2005 Market outlook year in review -- Cheers to 2004

2004 was a good year for printers to play the lottery. Several lottery jackpots were claimed by printing company employees in the past 12 months. The good fortunes (no pun intended) began in January when 10 veteran employees at the Quebecor World facility in Montreal picked the winning numbers for the Super 7 Lotto, netting them a cool C$17.5 million. In May, Jim and Tom Hare, owners of Hare Brothers Printing in Philadelphia, hit paydirt in the multi-state Powerball game, taking a cash option of $26.9 million. Lightening struck again when 33 employees at Sussex Printing in Seaford, DE, collected the $117 million cash option from a $214.7 million Powerball jackpot.
