Their ticket matched the five white balls in the August 20 drawing, earning the club a “Match 5” prize that the group collected this week.

How the Office Lottery Pool Worked

❝
Our club is a group of coworkers who play the Lottery together whenever there is a big jackpot, said Nicholas Stockwell, the club’s representative. I bought several Powerball tickets for our club and checked them the night of the drawing by scanning them.

Stockwell said that when he discovered one of the tickets was a big winner, his coworkers didn’t believe him at first.

When one came back as a $1 million winner, I sent out a text to the group with the news, but no one believed me at first, he said. It was a pretty cool experience for everyone once it finally sunk in that it was real!
