Good morning, McKinney-Frisco! I'm Nicole Tess Kazora and I'll be your new source for everything happening in and around town. Now, here's what you need to know to start your day off on an informed note.

First, today's weather:

Cloudy and windy. High: 80 Low: 58.

Here are the top three stories today in McKinney-Frisco:

  1. A McKinney resident recently claimed a $1 million second-tier prize off the scratch ticket game, Instant Millionaire. The ticket was purchased at Kwik Shop, located at 215 E. University Drive in McKinney. The winner has chosen to remain anonymous. (CBS News)
  2. Earlier this year at the 5A State Swim & Dive meet, Camille Murray became the first swim and dive athlete from McKinney North High School to claim the title of State Champion after winning gold in the 100-yard butterfly and 100-yard backstroke. She also set a new 5A state record in the backstroke at a time of 53.82. Check out Star Local Media's interview with Murray, the record-breaking swimmer. (Star Local Media)
  3. Grab a bite to eat and socialize at Mochinut! The international chain opened its Frisco location in March and offers doughnuts made with Japanese rice, also known as mochi, in a variety of flavors. Further down the list, the shop offer churros, yuzu, s'mores, and black sesame, among several other variants. Don't miss the great flavors. (Community Impact Newspaper)
