0,000 Win For Indiana Group

A group of 36 co-workers at Symmetry Medical in Warsaw got their weekend off to a great start today when they claimed a $200,000 Powerball prize at Hoosier Lottery Headquarters in Indianapolis.

A rowdy, jovial group of 8 third-shift workers claimed the prize on behalf of the whole group. Some of the winners work first or second shifts and were unable to make the trip to Indianapolis.

The group matched five numbers, but not the powerball number, in the Wednesday, January 21, 2009 powerball drawing. Most of the 36 live in Wabash and Kosciusko Counties. The core of the group have been playing Powerball together for more than two years with different people playing different amounts each draw. Some of the winners, like Bryan Bartoo of Lagro and Daniel Walters of Warsaw, were playing for only the first or second time.

The $200,000 prize was divided 36 ways with each person claiming an amount proportionate to their $1, $2, $3 or $4 contribution.   Each co-worker received a prize somewhere between $1,515 and $15,236 before taxes.The group could have been splitting up a $1 million prize if they had purchased the Power Play option for an extra $1. Jeff Foster of Wabash purchased the group’s winning ticket at Village Pantry in Wabash.

He was checking the group’s tickets after the drawing Wednesday night at work when he discovered they had won. “I was pretty excited,” said Foster.  “I was elated.”Foster’s co-workers had a slightly less subdued take on the situation. They laughed and joked about Foster’s initial reaction to winning.

“He was a screaming wild man, running across the shop,” said Bartoo. Most of the group seemed to share the same approach to spending their winnings, although some joked that they haven’t yet told their wives. “We’ll probably help out our families or friends,” said Foster.  “Bryan’s going to put a lift on his truck.”

1st Million Powerball Power Play Winner In Florida Claims Prize

The Florida Lottery has announced that R. T. Johnson, 66, of Palm Beach Gardens, claimed $1 million from the Florida POWERBALL® drawing held on January 21. Johnson is the first Florida POWERBALL with Power Play winner to match 5-of-5 winning numbers. He purchased the winning ticket at City Discount Beverage, located in North Palm Beach.

Johnson is the second Florida player to match five numbers since the game launched in Florida on January 4.  Because he added Power Play for just $1 more, he won $1 million instead of the standard 5-of-5 prize payout of $200,000.  As a recently introduced new feature of the Power Play option, all match 5 white balls with Power Play are automatically multiplied 5X pushing the prize to $1 million cash.

South Dakota Couple Claims 0,000 Powerball Prize

Great news for this Custer couple, congratulations on your powerball results…

Roger and Toni Smith of Custer arrived at the Pierre Lottery office recently to claim the $200,000 Powerball prize they won in the Saturday, January 17th powerball drawing. Roger regularly buys Powerball ticket for each drawing, but late Saturday realized he hadn’t bought any for the drawing that night.  Roger asked his wife Toni if she was feeling lucky.   “I do feel lucky,” Toni said, and she headed to the Common Cents in Custer and bought ten quick pick Powerball tickets. The couple was having coffee when they read the winning numbers in the paper on Sunday morning. Toni calmly said to her husband, “We didn’t get the Powerball, but we got the rest of them.”
