School Cooks Claim Powerball Jackpot

POSTED: 8:00 a.m. EST October 28, 2003

They've gone from the soup line to being millionaires.

Fifteen school cooks and a janitor from a school in Holdingford, Minn., will split a lottery jackpot from a Powerball ticket worth more than $95 million.

The school workers bought one of two winning tickets for the $190.9 million Powerball jackpot. The second ticket was sold in Indiana.

Since 1990, the Minnesota women had been putting a quarter from each paycheck toward four Powerball tickets.

The winners said they still haven't decided on choosing the cash payout option worth about $2.1 million each after taxes or the payment option.

CNN reports that all the workers still plan to keep their jobs with the school district, despite their winnings.
