A Kentucky woman brought home the best present at her office gift exchange.
Lori Janes, from Louisville, won $175,000 after receiving a lottery ticket at her office holiday party, according to a news release from the Kentucky Lottery. Janes, an officer manager and treatment coordinator at Harmon Dental Center, participated in a “white elephant” gift exchange at her office on December 13. All gifts had to have a value of $25 or less. Another participant “stole” a $25 TJ Maxx gift card Janes had received.
People were getting their calculators out and double checking,” said Janes in the release. “A couple of people even scanned the ticket on the lottery’s app, just to make sure.” “I couldn’t believe it,” she went on. “It was a $25 gift exchange, and I won $175,000!” Her husband and kids also reacted with disbelief at first.
