21 members of the “Lunchroom Ladies” lottery club from Milford, Mich., will share a $1 million prize, won earlier this winter in the Mega Millions lottery. This announcement about their group success was made on May 15 on the lottery organizer's website.

 

The “Lunchroom Ladies” lottery club matched the five white balls in the Jan. 16 drawing to win the big prize: 02-10-42-49-54. They bought the winning ticket at the BP gas station, located in Southfield, Mich.

 

“We are coworkers and have been playing the Lottery as a club for a while,” said one of the club members. “I checked the ticket at a store and when I found out we’d won $1 million, I was in complete shock! I called all the club members and told them we won big, but a lot of them had a hard time believing me at first.”

 

“The only thing more fun than playing Lottery games with your friends is winning big prizes with your friends,” said Lottery Commissioner, Suzanna Shkreli. “Congratulations to the Lunchroom Ladies lottery club on a huge win in the Mega Millions game.”

 

“Everyone in our club agrees that winning feels like a dream and it still hasn’t fully sunk in for anyone yet,” said the club’s representative, Marc Swoish. The club visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim their prize.
