A group of 24 co-workers at a retail store in North Carolina is sharing a $2 million Powerball® prize won in Saturday night's record-setting $590 million drawing.

After taxes, that's about $56,000 each.

The group pooled their money and bought a total of 80 Powerball® tickets from the K Won Mart on Hwy. 160 W. in Fort Mill. Why did they play in South Carolina?

"We thought there wasn't a tax in South Carolina," laughed one of the winner's realizing their mistake.

The clerk talked the group's buyer into spending the extra $1 for PowerPlay®. They are thankful she complied. Spending the extra $1 increased their would be $1 million prize to $2 million.

ROCK HILL, SC (WBTV)- South Carolina's unemployment dropped to its lowest rate in five years in April. All 46 counties added jobs in the last month, and four counties saw their rates drop a full point since March.

"Very glad to hear that," says Rock Hill resident Glenda Sandman. "I have a brother that's a developer and he hasn't been able to develop much in the past few years so I'm glad for him for that. And he tells me that it's getting better too."

We did find some busy construction sites around the area, and plenty of people who say they're sensing a turnaround.

"I'm a local peanut vendor," says Dennis Jackson, "so yeah, I can see my business picking up, and I talk to people that come in – change isn't skyrocketing, but it is coming."

Part of that is because big companies feel   comfortable enough to hire again. On Monday, AT&T said it plans to add more than 120 jobs in South Carolina.
