Ten co-workers took home this week's $216 million Mega Millions jackpot, the tenth largest in the game's history.They say at first they thought it was a joke.
"Bob sent an email and it said 'We won the big one.' And, I wrote, 'Terriffic. Hope it was a cash ticket. When do we get together to pick up the winnings?' I was being totally sarcastic," recalled winner Jerry Solas.
The group will now have to decide whether to take $147 million cash payout or split $8 million a year over the next 26 years.
