The Grissini Ristorante employees had entered a 42-person pool, but realized that they'd been looking at the winning numbers from a prior drawing when once received a text from a friend, General Manager Michael DeVincenzi told Daily Voice.

One employee quit, but has been rehired, DeVincenzi said.

Grassini employees will be featured on Jimmy Kimmel Wednesday evening.
