Kentucky workers verified as Powerball winners
LOUISVILLE, Ky. SEP 07 – Lottery officials say they’ve verified that a group in Kentucky won the $61.5 million jackpot in last night’s Powerball drawing.
The money will be divided among 22 current and former employees of Nukote International in Bardstown, Ky. The business makes cartridges for computer printers.Taking the option of a lump sum instead of payments spread over a number of years would bring $28.5 million. Before taxes, that’s nearly $1.3 million per person, less than half what annuities would be.
