did win the lottery, matching five of the six numbers, a total of $1,214,818.
“I could not believe my eyes,” said Chavez.
The Mega Millions ticket was purchased at Lake Liquor in Lakewood, who will also get $6,000 for selling the winning ticket. The winning numbers for that drawing were 2-24-25-52-58 and the Mega number was 9.
Chavez said had it not been for that text, he doesn’t know when he would have checked the ticket.
“I’ll never forget election night or especially that text,” he said.

Given the announcement of the free version of the GitHub Copilot, we take a more detailed look at recent developments.
Of course here at IProgrammer we’ve covered the initial announcement:
GitHub has launched GitHub Copilot Free, a free version of Copilot that provides limited access to selected features of Copilot and is automatically integrated into VS Code. The free tier is aimed at individual GitHub customers who don’t have access to Copilot through an organization or enterprise. The news coincides with GitHub having 150 million developers on GitHub.
What the plan gives is :
2000 code completions/month
50 chat requests/month
64k context window for a seamless development experience
Looks enough, before even considering upgrading to the Pro version.
This was followed by this month’s Jetbrains announcement that the new free plan for GitHub Copilot has become available for everyone on JetBrains IDEs:
Whether you use IntelliJ IDEA (Ultimate, Community, Educational), PyCharm(Professional, Community, Educational), WebStorm, PhpStorm, Rider, or any other compatible JetBrains IDEs, you can now take advantage of this free plan to assist you in your development.
With this Free Plan, you can enable GitHub Copilot using just your GitHub account—no trials, subscriptions, or credit cards required.
For it to be activated inside your favorite Jetbrains IDE, you should take the following actions :
Open your JetBrains IDE, go to the “Plugins” section, search for “GitHub Copilot”, and click “Install.”
Open the Copilot Chat Window
Activate Your Free Plan
After activating your account, return to this welcome guide and click Sign in to GitHub to continue.
Done. Now if you’ve never used GitHub Copilot before, you’ll need to find your bearings. We are here for that too.
Use it like ChatGPT; you can chat with copilot like you do with ChatGPT.
When the context is clear, Copilot provides direct and relevant answers. When it isn’t, Copilot guides you by asking follow-up questions to ensure clarity and precision.
This leads to:
More Engagement: Developers spend less time figuring out how to phrase their prompts and more time focused on the task at hand.
Less Complexity: Copilot’s ability to guide and clarify reduces the need for developers to navigate complex intent systems.
Increased Productivity: With less back-and-forth and more focused responses, developers can move faster through their workflows.
Watch the video to understand how it works:
If the default LLM foundation model doesn’t fit your needs then you can change it. You can discover new Models by going through the Github Marketplace, where you can explore them too check their description, capabilities and compatibility.
The model catalog currently includes mainstream models like :
Phi04
OpenAI o1
Llama-3.3.-70B-Instruct
Ministral 3B
Unfortunately IBM’s Granite, which are great for coding, are not in the list, but it is being constaly updated, so maybe they will be included in the future.
Are you ready to dive into the world of Github Copilot? Look no further than this mega thread to find all the information you need to know about this revolutionary AI-powered coding assistant.
