Woman opts out of Powerball pool, but co-workers give her cut anyway


By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News | The Sideshow – 3 hrs ago

Imagine you work in a small office. A group of co-workers asks if you'd like to go in on some Powerball tickets. You decline. You're on a tight budget, and you've only been there a few weeks, anyway.
You show up for work the next day to find out they won.
That's exactly what happened to Jennifer Maldonado, an administrative assistant at Keller Williams Partners Realty in Plantation, Fla., whose co-workers matched five numbers in Saturday's $338 million Powerball drawing, winning $1 million.

It wasn't a prank—and, even better, Maldonado's co-workers plan to share their winnings, roughly $83,333 per person after taxes, with her.
"It’s about sharing the happiness," Reader said.

3. I hope they win again.

Even before they checked their tickets, the members of that pool had already passed the most important test in life. True winners, all.
