“I thought it was a prank at first,”
laughed Kelts when claiming the
group’s prize. “I just felt disbelief.”
Kelts says she plans to use her share
of the windfall to travel to Europe
when it’s safe to do so, and said
everyone in the group is busy planning
for how they’ll use their share.
“Everyone is thrilled about the win
and the extra things they can do with
the money,” she noted.
The group – which has had members
rotate in and out – has been playing
with the same subscription for almost
25 years.
