The colleagues said they’ve been buying regularly buying tickets for years.
“I had no idea we had won until the cashier checked the ticket,” said Mason, who claimed the prize, which earned each of the four around $25,000. I just fell kind of quiet for a second then immediately called (the other group members). It was such a surprise.”
