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!
