1 I Morning Sentinel, Monday, December 16; 1985 Portland family wins Megabucks jackpot PORTLAND (AP) The winning ticket in the Tri-State Megabucks lottery was held by three members of a Portland family, who will share the $648.000 jackpot. James and Janet Gleason and Mrs. Gleason's mother. Irene Seybolt, bought the ticket together and will share $32,400 each year for 20 years. still numb." Mrs.

Gleason said Sunday night. Her 32-year-old husband, a bus driver for the Metro public transit Continued from Page 1 Burgess says one effect of Maine's restrictions in-state banks is that is makes their credit cards more attractive to consumers than most out-of-state cards. If that's so, then why do people buy plastic from -state banks, and why does the state care if they do? Burgess thinks some Mainers are lured in without realizing the costs. Possibly because the out-ofstate banks are bigger, they offer credit lines, says Burgess. "That's what draws people in.

He thinks consumers would react differently if they were aware that there's no grace period on some cards before interest starts accumulating on their charges system, bought the ticket at 6 p.m. Saturday, just 112 hours before the deadline. Mrs. Gleason said she and her mother had picked five numbers each when the Tri-State Megabucks game began and have been claying those numbers each, week when they buy $10 worth of tickets. They won $10 in the game last week.

The Gleasons were not sure what they will spend the money on but said they would give some to a charity that benefits needy children at Christmas: and 1 if they were more sensitive to the interest rates that are charged. Burgess also fears if some Mainers will be lured into buying the cards at no fees or uncompetitively low fees and that the out -ofstate banks will raise the charges later, counting on most consumers not wanting to go through the inconvenient process of applying for a cheaper card elsewhere. The state action is partly aimed at stopping a practice in which. some Maine merchants have contracted with an out-ofstate bank to issue their own credit card, which again exceeds instate restrictions. Burgess calls that arrangement "kind of an end-run around state law.

Scientists debating dinosaurs' demise SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Scientists are debating the mystery of what killed the dinosaurs, offering conflicting new evidence against the usual suspects: comets, volcanoes, a death star, acid rain and gradual mass extinction.
