Five winners split $15,000 Friday night in the World Championship Domino Tournament Sweepstakes

The money was split five ways by ticket holders David Darby, Patricia Barnes, Joe and Troy Richburg, Jennifer Curry, and Dorcas Williamson.
Splitting is allowed once their are only 10 tickets left in the drawdown if all ticket holders agree. With 10 left, Joey Watson said, “Keep drawing.”
With seven left on the board, Watson agreed to split, and Barnes said, “Keep drawing.”

Next, Dave Finlin’s ticket was drawn, and there were six left. Watson, who originally wanted to keep going, was drawn next.

After fevered calls to those ticket holders not present, the jackpot was split among the five remaining on the board..
