Kentucky teachers who banded together for years to play the lottery finally won a $1 million prize.
Over two dozen middle-school employees in Kentucky won a $1 million lottery prize.
The "Jones 30," a group of current and former school employees, have played the lottery for years.
They hid their winning ticket in a math textbook, the group's organizer told the Kentucky Lottery."We all taught at the same school at one point or another," one winner told the Kentucky Lottery, according to a press release.
"We've got counselors, admins, special ed teachers, the school nurse," she added. "Some have moved on or retired but we still continue to do it. We've remained buddies for all of these years."
$24,000 each, after taxes. After playing the same numbers weekly since 2019, they matched every one except the Powerball number.
A retired math teacher kept the group organized, stashing the winning ticket in a math textbook, she told the Kentucky Lottery.
"No one looks in a math book," she said. "I knew it would be safe there…page 200. I have checked this a thousand times."

$24,000 after "years". I wonder what the ROI was
If they hurry, they each can get a half Bitcoin
$24000 is not that much, especially in the United States, since 2019 I guess they will have made money, but that money doesn't solve much.
Why did they have to hide the ticket ?
I think he just "stashed it" there until the the winning numbers were drawn.
