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

A group of 30 current and former employees at Rector A. Jones Middle School in Florence, Kentucky, known as the "Jones 30," won $1 million in the Powerball drawing after playing the lottery together for over eight years. Their organizer, a retired math teacher, kept the winning ticket safe in a math textbook, and they plan to continue playing the Kentucky Lottery as a way to stay connected. Each person in the group will receive $24,000 after taxes, and the store where the ticket was sold will receive $10,000.
