Group of Boone County Educators Claim $1 Million Powerball Prize

A $1 million Powerball prize sold in Northern Kentucky has been claimed, but not by an individual—rather, by a group of 30 educators and former educators from Boone County.

Dubbed "The Jones 30," these individuals all previously worked at Jones Middle School and have been pooling their resources to play Powerball together for years.

Their dedication to the community and their school is evident, with one member expressing, "Once a Jet, always a Jet."

While the group's primary motivation is their love for the school, winning the $1 million lottery prize serves as a delightful bonus.

Despite their disbelief, the educators are grateful for the unexpected windfall and continue to cherish their ties to the community.
