The "Ocean's 16," as a group of public employees on the Jersey shore has been dubbed after snagging one of three winning tickets in last week's $448 million Powerball jackpot, are gathering Tuesday to discuss the windfall.
Three winning tickets in two states matched all the numbers for a $448.4 million Powerball jackpot, including one sold in a supermarket in a New Jersey coastal community hit hard by Superstorm Sandy last year.
The lucky ticket was bought sometime Saturday or earlier at a Publix supermarket in Zephyrhills, a city of about 13,000 people best known around the state for its brand of spring water with the same name.
The second winner of the $587.5 million Powerball jackpot is a 37-year-old electronics industry professional who grew up in a modest home in Pennsylvania and moved to an affluent Phoenix suburb last year before striking it rich in the lotto.
Workers at a deli in Maryland reported that a man in construction gear came in to check his tickets and was caught on surveillance video overjoyed at the results.
Two lucky ticket holders - one in Arizona and another in Missouri - are America's newest multimillionaires after the largest Powerball jackpot drawing ever.
