Happy Saturday, Los Angeles County! No matter how rough your week was, you probably wouldn't want to trade places with the lady who may have bought the $26 million-winning SuperLotto ticket only to destroy it by accident in the laundry.
We have some fun events to get you through the weekend, and a quick wrap on the region's most intriguing stories.
Saturday's Weather:
Residents can expect unseasonably cool temperatures with a high of 66 degrees in Los Angeles and a 30 percent chance of light rain Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service.
Patch Pick: It was a toss-up. We couldn't decide between the incredible video of a cat that jumped from a burning 5-story building and landed on his feet or the four-year-old cutie who ordered $2,600 worth of Spongebob popsicles off of Amazon. Enjoy both (here and here)!
Here are the top 5 stories in Los Angeles County today.
