A lottery
syndicate composed of mattress factory workers from Innovate Mattress Solutions
in Winfield, West Virginia, had their lottery dreams answered when they scored
a $1 million US Powerball win.
Each member
of the "IMS Dreamers" syndicate will receive about $57,000 and
although this is not enough to warrant an early retirement the winners agree it
will make life easier.
Company payroll manager, Kristen Anderson, has
only been working at IMS for a few weeks and faced a long commute to work each
day, in a car that only returned 12 miles to the gallon, so she has already
found a good use for her Powerball winnings. "I just bought a car
today," she said.
