They work together, play together. Now these Fort Mill workers are Powerball winners.
Turns out, being on the Monday crew isn’t always that bad.
Co-workers at a Fort Mill business recently won a $50,000 Powerball Prize, according to the South Carolina Education Lottery. The second-shifters at a tool room call themselves the “Every Day is Monday Crew.”
But it was Sunday afternoon they learned they’d won Saturday’s drawing. Each of the 13 members will take home about $3,800 before taxes.
The winning ticket was sold at Miller’s Produce at 3660 S.C. 51, which gets a $500 commission for selling the ticket.
Winners range from 23 to 66 years old. Odds of hitting a $50,000 Powerball win are 1 in 913,129. The Monday Crew chips in $4 a week, each, to buy tickets. One of theirs matched four of five white balls and the Powerball number on Saturday. Winning numbers were 27, 35, 38, 57, 56 and 10 for the Powerball.
