Kentucky School Group Wins $1M Powerball Jackpot

The 'Jones 30,' a group of educators, secured their lottery ticket in a math textbook, each receiving $24,000 after taxes.

A group of 30 current and former employees of a Kentucky middle school, known as the 'Jones 30,' won a $1 million Powerball jackpot.
The winning ticket was hidden in a math textbook for safekeeping before the group claimed their prize.
Each member of the group received $24,000 after taxes, with plans to invest, travel, or make home repairs.
The group has been playing the lottery together for over eight years, using a set of permanent Powerball numbers since 2019.
They plan to continue playing the lottery as a way to maintain their friendship and stay in touch.
