A group of Pennsylvania postal workers has hit a $20 million Powerball jackpot.
The 22 workers from the United States Postal Bulk Mail Center in Northeast Philadelphia headed to Harrisburg on Tuesday to cash the winning ticket and split the lump sum payout of $10.28 million.
Joseph Marquis of the United States Postal Service says the group includes mail handlers, clerks and one supervisor. They all work in the same area and pooled their lottery money for years until they hit the big one this past weekend.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Lansdowne Diner in Delaware County.
Marquis says the group left at lunchtime amid "a lot of congratulations, hugs and kisses." He says everybody was waving them off and wishing them luck.
