Sep. 7--They're rolling in dough.
Ten bakery workers at a Staten Island Shop Rite are splitting some major bread -- a $19 million New York Lottery jackpot.
"You can't explain the feeling," said winner Linda Revella, 55, who is already planning to buy a 2006 Land Rover SUV or a Mercedes-Benz SL 500. "I've never had this much money."
About three months ago, the 10 bakers from the supermarket on Hylan Blvd. in New Dorp decided to pool their money for good luck.
"We kept on losing [at Mega Millions], then we decided to play $10 on Lotto and $10 on Mega Millions," said baker's clerk Louise Amedola, 70.
