A few dozen middle-school employees in Kentucky banded together to play the lottery and won a $1 million prize.
The group of current and former employees of Rector A. Jones Middle School in Florence, Kentucky, calls itself the "Jones 30" and has played the lottery for over a decade.
"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.
A retired math teacher kept the group organized, stashing the winning ticket in a math textbook, she told the Kentucky Lottery.
"A lot of us have gone on trips together, we've had babies and grandbabies over the years," one winner said in the press release. »
