An Orlando, Fla., mom came up with a creative new way to get her misbehaving daughter to leave her room and go to school — set the room on fire.
Adriene Latrice Ashley allegedly shoved burning paper under her daughter’s bedroom door when the youngster refused to come out. The paper set a chair afire, but no one was hurt.

A group of Danish lottery players became instant billionaires — but only for a few hours.
Lottery officials were red-faced after they sent out e-mail notices to 302 players, telling them they each had won $5 billion in a drawing.
Hours later, another e-mail went out, telling them they had actually only won about $50.
Here’s hoping no “winner” quit his job in the meantime.
