(AP) -- A group of Michigan auto workers has claimed one of two winning tickets in last week's $96.9 million Powerball lottery. The Ohio Lottery says that most of the 14 winners all work together in the paint shop at a Detroit Chrysler plant that makes the Dodge Viper.

The winners claimed their prize Tuesday in Toledo. The lone Ohioan in the group bought the ticket at a carryout just outside Toledo.

All of the others are from the Detroit area. The lottery says each of the 14 winners will get a lump-sum payment of $1.2 million.

The other winning ticket for the drawing was sold in Montana. The Ohio Lottery says at least two of the winner plan to have a news conference Thursday.
