"Kentucky Middle School Workers Win $1M Powerball, Hide Ticket in Math Textbook"

A group of 30 current and former employees of a Kentucky middle school, known as the "Jones 30," won a $1 million Powerball jackpot after using the same numbers for over eight years. The group, which includes teachers, administrators, and the school nurse, had been pooling their money together and adopted a unique strategy of choosing a set of permanent Powerball numbers in 2019. Each winner was awarded $24,000 after taxes, and while some plan to invest, others intend to use the money for travel or home repairs. The group expressed their excitement at winning as a team and plan to continue playing the lottery as a fun way to stay connected.
