A Keller Williams Real Estate team won $1 million from a shared lottery ticket, and then shared those winnings with a new co-worker that had opted out of the ticket purchase. Administrative assistant Jennifer Maldonado had only been working two weeks, and had yet to receive a paycheck. Based on not having received her paycheck yet, Jennifer opted out of the lottery ticket purchase. The group had purchased $120.00 worth of tickets, and even though a co-worker offered to loan Jennifer the money she turned it down.
Jennifer arrived to work Sunday night and was greeted with screaming and jumping by her co-workers. She thought they were pulling a prank on her until her boss sat her down and told her this was real, and that they were going to share their winnings with her. Each person kicked in a bit of their winnings (undisclosed amounts) to give to her.
“As a team we put together a fat pile of money,” said mega agent Laurie Finkelstein Reader “If we do the right thing and always care about other people, the right thing will happen to us.” “I’m blessed,” she added. “My share of money won’t change my life but so far this has touched many lives — it’s about sharing the happiness.”
What a great example of the Keller Williams culture in action!
