(CNN)- "Fourteen city workers and one retired city worker in the western
Ohio town of Piqua claimed a $207 million 12-state lottery prize Wednesday.
After five years of buying Mega Millions Lottery tickets, a group of 15
people in Ohio finally hit the jackpot. The workers posed for pictures behind an oversized replica of the check, smiled for photographers and described their plans, which range from buying a new truck to quitting a job and traveling.
As they had done twice a week for the past five years, the group pooled
their money to buy Mega Millions Lottery tickets. Last Friday, a ticket bought at a Kroger supermarket in Piqua changed their lives.

"MARCELLUS and his men blockaded Syracuse, in Sicily, for two years. The Roman general expected to conquer the Greek city state easily, but the ingenious siege towers and catapults designed by Archimedes helped to keep his troops at bay.
Then, in 212 BC, the Syracusans neglected their defences during a festival to the goddess Artemis, and the Romans finally breached the city walls. Marcellus wanted Archimedes alive, but it wasn't to be. According to ancient historians, Archimedes was killed in the chaos; by one account a soldier ran him through with a sword as he was in the middle of a mathematical proof.
One of Archimedes's creations was saved, though. The general took back to Rome a mechanical bronze sphere that showed the motions of the sun, moon and planets as seen from Earth."
