41 Coworkers In Holbrook Split $1 Million Lottery Jackpot

HOLBROOK (CBS) - Workers at a Holbrook metal fabricating firm are smiling after willing $1 million in the MegaMillions drawing this week.

Richard Gibbons of Scituate cashed in the winning ticket for himself and 40 of his co-workers.

The group has been pooling its money on tickets each week since 2009.

The winnings won't be split evenly. Some co-workers tossed $1 into the pool, while others spent $5. The big spenders will see close to $20,000 after taxes, while the others will only see about $4,000.

The winning ticket was purchased at Fast Lane Convenience on Union Street in Holbrook.
