Powerball winners
Twenty Tennessee coworkers at a metal manufacturing plant will split about $420 million from last Saturday's Powerball jackpot. The North American Stamping Group workers claimed the $420.9 million jackpot on Tuesday. The cash value would be about $12.7 million before taxes per person. The ticket purchased by the group matched all six Powerball numbers and was sold in Lafayette. The group usually bought about $120 worth of tickets every Wednesday and Saturday to support education and the state of Tennessee. Kevin Southerland, one of the winners, said he and a majority of his coworkers plan to keep working, although some may quit their job.. “All these people have always had a heart to help people and be there for people,” he explained. “We can do that if we don’t have any money. Now we can do more and help more. There’s going to be a lot of people blessed.”
