Personally I would not consider it great news splitting $600,000 20 ways. I would most likely get a headache.

They did not choose PowerPlay on the winner. They won extra because the Match 5 Bonus rule took effect.

25k is so so. Not keen on a 20 way split...so better that it was them . Best to them.

I invested $50.00 dollars on 25 tickets with Powerplay. Had I been a member of the 20, it would have been a $2.00 investment and a $25K win. Buying on my own, I get to keep the whole $12.00!! Of course, the advantage is, there will be no fight on how I will spend it

it was a group of 20 employees. x $2 = 40 tickets or 20 tickets with powerplay. So the overage of the 13$'s purchased could have been from a previous win that they dump into the next drawing.

I wonder if the two dollar investment bought the winning ticket, or it would have been the same with only one dollar. Think they will invest three dollars in the Mega Millions? $24K is a nice chunk to have in your account. Go to bed, wake up $24K richer. That is a real dream

Usually, getting a phone call at 1 a.m. can only mean bad news.

But it was great news Sunday morning for a group of 20 laboratory employees at Medical Associates in Clinton, Iowa, who learned they will share a $667,142 prize in Saturday's Powerball drawing.

One of the group, Carol Fritz, said they have been pooling money and buying Powerball tickets for three years, winning small amounts here and there.

With Saturday's Powerball jackpot up to a record $365 million, the group decided to... [ More ]
