A jury decided today that a New Jersey lottery winner has to share the $38.5 million won with a pool of 5 co-workers, who purchased 12 tickets together for $2 apiece. The jury couldn’t do anything, however, about their future awkward silences around the water cooler.
The six men were part of a construction team, and the one who took their collective’s money to bought the tickets had claimed the entire prize as his own in 2009. His integrity caused the other workers to A. file a lawsuit, and B. go back and check the materials in every construction project he had ever worked on.
At least the attempted lottery swindle proves that he was a jerk even before he became rich.
