So in some kind of non-funny irony it looks like 7 “hard working” and “productive” state workers are going to split the $319 million jackpot from Friday night. The Jackpot is the 6th largest jackpot in the games history. With a cash value of $202 million the 7 lucky IT nerds are looking to pocket about $28 million each. The winning ticket was purchased as Coulson’s News Center near the capital and despite the speculation no one from the group has come forward to claim the prize so I can’t do a follow home robbery just yet. ---
