The Reel Life: Good people win edition

28 March 2013

The Reel Life has read some stories about office lottery pools that have gotten real ugly. But a group of people who work in a real estate office in Florida that cashed in a Powerball ticket for $1 million provided one of the best, most heartwarming stories we've read in some time.

According to the Miami Herald, Jennifer Maldonado decided not to chip in $20 for Powerball tickets when the jackpot rose over $300 million. She had only been working at Keller Williams Partner Realty for two weeks and hadn't received her first paycheck.

When she got to work everyone was celebrating and she thought that her coworkers were pulling a prank on her, as she was the only person who didn't participate. Then her boss sat her down and told her that yes, they actually did win. They matched five numbers (though not the Powerball) for a $1 million win.

But even though Maldonado didn't contribute any money to the pool, all her colleagues have decided to chip in a bit so she can share in the winnings. Now that's an office where the Reel Life would like to work!
