(Boone County, Ky.) – You may have heard that there was a one million dollar winning Powerball ticket sold in northern Kentucky last weekend.
But did you know it was a group of teachers that split the winnings?
Thirty teachers known as “The Jones 30” hit the Match 5 after purchasing the ticket at Kroger in Hebron.
The win was a long time coming for the group that has been playing the Powerball for 14 years, selecting the same numbers over and over again.
Of the 30 winners, 13 are employed at Jones Middle School, where the group was formed over a decade ago. The others are either retired or work in other Boone County schools and neighboring districts.
Had the Jones 30 hit the 6th number for the Powerball, they would have won $164 million dollars.
They will have to try again for the big jackpot, which they intend to do.
