But first, today's weather: Humid with periods of sun. High: 90 Low: 67.

Here are the top stories today in Mooresville:

1. "You can't win if you don't play." That's what they say! Well, Tamara Laughinghouse of Mooresville has been playing for the past 20 years using the same numbers, which are her family’s birthday and it finally paid off. She won Powerball for a total of $200,000. According to WSAZ, "Laughinghouse bought the winning $3 ticket from a Food Lion in Mooresville." (WSAZ)
2. Don't forget, the town is holding a public open house on Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at One Mooresville Center, for the new Building Permitting and Inspections Department. The event is open to everyone but is especially important for professionals in the industry to attend to meet the staff, see software demonstrations, and tour the new facility. According to the Mooresville Tribune, "Starting Sept. 5, Mooresville’s Building Permitting and Inspections Department will be responsible for administering and enforcing the North Carolina State Building Codes to provide a reasonable level of safety, public health, and general welfare through plan review, issuance of permits and inspections." (Mooresville Tribune)
3. There was a mix-up of medication at the CVS on North Main Street in Mooresville and reportedly one woman received her own medication as well as someone else's mixed in. According to WBTV, "CVS apologized for the incident, but [the woman] feels it points to some larger questions about safety." Be careful with your medications! (WBTV)
