Congraatulations to the Ohio co-workers. This is the 2nd time in the year 2011 that the Mega Millions Jackpot winning pick is a California Super Lotto Plus pick.

I hope that the winner from Minnesota doesn't say that they don't know what to do with that much money!

Why play if you don't know what to do with it ............. otherwise congrats to the winner/s !!!!!

I see on the Minnesota Lottery website that the

Ticket Worth $228.9 Million was Sold in Dakota County

I kinda wish their lottery was still shut down

Actually, each will receive WAY less then $2M each! Therefore, only those who are over 59 will probably be able to retire early.

The rest will be wise to keep their employer (maybe even seek a couple of promotions). Also, spending a couple of hours paying keen attention on the weekends to monitoring and adjusting where they invested their remaining balance after paying possibly high debts and taking a nice 1-2 week vacation this or early next year.

Congratulations to all these jackpot win... [ More ]

Auto or quick pick is probably the best way to pick combinations for group play, that way no member can be blamed for picking losing combinations.

Sounds good to me cuz gravy has always been considered a beverage in my house.

And let's face it, drinkable meat is an idea whose time has come.

CONGRATS to the group.

I like that pools have been winning lately; gives me hope that one of mine will hit soon.

Hopefully tomorrow my family pool or my oldest work pool will win. My first choice is always my family pool. I say the oldes work pool for second choice because, even tho it's one of the largest pools I run and my cut is smaller, we've been playing for about 8 years and have only had small wins (not that any of the others have had any big wins ) and several of the members recen...

So HOW many of those workers are gonna leave there jobs? Its a DOUBLE win for the area they live in as I am gussing that some will leave there jobs and that will mean they will have to be replaced so that means more jobs for people in that area. Then there is the 'stimulus' of all the money they won.

I think it GREAT when a group like this wins this kinda money. As they often stay in the area they live in and spend most of money there helping everyone in their community.

diamondpalace — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 17:28:30 GMT

Why hope such thing when you could be holding 5+0 ticket wishing you were that second jp winner.

I hope the opposite that more people would win the jackpot like this lottery group here in Ohio.

rdgrnr — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 17:23:23 GMT

I hope the winners don't all call me at the same time to invest in my 'Southern Chicken Soup In A Sponge' idea.

I'm still working on a slogan.

I've narrowed them down to these three so far:

Just squeeze in your mouth - for a taste of the south!

Give the Sponge some squeezes - for the taste that pleases!

No need to buy a bowl - just squeeze in your pie hole!

You gotta admit, they'd be crazy not to get in on the ground floor on this one.... [ More ]

HUGE congrats to the winners!! I play with 37 co-workers in Illinois, Hope to win this wed. on the Power Ball. We have been playing for over 10 years, but only when the pot is 100 million or over, have won some small amounts nothing big yet.

22 Ohio co-workers share $99M Mega Millions jackpot

Lottery Post — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 13:41:50 GMT

By Todd Northrop

A lucky group of 22 co-workers were at the Ohio Lottery's Youngstown office Monday to claim their share of last week's $99 million Mega Millions jackpot.

The Ohio lottery said most of the 22 work for KraftMaid in Jefferson, Ashtabula County, midway between Cleveland and Youngstown. The majority of the winners work together in the logistics and customer service departments at the cabinet making company. The group has been playing the lottery for several years.
