UFO ABODE SOLD

An out-of-this-world house featured in Saturday's Extra! has been sold for a down-to- Earth price. The flying saucer- shaped home - which Extra! compared with Colorado's Sleeper House - went for $135,000 at auction in Chattanooga, Tenn.

IT'S A WINNER

A Powerball ticket sold in Denver matched the first five numbers in Saturday's drawing to win the game's second prize of $200,000. The Colorado Lottery says the ticket was sold at a Circle K convenience store on Chambers Road.
