Five Bucks, a Quick Pick, and a $2 Million Payday for Three Connecticut brothers

It started with a trip to the Stop & Shop on 44 Lake Avenue Ext. in Danbury — where one brother purchased a Mega Millions ticket using the computer to pick the numbers.
The ticket matched all five white balls drawn on October 24: 11, 18, 31, 51, and 56. The original $1 million prize doubled to $2 million thanks to the 2X multiplier. That winning ticket was claimed three ways, with each brother taking home roughly $666,666. The trio plans to invest the money.
So how is it that these three brothers can split $2 million three ways? “Our mother would be upset if we didn’t share it,” they joked.
