Co-worker passes on office pool that won Mega Millions $319 jackpot
One state worker is bumming today for sure as he passed up the chance to chip in with his co-workers who ended up with the winning Mega Millions ticket.
The kicker is - this man usually kicks in his dollar with the rest of his seven co-workers when they play the Mega Million lottery. He just passed up a chance to be a millionaire, as his seven comrades at work will be splitting the $319 million dollar winnings from the winning Mega Million ticket.
This information technology worker was asked twice last week to join the Mega Million lottery pool. The man, whose name is not being released, said “no, I am not feeling lucky this week.” Oh, this poor guy!
The winners of the Mega Millions ticket are lunch time regulars at Cook’s Deli in Albany. The story going around at Cook’s today is the man passed on chipping in his dollar this time. The owner of the Deli says she “feels horrible for him.” His share of the Mega Millions winnings would have been $16 million after taxes, reports the NY Post today.
The Mega Million winners worked in IT for the State’s Home and Renewal Agency. They were called the “geek squad” at their lunch time haunt. The Mega Million winners have not been seen since their big win. The worker who passed on the lottery pool has also not been seen since the drawing.
The customers that know the workers who won the lottery say they are not planning to go back to work, except to pass along the unfinished work to their co-workers. A spokesman for the agency confirmed that the Mega Millions winners did not come to work on Monday, although they have not formally resigned as of yet.
The Mega Million winners stayed out of the public eye yesterday, but one came out long enough to stake their claim, the lottery officials said. Lottery officials have confirmed that the winning Mega Millions ticket has been claimed and the next step is to plan the day and time to hand over the winnings.
Carolyn Hapeman, a lottery spokesman said that most likely the workers are busy meeting with their lawyers and financial wizards as they make their future plans for this money.
The worker who passed on chipping in for this Mega Millions lottery ticket may be giving new meaning to the saying “having a bad day.” Next time you have a day where things just don’t seem to be going right, think about the day (plural) that this man must be having!
