ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A group of firefighters that won $10,000 in the Mega Millions lottery said that they will be donating part of their winnings to help save the life of one of their colleagues, KOB reports.
In a last-minute attempt to snag the $640 million dollars up for grabs last week, five firefighters at the Albuquerque Fire Department in New Mexico decided -- 10 minutes before sales closed -- to buy a few lottery tickets.
With astronomical odds stacked against them, no one was expecting much.
“We were just eating dinner and I had forgotten all about it because what are your chances of winning?” Lt. Steve Keffer told KASA.
