Shops stock Columbus Halloween costumes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MORGANTOWN, W.Va.- Business is anything but Oat for costume shops stocked with Christopher Columbus gear for Halloween. "We are going absolutely crazy right now with Christopher Columbus," said Ken Fox of Magic Makers Costumes in Huntington. "That carries over to your fan cy parties for people to be King Ferdinand, Queen Isabella and Columbus. We anticipated that and got ready for it." Schools and organizations around Williamsport, Pa., have been renting Columbus-period costumes for weeks during this 500th anniversary of the explor er's voyage, said Barbara Draw- baugh of Watkins Costumes. "We don't normally rent a lot of Columbus stuff," Diawbaugh said. At Stages costumes in Wheel ing, a mere $35 will rent a drab costume portraying Columbus as he might have appeared when he set foot in the New World. "But that's not what they want. They want this glorified shiny gold, king-like Columbus because they want to look good rather than be authentic," said owner Dan Fincham. In Columbus, Ga., anything re lated to the 15th century is hot for Halloween. Lottery winner shares $14 million with boss THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LANSING, Mich. — When Rita Downing borrowed money from her boss to buy a lot tery ticket, she promised she would split the loot 50-50 if she won. Much to the surprise of both of them, her promise came true. Downing, 36, said she learned her ticket won a $14 million Michigan lottery jackpot on Friday. Heo "I threw the newspaper out Friday morning and then I thought, 'Better check the Michigan Lottery numbers,"' she said. "When I saw the numbers, I thought to myself, 'Nah, maybe we matched four numbers.' "So, I asked my husband to double-check them. I couldn't believe it." Downing, who lives in Goshen, Ind., about 20 miles south of the Michigan state line, knew what she had to do. Her boss, Larry Schlabach, president of Su perior Rigging & Erecting Inc., said Downing called him Friday on his car phone to tell him the news. "She was screaming, 'We won! we won!'" said Schlabach, 43. "I said, 'Won what?' She screamed, 'The Michigan Lotto jackpot!' I didn't believe her, but then her husband got on the phone and said, 'You really did win.' I'm still in shock."
