LEELANAU HISTORY
LEELANAU HISTORY
Jon Ornée of Holland, Michigan, describes himself as an “aspiring adventurer.” He has earned that moniker over the last five days. Friday, Ornée swam 7.4 miles between Pyramid Point and the southern tip of North Manitou Island in two hours and 50 minutes. Then Monday, Ornée and four friends — Ben Blake, Grand Rapids, Nick DeHaan. Grand Rapids, Jesse Gould, Grand Blanc, and Sean Murphy, Hudsonville — set the team time trial record for bicycle riding across Michigan with an average speed of 24.7 mph. *** A local resident hit the literal jackpot Saturday night. The lucky Michigan Lottery player won $80 million after purchasing a Powerball ticket from Barrels & Barrels in Suttons Bay, according to a press release from the Michigan Lottery. The ticket matched winning numbers 1, 9, 22, 36, 68 and the Powerball 22, marking just the fourth time a Michigan player has won the Powerball jackpot since being offered by the state in 2010, according to the release. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM
