New Jersey garage workers share in $448m powerball jackpot

TWO New Jersey officials say 16 garage workers have one of the three winning tickets in a $448 million Powerball jackpot.

The Press of Atlantic City reports that Ocean County Vehicle Maintenance Department Director Jim Pine and Freeholder Jack Kelly say the employees have the ticket sold at an Acme Markets store in Little Egg Harbor.

Mr Pine says they're a group of "wonderful, hardworking people," who showed up for work on Thursday.

Paul White, a 45-year-old project engineer from Ham Lake, Minn., claimed his third of the jackpot Thursday. He's taking a lump sum, which will amount to $US58.3 million after taxes.

The holder of the third ticket, also from New Jersey, hasn't come forward yet. That ticket was sold in a supermarket in central New Jersey.
