NJ Powerball Winners Introduced to Public

We've seen their picture, but today, the public is learning about the lucky group of 16 Ocean County workers that hit the lotto last Wednesday.

Dubbed the "Ocean's 16," a nod to the "Ocean's Eleven" series of movies, the winners validated their Powerball ticket Monday for a portion of the $448 million jackpot.

A check for more than $86 million was presented to the group at Lottery Headquarters. Each will get about $3.8 million after taxes, according to lottery spokeswoman Judith Drucker.

Today, newly-minted millionaires are being introduced by lottery offiicials in Toms River, the town where they work.

The winning ticket was sold at a Little Egg Harbor Township Acme.

A suburban Minneapolis man, Paul White, claimed one of the Powerball prizes last week.

The holder of the third winning ticket, also sold in New Jersey, has not yet come forward.
