9 Arizona residents claim half of $94.2 Million Powerball Jackpot.
Cheers and shouts filled the lobby of the Arizona Lottery Thursday morning as the terminal rang out We’re in the Money, signaling the validation of one of the two winning Powerball lottery jackpot tickets from the Wednesday, November 1st drawing. The other Powerball winning ticket was sold in Minnesota and has yet to be redeemed.
The group of seven co-workers and two spouses from Arizona will share one-half of the $94.1 million Powerball lotto jackpot. Tanya Poirier, who buys the tickets, said she brought the pool tradition from a former job to the local architectural firm for which the group works. They have been playing for a little over a year but typically only when the jackpot hits the $100 million mark.
We’re tickled pink that we played early this year, she said. The Arizona 9 are Tanya and Steve Poirier, Mark Kristen, Dawn and Mitchell Levy, Jinia Sarkar, Eve Kalliokoski, all of Phoenix; Andrew Schuh, Queen Creek; and Scott Alack, Tempe. They discovered they had won when a co-worker checked the winning numbers on the web, printed them and took them to Tanya.
Tanya checked and double-checked to confirm the numbers. They notified the other co-workers who also notified their spouses. Neither spouse believed them; they thought it was joke, she said.
Everybody was still a bit skeptical until they came to the Lottery to claim their prize.
Asked if the group would continue to play, Tanya said, Oh Yeah! We had winners on other tickets and just rolled them over for the next drawing.
