The Associated Press reports that the workers won a $208 million Powerball jackpot:
A large contingent of employees from Sargento Cheese say they have the winning ticket locked in a safe.
Eric Heimermann is one member of the celebrating group. He told the Fond du Lac Reporter that the mostly second shift workers had chipped in $1 apiece to a pool to purchase lottery tickets.
Heimermann, 24, of St. Cloud, spoke with the newspaper in a telephone interview from Fat Boys Tavern in St. Cloud. The newspaper said many of the winners went to the tavern Sunday night to celebrate.
"I think everybody pretty much decided we're going to pay our bills and we're going to take it from there," he told the newspaper. "We're all going to work tomorrow. We still have a job to do."

Outstanding headline!
Why is it always somebody from Wisconsin who wins the Powerball?
They should spread the wealth around...god, that sounded like a liberal.
What have you done to me?
Pay attention to the news, Newt.
A group of employees of the Missouri Department of Social Services won a huge Powerball drawing just a few months back.
Not only does it happen outside of Wisconsin, but it happens right here in Missouri.
Oh, good. Cash happens.
