CNN —Five numbers on one lucky Powerball ticket won $1 million for a Kentucky middle school’s lottery pool of 30 current and former employees, the Kentucky Lottery says.
The group said they’ve played a permanent set of Powerball numbers since 2019, sticking to those numbers week after week.
“Our math teacher and assistant principal pulled them out of a hat,” one winner said, according to the Kentucky Lottery.
The group’s organizer, a retired math teacher, realized the group had won the day after the drawing.
“Some have moved on or retired, but we still continue to do (the pool),” one of the winners told the Kentucky Lottery.
