A group of friends got lucky at a Detroit-area porn shop earlier this week. The group, which has chosen to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, purchased a winning Powerball ticket at the Uptown Book Store in Highland Park, an adult novelty store that also rents out pornographic videos. No details are known about the group of friends but they must have been flabbergasted to know that they won $128.6 million on Friday and that the media announced where the ticket was purchased.
Thankfully for them, Mike Greer stepped forward to claim the $128.6 million ticket on their behalf. During the press release he refused to answer any questions about the group or why they were at the store but did say that the winners plan to donate some of their winnings to an unnamed local church, "and maybe fix some things around the house."
Greer told reporters that he will get a portion of the prize money, but he did not divulge how many people would share the prize. "The Prize is a Blessing. We were in shock. Like I told my family, everything has changed, but nothing has changed."
Uptown Book Store will receive $50,000 from lottery officials for selling the winning ticket which should buy a lot of pornos.
