CLEVELAND — A group of 16 NASA employees in Ohio are the winners of a quarter-million dollars in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing.

The Ohio Lottery said Friday the group from the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland will split $172,500 after mandatory federal and state taxes totaling 31 percent.

The winning numbers for the multistate lottery game on Tuesday were nine, 17, 18, 28 and 43. The Mega Ball was nine, and the Megaplier was three.

The group matched the five regular numbers using auto pick for the ticket, purchased at the Warren Village Beverage & State Liquor store in Cleveland.

The liquor store receives a $1,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
