10 in N.J. hit Mega Millions for $216M

WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. (AP) — It may go down as the best memo Bob Space ever wrote: “We won the big one!”

He sent it Wednesday morning to nine fellow employees at an insurance company in central New Jersey who may soon share a $216 million Mega Millions jackpot.

The 10, who work in Chubb Corp.’s technology department, showed off their winning ticket Wednesday outside the office in Whitehouse Station.

Each person threw in $5 toward a 50-ticket purchase, which Space made Monday night at a Singin Oil gas station in Toms River.
