Powerball Winners Claim $276M Jackpot

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (AP) ― Eight Monongalia County tax office employees have claimed a winning Powerball ticket worth $276.3 million.

The winners were introduced at a news conference Tuesday at the West Virginia Lottery's headquarters.

The eight winners opted to take the $139 million cash payout option.

The winning ticket for Saturday's drawing was sold at a video poker bar in Westover, across the Monongahela River from Morgantown.
 
The office has 11 employees, but only eight contributed money to purchase tickets: chief tax deputy Linda Fominko, Crystal Magro, Allecia Priore, Andrea Grey, Amanda Pugh, Judith Gapen, Paula Pride and Jessica Dotson.

The ticket was the seventh sold in West Virginia to win a Powerball jackpot and was the seventh-largest win in Powerball history.
