Could this be the best “decked” house in the country? Possibly. Congrats to Tony Iorio Sr. for being chosen as one of the 25 finalists in our Deck the House contest. We had tons of national entries in this year’s Deck the House contest and in our quest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in the country, we’ve seen everything from a life-size Santa to holiday lights so bright they could blind the neighbors. We loved seeing everyone’s holiday spirit, but Deck the House isn’t over yet. We’re still looking for the one home so spectacularly decorated that it could be the national grand prize winner of our contest—and it could be a home from right here in Glen Burnie. Until Dec. 28, vote in our contest to help this entry win $100,…

A jackpot winner in Wednesday night's Powerball drawing will pull down a $550 million prize with a $360.2 million dollar cash option. Since Maryland began participating in the multi-state lottery game back in January 2010, two Powerball jackpot winner have been sold in the state.
