Cereal Plant Workers Hit the Lottery Jackpot

DateWednesday, June 20, 2012 at 9:17PM

They call themselves "The Shipping 20," but today these Quaker Oats workers in Cedear Rapids, Iowa, are "The Rich 20" after claiming a $241 million lottery jackpot, the state's largest ever.  That's a lot of oatmeal.

The winners, 18 men and two women ranging in age from 35 to 64, work in the shipping department of the cereal plant in Cedar Rapids.

These Quaker Oaks workers will each pocket between $5 and $6 after taxes.
