3. A group of 15 hospital workers in Pennsylvania pooled their money and hit the Mega Millions for a million bucks. They each got a check for $48,600 after taxes.
4. And speaking of Pennsylvania: A school district near Philadelphia just welcomed its new class of kindergarteners . . . including 17 sets of twins.
