Workers at a New Jersey restaurant thought they had won the $949m Powerball jackpot, only to later realize they were looking at the wrong day's numbers.
The staff at the restaurant collectively pooled $210 on tickets hoping they could take the prize.
And they thought they did - for about20 minutes.
A friend of one of the workers texted him the numbers without realising the webpage was showing Wednesday's numbers rather than Saturday's.
