NEW JERSEY CO-EMPLOYEES TO SPLIT $ 216 MILLION JACKPOT

Co-workers to decide between $ 140 million for immediate payout or $ 216 million over 26 years

March 22, 2009 About ten co-workers working for an insurance company in New Jersey have decided to split $ 210 million jackpot, owing to the five dollars that each of them kicked into the pool. The valuable winning digits were 26, 32, 35, 43, 52 and 10. Three amongst the lucky winners identified so far are Linda Harrington, Melanie Jacob and Bob Space.

The ten employees, working at New Jersey’s Chubb Commercial Institute announced their win at a hurriedly arranged press conference. Bob space, when asked about the lottery winnings, says, “I checked and rechecked the lottery and I finally sent it to my wife.” Space had purchased 50 lottery number sets for his nine co-workers and himself.

Next day after the win, Space went to work as usual, playing coy. After news of the winnings spread, a lottery official was quoted as saying, “They cannot be considered millionaires at this stage, since the winning ticket wasn’t yet presented to lottery officials.

New Jersey lottery spokesman Dominick DeMarco was reported as saying, “In case you have the winning ticket, sign at the back, put the papers in a safe place and then seek financial and legal advice before talking to us.

Ellis, one of the lottery winners says, “It takes out a lot of stress, besides giving nice cushion in order to help those people whom they want to help. Furthermore, Ellis says, “I am incredibly blessed. I find it extremely difficult to absorb anything at this point.

Having divorced recently, Roth, one of the lottery winners has decided to pay off her bills. The entire thing is cool. I am shocked.
