A woman in Kentucky wound up winning $175,000 in a white elephant gift exchange after her first gift was taken from her during a company holiday party.<\/p>\n

Lori Janes, an office manager and treatment coordinator at Harmon Dental Center in Louisville,<\/a> said she had initially grabbed a $25 TJ Maxx gift card at a party on Wednesday but that a fellow employee decided to take the gift from her, per the game\u2019s rules, according to the Kentucky Lottery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Janes then got an opportunity to choose another gift and took the gamble on $25 worth of scratch-off tickets.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

“Once it got to me, it was done and mine to keep. That\u2019s when everyone was telling me to scratch them off,” Janes recalled to lottery officials, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first of the scratch-off tickets ended up winning her $50, drawing some excitement from her co-workers, she said.<\/p>\n

The excitement grew when she scratched a “Hit The Jackpot” ticket and ended up winning the game\u2019s top prize of $175,000.<\/p>\n

“Everyone was going insane,” Janes continued in her statement. “People were getting their calculators out and double-checking. A couple of people even scanned the ticket on the lottery\u2019s app, just to make sure.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for Janes, she “couldn\u2019t believe it.”<\/p>\n

“It was a twenty-five-dollar gift exchange,<\/a> and I won $175,000!” she said.<\/p>\n

The lottery winner said she shared her excitement with her family,<\/a> calling her husband and children from the party.<\/p>\n

They were skeptical at first, she said, but soon joined in the excitement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We figured she didn\u2019t look at it right, but then we heard people in the background celebrating, it became real,” said her husband, who was not identified.<\/p>\n

Hours later, Lori and the family visited the lottery headquarters where she collected a check for her after-taxes<\/a> net winnings of $124,250.<\/p>\n

“This is so crazy. I\u2019m truly blessed,” Janes said.<\/p>\n

Some of the funds will go towards paying off their family vehicles and her daughter‘<\/a>s student loans, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The shop that sold the winning ticket, the Sunrise Market located in Fisherville, will receive a $1,750 bonus, lottery officials said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
