We were shouting and screaming and going around the house singing 'We're in the Money,' Charlene Person said.

Man, I can't wait to have that same experience

13 Players @ $10 per week =$130.00

130 X 52 weeks = $6760 a year

6760 X 12 years in the making = $81.120 total group investment

Or Like Sully16 says $6240 total individual investment

I've been running a pool at work for several years playing Powerball and Louisiana Lotto and sometimes the Millionaire Raffle. With Powerball at $63 million, maybe we'll hit it.

If you do the math thats 10 x 52 x 12 = $6240.00

Thats dedication that paid off. Job well done players.

Their 16-year-old son has already asked for a car.

We all can relate.

It's nice to see a group of average people win the jackpot.

Congratulations on your big win!

It's a tidy sum of approximately $1.36 Million dollars each, after taxes are taken out initially and then Fed takes remainder 10% out next year. Sometimes teams get too big, and therefore ruin opportunity to collect enough for each member to receive 'early' retirement. Yet, at least 13 more people are joyous in the good 'ole U.S.A. this month

Postal workers each paid $10 a week into Mega Millions

Perseverance and planning ahead with a storm bearing down on the region paid off for a group of postal worker friends, who came forward Friday to claim their $29 million jackpot.

We'd been playing for so long, I felt we had to win sooner or later, said Hosea Person, 48. He and 12 others from the priority mail processing center in Romulus had bought Mega Millions tickets for 12 years before hitting it big Feb. 1.
