I agree. That would be a good amount of money to some people. I wouldn't turn it down.

That 10.2 million is before any taxes were taken out. So lop off the immediate 25% (PA doesn't tax winnings, lucky them) and they're left with 7.65M to divide up among 22 people which makes it about $347,727 per person, by tax time they might have to pay another 10% unless they have some really good deductions. Still, not a bad chunk of change, certainly could get a few kids through college or be a nice nest egg enhancement for retirement.

Now if only they could have come up with something more original as a name.. How many "Lucky *Insert the number of members of the pool here*" have there been? Not like it matters I guess.

Not enough to retire on but a nice little nest egg to fall back on.   A nice vacation and a few new toys.

Most folks who do retire have a much smaller nest egg to fall back on if they don't include the value of their homes.

I wouldn't say no to some of that pie! 

That is 22 people who don't have to worry about the financial crisis. I do hope they don't go on a crazy spending spree, but invest it for the long term.

Good Luck Folks!

"The Powerball ticket was a quick-pick purchased at the Lansdowne Diner in Lansdowne, Delaware County."

I wonder how many tickets were actually purchased by this group for this draw. I can't imagine 22 people only pitched in between 4 cents and a nickel to buy just a single $1.00 quick-pick.

True.
