hit the jackpot

以下這一篇是有關十人合資中大獎的新聞
網址如下:
Ten co-workers from New Jersey say they will split a $216 million Mega Millions jackpot, thanks to the five bucks they each kicked into a pool.
Space went to work as usual on Wednesday morning, playing it coy.
Space played hardball with co-worker Oscar Oviedo, who hadn't paid him yet for his share of the lottery tickets.
It also gives a nice cushion to be able to help the people we want to help
I feel incredibly blessed. I can't even absorb it at this point.
