An Indian Land man and his wife are $2 million richer after matching all six numbers in the Feb. 22 Powerball drawing.

A proposed firearms ordinance was shot down by Lancaster County Council on Monday night.
Council members, as well as representatives from a special citizens committee, had been discussing the idea of a negligent-shooting ordinance for months, ever since the shooting death of a horse on a Panhandle ranch last summer.
But the proposed ordinance was nixed by council Monday after members heard the committee’s recommendation to instead focus on existing state laws.
