She said she shared the good news almost immediately with her sister and daughter. Her boss was also excited for her. Brenda said that her boss believed that she deserved the prize.

The twelve members of the group have to give $2 each toward Quick Pick. The group has also won smaller prizes like $10 and free tickets before.

Lahaie narrated: "When I validated the ticket and found out the amount of our win, my first thought was of our group. I was thinking how much the money would help out each member. Then I laughed to myself that we all went to work for a whole week without knowing."

Lahaie said that most members of the group did not believe him when he told them they won the jackpot prize.

Donna Valentine, another member of the group, said "Christopher is known as the joker of the group so we all thought he was playing a trick on us. It took some time to sink in but we're all elated."
