Luis Briseno won $10 million from a winning Royal Riches scratcher bought at Fruitvale Bottles & Liquor at 3715 International Blvd. in Oakland, the lottery said Friday. That's the largest recent jackpot in the state since June, when an unnamed winner scored a $10 million win from a scratcher bought in Barley Bin Liquor in Whittier, and Steven Muhlestein won a $10 million Super Bonus in May from a scratcher sold at Vintage Wine Shoppe & Liquor in Concord.

The cost of putting California's partisan redistricting ballot measure before voters this fall is expected to run the state $282.6 million, eclipsing the final bill of the last statewide special election. As Gov. Gavin Newsom and his allies signed off on Proposition 50 last month a plan to counteract an effort by Texas Republicans to gerrymander the state's congressional maps and pick up GOP seats in the U.S. House the governor vowed to reimburse counties for the hefty costs of an unexpected election.

The company saw 18 worker suicide attempts at one plant in 2010 alone. But worker rights at Foxconn have seen some improvements since 2010, largely due to intense international pressure following the suicides and subsequent labor unrest. However, reports from labor watchdogs indicate that these gains have been inconsistent and, in many cases, have failed to create a genuinely safe and equitable work environment. Many fundamental issues particularly excessive hours, low pay and limits on freedom of association persist.

California turned 175 on September 9, which means it's time to celebrate the only way the Golden State knows how: with alcohol that costs more than rent and tastes like optimism mixed with wildfire smoke. A concoction that shakes you up! Forget cake. Forget balloons. This is a state with a history that reads like a fantasy sci-fi novella, with chapters on the Gold Rush, the 1906 earthquake, Charles Manson, Hollywood's Golden Age, Silicon Valley, and the rise of agentic artificial intelligence.

It should go without saying that when you are looking for an attorney to set up your estate plan, especially if you have children you want to pass along money or possessions to, you need to feel absolutely comfortable that whatever documents are set up are done with your best interest in mind. There is no question that what this original lawyer did to this Redditor is both morally and ethically wrong.

Driving the news: The ruling temporarily blocks the July court order that stopped ICE from targeting California residents based on race, language and work while a lawsuit challenging the action makes its way through the courts, with a hearing scheduled for Sept. 24. Zoom in: Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in concurrence with the decision that U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong's order went too far in its restrictions on how ICE agents stop and question people.

A quick-moving wildfire burned homes in a California Gold Rush town settled around 1850 by Chinese miners who were driven out of a nearby camp and the blaze grew without containment on Wednesday. The fire rapidly expanded to 10 sq miles (26 sq km) in size, forcing the evacuation Tuesday of the Chinese Camp town and surrounding highways, according to CalFire, the state's chief fire agency. There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths.

The commutation, one of 10 granted by the governor Friday, allows Cuong Tran to make his case for parole earlier than expected. "This act of clemency for Mr. Tran does not minimize or forgive his conduct or the harm it caused," Newsom wrote in the commutation. "It does recognize the work he has done since to transform himself." In 2011, Tran, then 31, tried to hire a hit man at his younger brother's request, but the assassin was actually an undercover San Jose police officer,

Rita Moreno doesn't just bring her dynamic persona to classic films like West Side Story and Singin' in the Rain. The EGOT winner also infuses her homes with that same bright, bombastic energy.

For the first time in nearly a decade, federal officials on Tuesday auctioned off leases for new geothermal energy projects in California - and all 13 parcels offered received bids. Dozens of buyers participated in the Bureau of Land Management's online sale of 10-year leases on 23,000 acres in Imperial, Lassen and Modoc counties. Geothermal is a growing source of energy that can produce clean electricity 24 hours a day, unlike wind and solar power.

Ice cream might be the ultimate summer treat. Its cold, frozen nature means it easily cools you down on a hot day while providing you a sweet hit of flavor. Ice cream also brings back memories of warm summer days off school in childhood. Given this, it should come as no surprise that the state that eats the most ice cream is a warm, sunny locale: California.
