It could be considered that a true Christmas miracle occurred when a group of employees exchanged gifts during lunch hour and one of them took $200 thousand dollars , thanks to winning a Scratch-Off lottery ticket.
Lori Janes, the lucky winner, expected to receive a gift card from her favorite store, but that gift ended up in the hands of a co-worker of hers.
Instead, Janes ended up getting some Scratch-Off lottery tickets.
As he revealed them, he realized that one of them contained a prize of no less than $200 thousand dollars.
“You are excited, but you are not sure that (the prize) is really real. So I think you want some clarity from someone other than the office, to tell you it’s real. That’s when I said, do you mind if I go to the lottery office right now?”
Janes got the confirmation she was hoping for at the Kentucky Lottery office, because that’s where they told her that In effect, he had taken $200 thousand dollars.
Janes said that she now has the giant check they give her at the lottery offices to take her photo under her Christmas tree.
“It’s great to celebrate Christmas like this. It’s a blessing. You still go into shock sometimes when you think about it. But it’s a great experience,” said Janes.
