Thread: $50Mil Lotto Jackpot

I'm sure news has spread... $50 million won by a group of 19 call centre workers at Bell. Well, I also work for Bell, in the same building as the winners! And... on our floor we also play the same lottery with the same 20-ish people every week.

From what I hear, they were playing $20 each every week which together reduced their odds down to about 1:350,000. I tell you, now I know that the whole "winning the lottery" thing actually does happen to real people. I'll keep playing every chance I get, but I'm still not going to go broke doing it. Remember, even 1 in 350,000 odds = 99.9997% chance you will LOSE!

how much did each of them win? either way, they are all getting new cars and houses...

k well america just had a 355 million dollar jackpot.. and TWO ppl won.

Im surprised the dumbass manager would allow that to happen, now they have to search for a whole new team...

thats TINY.

I love the fact that lotteries can be taxed as income in the states though...

It was a joke...

2 of them are managers... I think the gov't here still takes half tho. There are a couple people claiming they were supposed to be in on it, so now the Lotto has to investigate before anyone gets anything. I smell a lawsuit coming... They all still work here. Makes you realize two things. 1. real people really do win the lottery. 2. It can ruin your life when everyone you know wants a piece of it.
