_MONTBELLO (CBS) - Improbably, amazingly, happily, for the second time in almost a year, a group of Montebello school employees (and the same group to boot) have hit it big in the lottery. Last February, the group of 11 co-workers hit it big and won a $12 million SuperLotto prize. This week, they claimed a prize from a Dec. 2 MegaMillions draw and added $262,743 to their winnings. The employees, mostly clerical workers, told Lottery officials that a portion of the previous jackpot was donated to purchase a new sound system for the school, and that their campus will get a donation from the latest prize as well. The exact identity of the school has not disclosed. Previous to the first win, the group had been playing like clockwork for two years. Their first and biggest win before the 2011 jackpot: $20. It is not known how many of the original group of 11 still work at the school or how many are currently in the group. Some of the first jackpot was set aside to buy more tickets, and group spokeswoman Deanna P. was quoted by the California Lottery as saying the group is not done playing, they intend to go for a third prize.

Music mogul Russell Simmons also confirmed the arrival of the bundle of joy, tweeting “congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z.” A very pregnant Beyoncé had checked into the upper East Side hospital on Friday night under the name “Ingrid Jackson,” a hospital staffer told the Daily News. Beyoncé and her hip-hop hubby, whose real name is Shawn Carter, rented out the hospital’s entire fourth floor for $1.3 million, the employee said. On Saturday night, people were seen bringing bags of takeout and a dozen bottles of red wine onto the heavily guarded hospital wing. After 11 p.m., even doctors and nurses were barred from entering the fourth floor, prompting one doc to complain that he had patients to see. In an effort to keep images from leaking to the public, hospital workers placed tape over security cameras and are forcing employees to turn in cell phones when they arrive for their shifts, a source said. Several security guards were spotted patrolling the perimeter of the hospital Saturday night.
