Coworkers Win Lottery, All but One Chipped into Pool
While we all dream of winning the lottery, many of us accept we never actually will. Still, some continue to play in the hope that their dreams come true. For one Florida office, that dream became a reality.
By now, all have heard about the New Jersey Bodega owner who won the massive Powerball jackpot of $338 million, but what they may not have heard is that a realty office one a lesser, but still major lottery prize.
The employees at Keller Williams Partner Realty in Plantation, Florida had an ongoing pool going, with each putting in $20 dollars to buy a number of Powerball tickets. However, when it came time collect each workers’ contribution, one person, a new hire, had to pass because she had not received her first paycheck and was watching her spending.
Unable to pitch in, administrative assistant Jennifer Maldonado was shocked to walk into work on Sunday, March 24 to see her new coworkers crying and celebrating. When she was told the news, she said she thought they were playing a joke on her. It wasn’t until her boss sat her down and told her they won $1 million, that she realized she has missed out on the big payday.
The office had purchased 120 tickets at $2 each and matched 5 numbers to win $1 million – or about $83,000 apiece after taxes.
Though Maldonado was the only one who did not put in any money, the office has said they will cut her in on the winnings. They did not specify how much.
