Piqua Plowers Shovel Up Mega Winnings!

PIQUA, Ohio—A western Ohio mayor says a group of city employees who pooled their money bought the single winning ticket worth $207 million in the latest drawing of the multistate Mega Millions lottery.

The only ticket to match all the winning numbers from Friday night’s drawing was sold at a Kroger supermarket in Piqua.
Mayor Thomas Hudson says the winners are a dozen city employees. But he has declined to name them. He told NBC 4 jokingly that he hopes it doesn’t snow over the weekend before he has a chance to find out what the employees, who work in the street department and operate snow plows, find out if it’s going to snow.
The mayor says the workers have employed local attorney John Hemm to assist in accepting the ticket.  He says he hopes the win of the big prize will bring blessings to the winners and the community.
The win is already good news for Piqua, which is located north of Dayton along I-75.  The mayor says the Kroger store where the ticket was sold has pledge the $100,000 prize it will win to local charities.
